Will the transfer tool allow you to transfer a guild leader after the guild leader use the pack function? Currently guild leader will not show up in the transfer tool.

But based on what you said before, the information for inactive accounts wouldn't be saved.
Let's say I transfer my guild leader before my guildmates. Then I unpack my guild on the new server... What renown would it have then? Is it the same as the original server even if my guildmates haven't transferred? And if one of them (active characters) doesn't transfer in the end, what would happen to my guild's renown?
The guide leaves a lot of points unexplained.
Id pay twice as much for VIP if I could get 120 to 150 ping.
Some people just dont appreciate what they get.
As for the people claiming to have 200+ characters they play - you can spread them across the 4 servers. For free.
If you have 300 or 400 characters, I dare say it will be bad luck. I dont want a small game dedicating any resources to fix a problem created by players who cant control their addiction.

Agreed. 3 US servers seems like way too many for the small population of DDO.

Nah it’s fine. I think during peak times all current U.S. servers combined doesn’t exceed 2500 concurrent players.

If you don't recognize the name Erofen(suffix) you are not very active in grouping on Orien (unless you are always playing with the same people).

They've said in the Fridays at Four stream, that the guild renown is stored within the character data (as how much renown each character earned for the guild). So it should be something like :
You transfer you guild leader and get the renown your guild leader has.
With each of the guild members transfers, their renown would add up to the guild.
If someone won't trasfer, their part of renown is lost forever.

What hosting? Its read only. Port over a copy and let people read it.

In today's weekly stream, they mentionend privacy concerns; there's info in that forum data that they can't just pass on to a 3rd party to host.

They always have an excuse. If they own the data and just port it over as a copy, how is that a privacy issue?

Can they not nuke/censor that data before passing it over? Or does someone need to make a scraper and save all the threads that way? We don't need account logins. We just need the text threads.

Pitiful. Guilds should not lose levels due to a forced transfer.

I don't know. It could be as basic as the manhours (& costs) to do so isn't worth it to scrub anything like that from the old forums. I only repeated what was said in the stream, I assume there were deeper discussions on SSG's end behind the scenes that led to the overall choice to get rid of the old forums entirely.

I can do things others can't...
My guess is some of the PMs might be there still, which could contain personally identifiable data, which if allowed out, really would be a Data Breach (which is basically a no-no all across the globe) and would land SSG in hot water (unlike the gambling/reroll detail that players keep bringing up, which is only a "might be" vs an actually, yeah, SSG in trouble situation).

Honestly....I don't think they know for sure what will happen.

It still has to be hosted on some server somewhere.

What you hope is that someone reads this forum and makes sure they have an answer for every question before July 9. They don't have to share the answers, just know that they have an answer. Somehow I see something as simple as guild leader packs up and leaves Thelanis for Thrane, no one in guild on Thelanis can get back in, guild is disbanded, all renown lost.
How hard is it to print off a paper copy of current guild names, guild leaders, and total guild level and then restore the guild to that level after it is formed on new server.

I'm a US player who works overnight, so fully expect the new, more populated US servers to feel like a ghost town for me. (On the other hand, my guildies all live in Vegas, so pitching them on a euro server is a non-starter.)
