Thread: Test Transfers for Unity

    Default Test Transfers for Unity

    Stoic Players of Unity,

    We're looking for a five brave souls to help with the testing of moving characters from the Unity shard to a new home on Order or Chaos. Our plan for this service is to move all characters from a previous Unity account to either the Order or Chaos shards (you pick what character goes to what shard). If you would like to help with testing, read on:

    Things You Need to Know

    1) We will not delete your Unity character - ever. We have backups of backups.
    2) When we move your characters over, we need you to check those characters out carefully - as best as you remember. There are subtle differences between Unity and Order/Chaos and we need to make sure we've covered all cases. This means you need to be prepared to play them, often, over the next few days. This also means that you will need to communicate back and forth with us on what is happening with your character.
    3) If we find a problem with your character after it has been moved over to Order or Chaos, we will fix the problem on Unity, then re-move your character over. This means that if you've been playing with your character for a few days on Order/Chaos, any experience / items gained will be reset.
    4) We've tried to automate this process as much as possible, but there are still manual steps because of the differences between Unity and Chaos.

    Requirements
    1) Active Horizons account. You can't test if you don't have an active account. That account must have enough open character slots to allow for the transfer of characters.

    2) Active, valid email account that you use often because we will need to be able to communicate back and forth with you. Be prepared, as well, for times when your character is unavailable because it is being moved.

    3) Understand that testing is about finding issues. If your first reaction to a problem is to flip out (or if you visit this site daily http://www.realultimatepower.net/ ) then don't apply.

    4) Want to see Unity characters find a new home.

    If you would like to help, here's what you need to do.

    1) Send an email to: [email protected]
    2) List your Unity user name / email
    3) List your current active North America user name / email (this should be the email account that we will communicate with you at)
    4) List all the characters (that you remember) on your account in priority order (they will be moved over gradually)
    5) We're going to take the first 5 applicants and then close the testing group.

    We will let the public know when we have those 5 applicants.

    Not to be picky, but are you looking for 'Five brave souls' or 'a few brave souls'?

    NM, answered by last line of your post.

    I think the first 5 who answer to the other requirements.

    I know I'm not going to get an answer to this one, but I have to ask:

    Assuming all goes well with the testing, how soon can we expect transfers to begin?

    Also, do we need an account to transfer to, or can we create one as part of the transfer process. Another also, could the same character be transferred to both shards? I wouldn't do that myself, but for people who want to roleplay some days and not others, it might be a useful feature.

    Good luck with the testing, those who got chosen.

    I hope they also manage to bring across the history of the Unity-characters. It won't be real nice to have a character that has been played for years, now showing 'existance: 2 days' or something like that. Great to see that things are finaly happening though!

    So is testing all done and dusted and the real transfers just around the corner? Amarië AncalÃ**mon said that the testing had finished if you read the post she did before locking the thread. I'm sure you all know which thread I'm referring too, if not the one titled "Unity Transfers Tests, checks and balances" So dev team when can we start sending in those transfer requests ?

    No, she said she wanted to wait with locking until the testing was done, but didn't see any point in doing so. Testing ain't over yet.
    You're looking at now. Everything that happens now is happening now.

    Ah well another two or three weeks to wait then since I'm assuming transfers only take place on Tuesday when the maintenance is done. I guess the transfer test will be to the other server this Tuesday. Tuesday after that may be used to try out the fixes on the transfer if any so maybe we're looking at the Tuesday after that.

    Transfers aren't necessarily restricted to maintenance time. They might choose to only do them then, I have no idea what their plans are for that.

    I'm going wait until the dev team give the nod before requesting transfer instead of sending in the transfer request using that e-mail address they gave out to find 5 people in fear it fumbles up the process for my transfer.

    Remember I personally got that email because I emailed them using the transfers@something or other .com email address. It could be an autoreply. If you haven't sent something, that might be why you haven't had something back.

    ah, that would probably explain it

    I'll wait for official notification of the transfer service
