Have you ever call a help desk? I will say this in the kindest way possible... They don't always have the answers.

He wouldn't mind making a new account but I twinked the shit out of his character and we need the gear back.

You will manage to get logged into the account to get the gear off.

I certainly, absolutely, understand your frustration and even anger. It's very important to keep in mind, when you are enjoying the game it is in thanks to someone using their free time to offer you this opportunity.

The problem popped up again today. I copied my back up folder over everything in my install folder, then copied all of my .ini files over. Restarted the launcher and logged right in without issue.

Issue again today, copied everything from the backup folder, but it didn't work this time for some reason [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

TO ANY CSR/GM - Is there anyway i can have my characters transferred to my other LS account? Since i haven't had the issue on that account.

This is not completely accurate. I don't think Sirken did anything to actually remove you from the game. Enough time had passed between your original petition and his response that your account unlocked.

There is still nothing we can do about it from a CSR standpoint. Sorry, guys!

Is this really the case? It sounds like the CSR team just refuses to transfer chars to other accounts. In which would fix the problem yes?

I wouldn't say it "fixes the problem."

More like a band-aid that continues to halt new players with the same problem from playing the server.

How many people are unable to play an account because of this bug? I believe it is holding the population back

I don't even know if this is an option for them.

Our "account" is tied to EQ EMU also.

In fact, I think P99 blames EQ EMU and vice-versa. (In my experience, very common among the IT peoples p~)

I dont think they can do this, but I don't know.

I know its frustrating to dedicate a bunch of time to a character only to find out you can't play them anymore. I'd highly recommend transferring the gear (you can find trustworthy escrow services in the EC tunnel to help with xfer) onto a new character on a brand new account. Shitty, i know, but worth it to be able to keep playing.

I have one account that has constant issues, and about 10 others that do not. If transferring to a new account fixes the problem I think it should be available in such situations.

Again, like i said, I dont even know if they can.

The problem (as i understand it) is P99 is not like Sony Online Entertainment (ie, the account and characters and server are not all one entity). Like lyra said, gm's say its EqEmu's deal, while eqemu says its gm's deal.

I'm not sure if character transfers are ever going to happen. I can't even remember if they happened on live ( they may have, i just dont remember)
