Can someone explain... the selected destination shard is unavailable

[Ruppy2]

Tried using a transfer token and getting this "the selected destination shard is unavailable."

I'm seeingly fully patched and up to date.

Anyone know why?

Thank you in advance for thoughts, unless your name is Fabio, whereupon I know you are trying to block my recall spot anyways.

Are all of the following true:

You have an empty slot on the shard you are transferring to
The shard you are transferring to is not Siege/Mugen
You are in a safe log out location
You are not mounted

 

[Ruppy2]

Yes.... all true statements.

Curious.. I am sad to say, I cannot assist Best I can do is say ticket it in game or call Broadsword.

Sorry.

I can add that I am not carrying, nor do I have anything in my bank, that is shard bound. Additionally, I am not in necro/vamp form.

Yes.... all true statements.

Is the shard you are going to on the same day as the shard you are xfering from?

 

[Ruppy2]

No, it is about 12 hours 'ahead.' I can log into the destination shard right now though... I just cannot bring in a new toon. Thank you for your question and possible thoughts this gives.

Usually that happens a few days before, and a few days after a major publish is released. If the shard you're trying to transfer to is an Asian one they might still be receiving the latest patch there. If that is the case it should be fixed within a few days at the most.

Whenever this happens to me it's because I have a stupid bank check buried in a bag of junk somewhere.

Royal pain to track down amount 700+ items

That also happend if the warehouse is down for maintance or out of sync.

Usually with items like this, checks and the fireworks banner, etc, . Might try it one more time and watch the messages really close

Or else you destination still hasn't been published up to date, like was said before

 

[Lorddog]

too bad the message cant be slightly more specific on the reason.

I had the same issue (and same message) happen going from Baja to Pac early this morning before either had gone down for maintenance. Once both shards had gone down and come back up, I was able to transfer just fine. I think Baja (since it's a test shard) may have had some small unnoticeable updates and I needed Pac to catch up before I could transfer.

I received an email from Broadsword today that yes, as @Captn Norrington stated, US Servers and other servers can be 'out of sync' (my word choice) and the email to me today stated:
"Please try your Shard Transfer again after the next servermaintenance-cycle.

I hope this answers your question. If not, please page again.

Thank you for playing Ultima Online!"

Glad to see they answered and you got it worked out.
