I'm not talking about those who had errors or issues with transferring, I'm talking about those who have their main just sitting on a dead/closed server for an undisclosed amount of time - it could be days, weeks, months - no time frame of a goal.
I get that errors occur, it really sucks for those who have had issues, support is swamped, but what executive thought it was a good idea to force the only way to initiate a xfer (even if you're willing to pay) to require logging into the server - especially when you knew it would be closed.
I had the unfortunate luck of returning - attempting to return - the day after servers closed down. I personally was completely unaware of a 32-64 bit conversion. While that is very exciting at what opportunities that brings for us DDO fans, but shutting down the old servers before being within a confident enough time frame to provide a "ball park" goal of when they would be open, is not a good decision.
I have a long history of taking months to a year break after enjoying months of new content that I've let build up, and I have a long history of letting my subscription continue despite not playing as a way of supporting ddo - its a dinosaur but it is a great game for what it is. However, I am very grateful that I am not currently a paying subscriber as I would be paying for a service that by design, I am not really able to play for an undisclosed amount of time, because I wasn't around for a "timed-window" for xfering off a server.
Can we get a ball park estimate please? Something in the form of - days, weeks, months? I don't know about others, but starting a new character is not an option for me. 75+ past lives is not really an investment you want to start over - let alone my stuff/store purchases.
