Thank you for your patience.

Well at the very least this is a date. I can only hope the fix is made and on time, but of the two id prefer fixed over the date. I want it to work.

And this is why EA was awarded the worst company for the second year in a row. Seriously? May 7th?

Looks fine to me and I have all kinds of xfers to complete.

Seriously? No update or time frame, complain. Get update and time frame, complain. What next, complain when it gets fixed? lol

Seriously though, from what I read in the initial post, they're working on some major issues with transfer.

Isn't it great how you all have gotten so use to the poor service from this company that you have become immune to it. The truth is that sometimes things happen in IT and I am fully aware of that in my everyday job; however, this game didn't just come into production. This company isn't new. They have a test system but continue to fail to test things properly before bringing them into production. Transfers are a HUGE portion of this game and a rather nice area that brings the company revenue. It isn't like they failed to test the Begging skill or something that wouldn't effect much of the game play. Their failure has impacted nearly the entire game playing community in one way or another. A portion of the game that we all pay monthly expecting to be able to perform. Additionally, people buy transfer tokens at a not so cheap rate and apparently you think I am out of line for expecting them to work.. LOL

I don't complain because it effects me.. I complain because this should have been tested more accurately before coming into production. I complain because we all pay for this service to be available. And I complain because them taking an estimated 10 days to fix this is extreme to say the least. When something breaks in my line of work we stay at work until it is back up again. You put in the time because the customers pay for the service to be active. We don't pay for Ultima Online... minus transfers.

This is why EA earned 100 percent their second year in a row of being awarded with the WORST company trophy.

Go back and read the post regarding whether players thought it was a good idea to move the transfers warehouse to the cloud when they screwed up moving the servers there SO badly. It was predictable from the get go that they would screw this up because they do NOT do proper testing beforehand. Taking down a paid service for 2 weeks implies a MAJOR issue... one that should have been addressed long before the move to the cloud was done.

Yes, this post regarding the downtime is much better than the last post, in large part because if gives a time frame. Players at least have a sense of when they can expect the service to return. But that does not mean we should just lie down in silence when they constantly screw up the game for their paying customers because they wont/cant do their job right.

The delay might also be caused by someone being on vacation. I think Kyronix mentioned in a post from a week or so ago that he was hoping to get a chance to use a new underwater camera later this month, so that read to me as if he was planning on being on vacation around now.
