You know if they are going to open the new worlds tomorrow like planned. Toss us all a Valar there so we can at least play something beside starting from the beginning all over. Maybe a box where you pick the type you want so you can play in that area. At least we can enjoy something there while they fix these issues and get our transfers done.
i wonder if they can do something were they can allow us to reach the exact level we had and make our own copy of what we had and have them send us the items we obtained so we can startt without transfer and not go from the start.

Part of the service they are now offering is these new servers which our money goes towards. We were promised something and 5 days later we still dont have what we were promised. Time to ignore i will not go back and forth with shills and brown nosers

"new member 2 messages' nice ...come from discord have you?

Play on the old servers a bit longer. Your progress will not be wasted - you will have it when you transfer over finally.

LATEST on Character Transfer Timing:

We have temporarily disabled character transfers while we work to optimize our transfer process. We will open our new 64-bit worlds on Friday, March 7th at 1:00 PM Eastern (-5 GMT) with purchasing of classic and premium housing disabled. This will allow players to continue name reservations and play on transferred or newly-created characters while transfers continue. We expect character transfers to resume on Friday, and we will have more information on timing in the morning hours Eastern time.
Sorry but it is a bad joke. I have never been able to transfer my characters. I have never seen the infamous "transfer" button. And now it is suspended for the third day in a row...Not impressed at all.

Warner Brothers sold off the MMO side of Turbine but kept Turbine for using with their live service crap they stuck in all their games. Seeing how bad WB games is going right now, we should all thank our stars that they aren't still there. RIP monolith.
I thanked my lucky stars the minute SSG announced that they were taking LOTRO back from WB. Truly was close to quitting because WB was on the warpath to ruin the very heart of this game.

Been here since FFA. Always loved and respected Turbine staff (some number of whom became SSG) and how they treated their customers. The biggest promise kept was that they promised us Lifetime Founders that no matter what happened we would always be VIPs. They have continually been true to that promise, even when they could have abandoned us. And because of that my family and kin have stuck with this game through thick and thin, and dropped loads of cash into it to help, in some small way, to keep it running. This is a "thin" time, and as others have stated, we will weather this storm and laugh (or cry) about it well into the future. That doesn't help right now, but I trust that the solution will be found and all will be well again .. eventually. We, and they, will be bruised but not broken.

As for WB, I will never play any game that they have a hand in. Once burned, twice careful, as the saying goes.

So that means people who were lucky enough to catch a moment with the transfer button available will be able to create new characters and get names of characters that are still in limbo / that were supposed to be transfered right away but the players weren't able to get them into the process, correct?

Greetings. I apologize, but we aren't going to open transfer tonight, but instead aim for tomorrow morning as soon as we can. It won't be as early - we will give a better time when we can. The new servers will open tomorrow as planned so the people who have successfully tranferred will have a place to play and so people can log on and make characters to reserve names. In the future we also plan to have some way to rename Kinships so people who end up with "Cool Kinship-01" can make better choices, but that is something we need to work on longer term.

Tomorrow it seems

These types of post should be considered a violation of community rules.
Fun fact, i called a similar (imo way worse than the one you quoted) toxic and tore it's points apart...
They deleted my reply and let the 'triggering' post online and ignored me after asking why they did it like this.
So these kind of posts are well within their community rules i guess.
