supertimtaf Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 The current character transfer sale will also be ending on 10/24. So you're saying that peoples will have to pay 1k cc now in order to transfer ? That's... very strange, especially just after/before a server merge... Will it get back to 90cc after the merge ?

Jagaimee Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Oof. There's the kick in the pants that I needed to transfer all my characters off Begeren Colony. XD Thanks for the heads-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakhathKilrathi Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Didn't they promise to give us a lot of advance notice before ending the sale? I wouldn't say that three days really qualifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biomild Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) A whole day downtime, in the midst of a holiday week in The Netherlands (Europe). Why not start earlier then 3 am US time? Close their servers at midnight or even earlier for a change. Europe is always out of luck with maintenance, but this time its really bad bad.

morghfellan Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Hi There, about that Character transfer...are we going to need to transfer our characters from the servers on our OWN to the new server? and we going to need to pay for that? it won't be made automatically? Or did I just misunderstood? Edited October 21, 2017 by morghfellan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM_NoVaCaNe Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 You misunderstood. In order for them to merge the servers they have to stop allowing transfers so on the next patch transfers are on hold and the sale goes off. After the servers are merged then sometime in the future after all the bugs are worked out (yea right like that will ever happen) so lemme rephrase, when enough bugs are worked out after the server merge they will bring back the ability to transfer, but their message implies when the ability to transfer returns it will not be 90cc's as it is today. So no you do not have to manually transfer your toons to the new server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
