No... it would be good to see SSG fail on such a large scale. Then be forced to publicly walk back changes player didn't ask for or want.

SSG needs a big slice of humble pie to remind them that they work for us, not a bunch of investors.
There is the mistake, they do not work for us. I have owned businesses, I worked for me, not the customer.

Are you going to give the Europian server the same downtime as the american ones, or use the opportunity to change that to something more sensible to Europe's timezone?
Probably main reasons not to do this are:

1) Updates and patches would be done in EU server first (pro and cobs to this)
2) Everyone heading to moonsea while everything else is down.

Booked another day off now on the 15th to stand a chance of preserving my main toon names - would be good if you could do something for VIP's for early access like you did with LOTRO

But you forget that your customers get to dictate your success. If they feel that your business value is lacking, you'll soon enough find out, and so will your competitors.
I agree with that but I don't work for them. I have to provide a product/service at a quality and price that customers are willing to pay.

So does SSG... To which, I see they're full of fail. Which else would they alter the drop rates (marginally) if the pre-orders were doing so well?

Things always get adjusted. It could be they monitored how many have acquired them and found it to be less than intended. We don't know why and they are not obligated to tell us.

Now I need to get in game and see if they is anything I can do in advance to mitigate this schedule change.

But who changes something like this a week out in advance?

You absolutely have to be on point/take off work if you want to have a snowball’s chance at getting your name reserved.

This is insane.

We're not sure if it is the 15th or 16th yet. Seems unlikely that the transfers start before maintenance on the 16th.

If you asked me if I ever had to delay a deployment with 7 days notice and I said no then I would be lying. I don't know why they had to delay. The bigger issue is being this close to the end of the DC lease but I don't know the drivers for that either.

How many people do you think are going after elminster or gandalph or pollmaker?

It's wonderful that you see the good in most people...
However, there is this thing called "spite" which corrupts the souls of some people leading them to do such things as create a character with a particular name for no other reason than to deny someone else acquiring it...

Just saying... ;)

^This.

All my enemies know who I play, they will climb mountains and blow up Mars in order to deny my 'Elminster of Shadowdale (server)' moniker.

I would somehow be on the servers seconds prior to them actually going online to have a small possiblity of getting my names. I know some of you are so deranged, you're traveling to Vegas to setup your comps next to the servers just so you can deny me of my prize.

I see you there Matthew. It's OK, Lisa forgives you, just call her.

INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO READ THIS MIGRATING INSTRUCTIONS THREAD :)

- Read Cordo's answers only to get the info you want, and skip all of our drama, fearmongering and trolling posts (you will miss out some good humor too)
- Use all those hours to play the game instead

You are welcome :)
Friendly reminder :)
