Prob close to 300 transfers and I've had exactly 2 characters go missing.
Once was my fault for not realizing the time & started the xfer abt 15 mins before the server dropped.
Paged a GM and my character was fully restored, items and all, in 2-3 days.
2nd time was when the shard I was transferring to had an unscheduled revert. Char went *POOF*.
Paged a GM and this time it took about 4-5 days for him to show up in my list.
That
"Please page using the native language of this shard so we may respond and help you efficiently" message just sucks.
Been there, done that... for literally +3 yrs paging every couple months hoping for someone to eventually help. GMs never did....
Finally went to a Meet & Greet on Asuka where Mesanna showed up & managed to get like 60 seconds of her attention to ask for help.
After she was done, she recalled to my house and fixed my problem in like 20 seconds. Don't care what anyone says... I love that woman
