For those who do not frequently read the Avlis boards I am posting this for your review.Darkfire wrote:After discussing this with a few people, I think I need to mention a few things. (quick note: check the first post to see the proper way to go about a request.)
You are not placing some horrendous burden upon us by requesting a transfer. Do not be afraid to use this and request a transfer if you need one. Multiple transfers are allowed for the same character or the same person - as long as it is kept reasonable. If you "just want to go Off-World" that is an acceptable reason, just as long as you stay there for a little while. If you have planned events that are expecting your attendance, then be there.
I am really disappointed in the fact that some people are thinking this is an attempt to cut Avlis from the rest of CoPaP. This is a temporary issue that will be fixed: http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=174&t=53473 Please leave your nay-saying at the door. That's the last I want to hear of it.
I'll say it once again, requesting a manual transfer is not a bad thing. If you miss an event, that is your fault. Thank you for the consideration, and to those who choose not because they are still not wanting to be a burden... thank you, it is unnecessary, but still thanks. To those who miss an event and then complain about it, or just complain about not being able to go to different worlds... it falls on deaf ears from now on.
This can be abused - those who abuse it will be denied in their transfer request. However, using it as it is intended is encouraged.
They are actively working the issue and hope to complete it as soon as possible. This delay is in part due to Linux being different than Windows when it comes to portals. Terry kindly offered his assistance in the configuration as well. They really did not have any choice as to the timing of the move either due to RL impacts that I will not go into.
So please give them the time and courtesy they deserve as they have to get it right. Just be patient and the time will come that everything works like it used to, if not better.
