So successful that servers must go
2009-10-10
I just got an e-mail from SOE, saying that their Free Character Transfer service has been 'so successful' that they're shutting down 12 servers, and they've extended the window to transfer my characters, for free, to one of the other 13.
It had a good run and now it's winding up. That's fine, nothing lasts forever. Sony have since moved on to... Well, they closed MxO, and Free Realms is a bit of a disappointment... But EQII still lumbers on, so I'm sure they're keeping busy.
But don't try telling me that the free character transfer (also known as 'get to the lifeboats, the rats already left') is somehow an amazing success. The servers were going to go anyway, whether or not people got their characters off in time.
That will be all. As a public service, I will avoid mentioning the NGE.
