I guess this means an extension on the character transfer service?
Thanks for the update, Ocho. I'm sure this was a headache for you all to deal with, so thanks for letting us know. Now, for the sake of your sanity and ours, tell them to find some way for our extra slots not to be tied in with the status of the online store! 
Guide: Tanking, Wall of Fire Style (Updated for I19!), and the Four Rules of Tanking
Story Arc: Belated Justice, #88003
Synopsis: Explore the fine line between justice and vengeance as you help a hero of Talos Island bring his friend's murderer to justice.
Grey Pilgrim: Fire/Fire Tanker (50), Victory
I thought transfers were going to be free and unlimited?
I might be missing something but I thought the transfers would be unlimited. It said I had 6 shard transfer tokens (I believe I had a while ago and was saving) and when I transfered one, it counted down to 5.
Did I miss the memo?
Huzzah!! Thanks for the update!!

We'll see if they extend the end of the transfer period a day or two. Probably so, but how many transfers does one person need to do? Even three or four days should be plenty.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
Ty devs!...your work is gladly appreciated.
Prometheus: ... so what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.
Me: From a certain point of view?
Prometheus: You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on your point of view.
Me: You're right about that. Power Blast is very pretty from a certain point of view. But that point of view is not head-on. <Kaboom> - Arcanaville.

when you use them all up they're replenished on some timetable I don't recall offhand.

Could somebody tell the guy on the pipe-organ to lay off?
Quote:
I really don't see why aside from a good faith reason. After all, they said it would go from August 17th thru August 23rd... and today IS August 17th, and you can transfer toons again. So they're in their timeframe.

Yeah, I did a lot of transfers back in the day and couldn't remember if I had prepaid or something. Good info to know! Thanks!

Currently we are limiting server transfers to 6 per day. On Thursday with the Global Maintenance we'll up that limit to 20 per day. This should be more than enough to take care of everyone's server transfer needs.|

Thanks,
I greatly appreciate the efforts to fix this. While I hate to be "That" person, can we maybe get an extension on our free transfer goodies by a day? Yes, I'm rearranging that much over that long a period of time that I am asking for this.
No real worries if you say no. Just, if that's something you're considering, add a tally mark next to it.
Great job, everyone!

So, how do we do the transfers? Is it by clicking the "purchase" option on the character screen when you log in? |

I've read something about tokens.. but don't know where to "see" these.. and I don't want to wrack up CC charges if there is a different way to access them.
Peace

Yes, click on the purchase option on the character screen. You'll have a number of free tokens to use for transfers.

If you are using Latin in your post you are probably trolling

On anything in the in-game store there will be a screen that says "These charges are final, etc, if you push the button" - freebie tokens always show up before that.

Any word on when the ghost characters will finally stop popping back up?
/gignore @username is the best feature of this game. It's also probably the least used feature.

I missed out on completing the second Loyalist Praetorian mission by about 10 seconds before the servers shut down.
Damn hostages and their short little legs.
The server reset forced me to go to bed at 0:15 local time. Given that I was woken up at 6 by wailing baby and had to get up with him the server maintence was a blessing in disguise.
Well I transferred the 3 I wanted to transfer last night. Thanks NCNC!
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
When will my deleted toons actually be deleted and my transferred toons actually be transferred and my redeemed slots actually be redeemable? I'd like to make new toons on my home server. Thanks. :/
