Trying to transfer some toons, but I'm getting an error message saying that it could not connect to the Billing Server. Is that happening to anyone else?

It may be a glitch that appeared after they turned off the free transfers on Monday, or maybe the billing server is down for maintenance.

I still know plenty of people who have yet to even BUY GR, wouldn't it make more sense to have it on... you know, longer? Hm.

I'm sorry to say they are over.

I made over 50 transfers getting my characters in order on all the servers.

I'm only guessing at this, but they may have kept it short because of the whining they got after the last one. Even tho they extended the time it was active ungrateful people were still kvetching when it finally ended.

Honestly I didn't even know what the dates were, apparently. I guess it's a good thing I didn't try moving anyone recently then. :/

Well for next time they do it, they put a counter on the bottom of the screen where you choose the destination server which tells you how many free transfers you have left. If you don't see the counter the feature isn't on and you can back out without getting charged anything.

Really am sorry you missed out on it Zek.
