Transfer Guidance for our upcoming 64-bit server transfers

That one is already a no

Why not simply allow a limited number of standard free character transfers between Cormyr and Moonsea per week and per account if the /transfer pack system risks impacting both server performances?
The waiting is frustrating, and the total lack of vision due to SSG's zero communication policy (on this issue) is so not helping.

I believe the issue is they don't want or can't have, pack and unpack available on a server at the same time.

Understood. But surely SSG could implement 2 weeks of 32 bit server transfers to 64 ones, then toggle to Cormyr to other 64 bit servers the following 2 weeks, rinse and repeat. It's not rocket science.

Hopefully, when they enable 64 to 64 transfers, they find a way to NOT have the shared bank items transfer with them. I just want to transfer some characters like the old transfer system.
As of the last discussion on Fridays at Four that will not happen. The intent for the 64 to 64 free transfers is for characters that ended up on the wrong server for one reason or another.

One of the biggest drawbacks on the Old Servers was the fact that you could not transfer guilds. (When my old Guild Master left for better raiding he left his main guild and bank guilds in my hands and i have expanded on them.) For this reason they developed the "Packing/Unpacking" system technology. It is an assumption on my part but since they already have that level of programing then with a little more effort they could make a 2 tiered (or more) system of transfers where you could:
1. (Old Style) Transfer a single toon with it's individual bank
2. (New Style) Transfer a toon with Guild and full shared bank
3. (Other) what ever else they decide.
They would be able to charge what they want for the different levels of transfers.

What if you have multiple characters and you accidentally moved only one character to a wrong server, you would want to transfer just that character instead of all other stuff.
There should be both types of transfers available to cover all people's problems.

Oh, I'm not looking for FREE transfers. I just want the old way so I can go from 64 to 64 without having to put 500+ items on toons to clear my saved banks.
That's the issue, and I agree. I do want to move the excess AS I purchased for the Mist event to my main server but on the other hand I would like to distribute my duplicate pet certificates, mount certificates, and cosmetics from my main to the other servers. I would prefer both options but that doesn't appear to be an option.
Thanks for the update! Glad to hear the 64-bit worlds and transfers are getting close. The note about clearing the Reincarnation Cache before packing is super helpful — didn’t know that would block it.
Appreciate you keeping us in the loop, just hoping we get clear timing soon so we can plan transfers properly. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly!

Simple reminder that some of us European players are waiting for some news when we can expect to be able to transfer our toons from Cormyr to Moonsea. Another week passes and SSG maintain their silence while not addressing any balancing issues concerning casters.
BUMP.
BUMP.

I can do things others can't...
Should be still on the radar, but if I were to guess, given the time frame we have available, I would imagine we won't see such a transfer availability until Jan or Feb at the earliest.
This is because historitcally, SSG wants someone at the office when something that can go catastrophically wrong is made available/relesed. Given the next few dates are all holidays and some are extended away times too (Dec/Jan) that would suggest that Nov, Dec and Jan won't be the primary target of making this possible. So the next likely available spot would be Feb or Mar.
But as Mar also borders close to 20 years DDO Anniversary, there's likely other stuff that might be happening, so if it doesn't happen for Jan/Feb, it could still be some 6 months away. Not ideal, so if I were to bet, it'd be Jan/Feb we see this (and in theory should be the first one to happen out of the 64bit to 64bit transfers)

There should be, as 'character transfers' were promised, not 'account transfers'.

Just wondering, did anyone else experience the airship coupons (i.e. AIRSHIPRING2 ) not working on secondary accounts? Meaning I have one complete set of airship pretties on one server, but now all 4 of my dual-box accounts on all 3 other servers claim the coupons were used.
I suppose I should be happy that I didn't experience the living heck of character transfer failure others did.

couldn't they add a temporary shipping bank data bank like access to the tr bank? for transfer of shared banks. account wide this way you could move the items out of the shipping bank to any mule or characters shared or character bank on your account without the need for double banking and lack of access to shared bank space until it was lowered to the available slots in reaility they could use the old 32 bit servers to service the data bank for this new temporary account shipping bank with an expiration of time and loss of items if not removed within 30day from transfer date and time. i mean ya the potential of for the need for the data base access of it could run on with procrastinators or even until the end of life for the 32 servers.
