#server transfers

Hurray! 

“Alright folks, here are the updates as I mentioned yesterday!

Timing: We are in the final stages of testing and assuming that all goes well, we are going to bring transfers back online on Tuesday with Game Update 5.6.

Pricing: By popular request, we are going to bring transfers back at the pre-United Forces pricing (90 // 150CC) for a limited time. After that time they will go up to their new standard pricing of 1,000CC.

I will let you all know on Monday if we are still on track for transfers to go live again on Tuesday and the exact timing for the sale pricing.

Thanks everyone.

I know that the server transfers are going up in price when they open again, but really looking forward to it anyway. I’ve been spent years building up my legacy on Harbinger Satele Shan and I’d rather transfer a character to Star Forge than spend time re-doing achievements, unlocks, etc. Not to mention I need a bank roller over there. So as soon as that happens, I’ll be on Star Forge. :)

Back in June SSG copped to their head fake and gave everybody remaining on the 32-bit servers 76 days to transfer to the new 64-bit servers before the old worlds went dark. Lord of the Rings Online Being somebody who probably pays too much attention to such things, I got my remaining characters out of the land of 32-bit that very day.  But MMORPGs like LOTRO are full of players who come and stay…

The end of the 32-bit era of Lord of the Rings Online is at hand.  The 32-bit version of the game client was turned off yesterday and the 32-bit servers go offline on Sunday.  Come Monday, September 1, it will all be a memory. Lord of the Rings Online The end of 32-bit was announced back in June and time has since flown.  I swear, I keep thinking it is still July and that we have a month to go on…

Standing Stone’s vague “Reply hazy, ask again later” responses around what will become of the old 32-bit LOTRO game worlds over the last few months have now resolved into “we’re closing them down, get out while you can!”  Thanks SSG!  Glad we can trust you won’t mislead us! Lord of the Rings Online Seriously, as of today the original 64-bit transfer FAQ contains this tasty tidbit of…

Over the last week or so SSG has been unlocking transfers from the “dark” servers, the servers they flagged to bring offline back during the 2015 server consolidation.  That meant that anybody who had left characters behind on those servers would have this one final opportunity to retrieve them before those servers we shelved for good this coming August. Lord of the Rings Online The schedule, as…

Standing Stone Games and their 64-bit Lord of the Rings Online server plan has fallen off the rails more than a few times so far, sending time frame estimates out the door as they reacted to the entirely predictable enthusiasm of players to get onto realms that promised better performance, server lag and related issues being a long time problem with the game. Lord of the Rings Online Entirely…
