Transfer Guidance for our upcoming 64-bit server transfers

This is likely true as far as desires go, but they're probably smart enough to realize that it's better to have people leaving Cormyr via transfer than punting the game.
Just recently came back to ddo after 5 years.
Have 10 alts stuck on Sarlona because they were flagged for reincarnation and cant reincarnate there anymore. So cant transfer them since they flagged for reincarnation.
Put in ticket almost 2 weeks ago but nothing from them about it.
Is this talked about anywhere about a fix for this or workaround?

That's unusual, I know it was possible to Reincarnate at one point on the old servers if you were flagged to do so else you would be locked out from transferring, could it just be something (a setting) that they forgot to enable I wonder?

They turned off character creation with https://www.ddo.com/update-notes/ddo-update-77-2-release-notes which prevents someone from finishing the reincarnation process.

Ahhh, that makes sense, but would still lock out characters stuck there who were in the middle of a Reincarnation when they left and now returned. Interesting. I wonder if the transfer would work for them mid Reincarnation that is incomplete?

Pretty sure you can't pack while mid reincarnation process (to prevent someone from nuking their packed data by mistake). So anyone who was in the process is trapped right now and SSG support will have to help them.
Correct cant pack, even if you didnt start reincarnation because they already flagged for it.
And cant reincarnate because when i try to complete that, it says no new characters can be created so cant finish it.
Sent a message to Cordovan since i read to let him know, and he said he passed it along to whomever working on it. So i'll see what happens.

So it's not all bad news, if you had already (re)created your character in the Reincarnation process, you will reach the Bridge Between Worlds and be able to level up as normal that way (even if you never loaded back in after the Character Creation was disabled). That's no problem there.
But needing to select a character race, class, stats, etc that section is prevented. So those that had started but didn't get past the initial Reincarnation character creation phase is definitely stuck. But anyone who had Reincarnated and completed that part (but still Level nothing on the character selection screen) will be able to level up and than /transfer pack without issues in Lordsmarch.

Yes, I had one such character that was there left for testing, I didn't think this was the test it was going to be doing, but here we are.

At this point I’m starting to think the transfer UI is trying to tell us something, because it’s gone from the old 32‑bit museum display to the lonely Wayfinder test world, to absolutely nothing at all, and now back to its current disguise, multiple times over the past few weeks. Which is either... backend repointing (prep) or the system giving up entirely.
Add in the fact that the anniversary event is running smoother than it has any right to, (props to SSG), and the above looks like the "prep" we saw back in 2025.
So, in the spirit of responsible speculation, I'll (step out on the branch) predict that 64→64 transfers are... 2-3 weeks out, after the first clean Sterling reset.
If I’m wrong, consider this a performance piece about hope.

Considering they have to figure out how to 'unplug' the pack/unpack process for 64-64 transfers and still keep that function for remaining 32-64 tranfers...
I doubt it'll be anywhere in 2026.

thank SSG for have fix this :
Update 79 Release Notes
32-bit Worlds:
- Characters on the 32-bit game worlds who are in a "Reincarnate" state can now enter their 32-bit game world in order to reincarnate. Once reincarnated, these characters can now Pack and transfer. Read more about transfers from our 32-bit game worlds on DDO.com.
Yea, this is starting to get annoying. A lot of us put toons on each of the servers to try them out and decide which one felt like home. We did this expecting that the Devs would keep their word and open transfers. Paid transfers are now available, so it doesn't seem there's an issue with moving toons. Is this just another bait-n-switch greedy move from SSG?

No they're not; there's no 64-to-64 transfers at all. The only transfers that have been available for ages is the free 32-to-64 transfers.
Not sure on where they are on stuck transfers, those will need to be completed first. I still have a missing items ticket open from July so I suspect they still have transfer issues to address.

I have a simplistic approach to life; I ask myself how difficult can it possibly be to enable 64 bit server character transfer to another 64 bit server? I see no reason except MAYBE if SSG have literally nobody with IT skills. Hand on my heart, I would prefer to see SSG fix all the existing bugs in the Heroic and Epic trees first, de-nerf casters, and then enable the character transfers between 64 bit worlds last, after of course they engage with their community and communicate their plans; yeah, right.

Kobolds don't matter. *Except in Crystal Cove.
Some people just like to stir the pot.
After decades of IT work I know better than to assume how simple it would be to resolve an issue with no knowledge of the underlying code that supports the function.
