I wouldn't be surprised if they only had one or two people capable of working on it and they were already tied up making this first server. Plus they've indicated that they were surprised the new server tech worked as well as it did and if I had to keep guessing they likely weren't preparing to start right away because as Tolero stated they were expecting to have to take months rather than just weeks.

Ouch.
So the "years" I randomly put out there seems more and more likely. Nasty. Meaning we'll have to live with nasty lag for that time and a further split player base.
Yeah, ouch.

it should appear when it's open after maintenance this morning

it should be. This & the 64 bit servers it's needed for are already a ~decade overdue

I, for one, am excited to see this launch!
It is a step in the right direction, as many have said.
May the launch go well today! I won't be able to get on and make my toon until tonight.
I hope it goes smoothly so that we get the dev team all the data they need to be able to implement the 64-bit servers in a reasonable time (hopefully by this time next year - finger crossed)!
I would expect that once Cormyr is chugging along they'll then get to start working on the headache that will be untangling tranfer craziness.
My only question is: If we assume that the Q3 Adventure Pack listed on the 2024 Roadmap is this Lantern Event. What is the Q4 Adventure Pack and when will we see it?
For reference, here is a link to the roadmap. 2024 Roadmap

An event is not a pack though. The Q3 pack is late and may never arrive I guess due to _issues_. Hopefully a Dev or Cordovan will let us know which is it. But an event cannot be called a pack.

Once the server is up (today at 1pm est) you will see Cormyr in your launcher. Keep in mind you have to be VIP to access it..

From my tests of the beta they seemed to slighty, but I did not do a deep dive during the beta previews..

An Event can be a Pack. That was what the Illithid Invasion was. Both an Event and A Pack. Also, early this year Tolero said on a friday at four that they had something similar planned for one of the packs this year. And we have heard from another friday at 4 that said event transformed into the Lantern Event.
Hmm, not that it is an official source but according the wiki an Adventure Pack is a "collection of quests ..." which fits perfectly with my understanding. So, in my book something can only be an Adventure Pack if it has new quests.
The invasion had new quests so thats good - so that begs the question if the tiny pre-quest in the Lantern event qualifies it to be called an Adventure Pack or not
I suppose one could technically make such a claim but I would certainly feel cheated if "Adventure Packs" only had one tiny quest. If I somehow overlooked that the Lantern Event also has 4 full quests I obviously stand corrected.

You can loosely call this "float". It all comes down to what happens when the server is opened and the issues that develop. You don't make detailed plans on every "what if" before it happens. Once the environment is stable then they can work on "what needs to change for transfers", that way they aren't going back and forth with numerous fixes.

While I also wish for more quests and thus more Adventure Packs as we have had in the past. It is not unusual for the plan put forth in the Roadmap to change as we progress throughout the year.Hmm, not that it is an official source but according the wiki an Adventure Pack is a "collection of quests ..." which fits perfectly with my understanding.

No where on the Roadmap did we have 64-bit server setup and testing. Yet here we are, anxiously looking forward to any information about when the next set of Servers will be ready.
Suffice to say, take everything with a grain of salt and hope for the best. We'll all be better off in the long run.

I'm not sure there will ever be transfers. We shall see in the coming years. I think they may discover it's a bridge to far. My understanding is that they have said no transfers over on LOTR. Can anyone confirm or debunk that understanding? Thanks.

The LotRO servers by design are no transfers. They are called Legacy servers and are meant for people to relive the leveling process from the start.
I understand why and accept it. But I want them to admit not delevering the Adventure Pack as per the plan. Otherwise its too easy not to deliver next time either.

Further splitting the playerbase for too long, while long time players are stuck on old servers, is not a Good Thing (TM). So while I understand it needs to happen in steps, the end goal should be coming as soon as humanly possible. Please.
