FAQ sur le processus de migration

Unless there is a dramatic shft in priorities between now and then, the patch will be after we have completed the EU transition and confirmed all servers are fuctioning as expected. So you are looking at 2 weeks as a realistic minimum.

Just dropping in after the meeting to give you some info. This is really broad, but you'll get the general idea.

For starters, the migration process is incredibly simple and straight forward. If you have the EU client installed, it will direct you to the migration site and you can walk through the process. If you don't have an EU client installed, it's still very simple. You'll be given a URL and everything you need will be presented to you then.

Important points:

Once you create your new Turbine account, it will be immediately available. Your characters and servers may take a little more time to associate with your new account ( I don't have an exact estimate but will keep you posted), but you will be able to patch your client, log into the official forums, and perform other account based functions (like setting up payment options) almost immediately.
You should be able to view your time remaining (if you are on a sub) and points during the process.
Your order and store history will not carry over. If you want to keep track of your in game store purchases, I'd suggest taking a screen shot of it before the Codemasters service closes.
Everything will be exactly as you left it when you log back in to your characters. Kinships, housing, items, etc will be right where you left them.
Due to a quirk with how tokens were used on the Turbine and Codemasters services some special items (pre-order items) will not be available to newly created characters. They'll still exist on your current characters, but not on new ones. This is temporary. Myself and the entire Turbine Community Team has impressed upon everyone here that this is very important and needs to be resolved as soon as possible after the migration is complete and the servers are confirmed to be stable.
My.lotro.com data and the lottery will be unavailable for a couple of weeks while we confirm server stability. After that we'll add all the former EU servers to the service and you should have full access to everything.

That's the quick view of where we are right now.

The LOTRO Game Servers will be brought down on Friday, May 27 from 6:00AM - 10:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) for a hotfix to address an issue preventing some players from logging into the game. Updated EULA and TOS files will also be installed in preparation for the EU migration. No other changes are being made to the game.
