What amazes me is that people are amazed by the situation.

It's like people trying to squeeze through the doors with all the others and complaining about all the pressure and physical interactions.

It was fairly obvious that the system will be overstressed with thousands of people trying to pack and transfer at the same time. And the funniest thing is that there is not really any benefit in transferring early. If you cared about names you could with no problem log into your new server and create a toon to reserve your favourite(s). I know I did. And I will transfer in a week... or a month when all the queues clear and all the kinks are worked out.

TL:DR Early adopters always suffer only for the chance of being able to say: First!

Not great player but having fun when we can
What about people that can't transfer because they can't empty their TR cache because they don't have enough favour-given BtC space. If we're not expected to buy favor granted classes and trees on the new server surely we're not expected to buy bank space????

EDIT I see you're answering this on Discord
"We are considering our best options to assist, and once we have more to say we will."
So that's grand.
I had recommended on Forums that they add 400 Character Bank Slots on every character that would go away on TR. Instead they said, sometime next week they will add 60 Character Bank slots on 64-Bit worlds? That helps those who lose Favor-rewarded Character Bank and Backpack slots (2 + 2 = 4 with 20 spaces each = 80 slots... 80 < 60). They also said they would add 2 Character slots on all worlds (hasn't happened and 10 slots on 64-bit Destination Worlds. I haven't seen the 2-Character slots and haven't heard of anyone who has.

Yeah I was expecting something like 80 temporary slots which would expire upon the next TR on the new world as they wouldn't be necessary to be provided by SSG after that point. But getting 60 permanent slots instead means one only has to get one tier of favor before transferring and we get the further benefit of forever having 60 spaces to store even more loot in future TR cycles.

I'm guessing the 2 Character slots might need a hotfix as they haven't appeared yet. I'm unsure.

It's also possible they're holding off on the 2 Character slots to prevent "everyone" from transferring yet so people who need those slots are stalled, and people who need the 60 bank to move on are stalled too.

Top Secret source sent me a photograph taken from his ring cam as he was touring SSG. Figured I would share, so everyone knows how it is going behind the scenes.. Thought this was to cute not to share. :ROFLMAO:

The DDO game worlds will be unavailable on Thursday, July 17th from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) for a hotfix that will allow us to open our new game worlds and begin free character transfers. The new 64-bit game worlds with free transfers enabled from our 32-bit worlds will open at 2:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) on Thursday. Please see the latest information and learn how to transfer for free on DDO
Is the transfer shutdown indeed for 12:00 (midnight) until 1:30 AM? Did this occur already?

wont let me unpack on 2 toons because guild did not go to, now what?
See :

A new addition to our transfer guidance:

If you are in a guild that you intended to leave, or that you know will never transfer from a 32-bit game world and you forget to leave your guild before packing, there is a command that will delete the guild data from your character permanently. The command is /transfer delete guild. This command will permanently delete your individual guild information with no ability to recover. THIS CHANGE CANNOT BE UNDONE. This command is useful for players who find themselves unable to unpack their guild information because the guild is never established on a destination world, or for players who fail to leave a guild prior to packing that they indended to leave.

I have retried. Failed again. Two characters and all my guild property are lost in the astral plane . Contacted support, left copies of the email, haven't heard from a person as far as I can tell.
Ouch. I'm sure it's not lost and there will be some remedy to recover those data - keeping my fingers crossed. Was there any infomation given about the cause of the failed transfer?

I got my first toon transferred in the first 8 hours. But each of my next four attempts took 4 to 8 hours each only to send me an email saying the transfer had failed. So I still only have 1 of 43 toons moved. Anything I might be doing that causes the transfer to fail?
