A question to the dev team about Unity transfer window.

[Sigi]

Not saying anything can backfire too...
I think it would be far more (re-)assuring towards the people begging for news to let them know what is happening...(not necessarily in great detail, but in general..) than leaving them guessing, waiting without saying a word.
It is all taking a very long time.... and a lot of time between tiny scraps of "news".
Patience is running out and is (very) low (at least mine is). Don't know how much longer I am going to wait before I move on......

I don't get this, they just put the unity transfer message up

made a lovely story around it - although that I can't find anymore, where did it go?

So I really think the " It is all taking a very long time.... and a lot of time between tiny scraps of "news"."
is a bit weird now things are speeding up.

Sigi fantastic find... we're gonna live again!

Could be all the devs who actually know anything about the transfer are too busy working away; after all as you say this is going pretty fast the last couple of days. I don't receive emails for my old Unity account but it may say something in the email there? Or perhaps they're waiting to see how many transfer in the first place and then if there's only, say 5% of the accounts that don't reply they'll say it's a one-off thing, or if a higher proportion don't apply then they'll leave it open, who knows.

Could be that they're scared to say either way in case of putting people off (such as Greenclaw not wanting to come back right now, or by saying he can... then when he does attempt to in 6 months, finding it isn't possible).

News is always nice, but I'm used to other MMO (well game companies in general) not actually saying anything unless it's in a proper interview or patch notes. The only other forums I've ever known devs to grace with their presence are the Lionhead forums and the Sacred forums. So even just the Dev Diary each month seems a lot of news to me.

I sure would like to know the answer to this question too.
The answer to this question will be one of the deciding factors for me on if and when I come back to HZ.
Considering that I am no longer visiting this forum daily (close to just once a month these days) there is a hypothetical chance that I can miss any hypothetical deadline.
Hence my desire to know.
