Migrate your account from Codemasters to Turbine
As announced before, Turbine has taken over the European LOTRO service from Codemasters starting June 1st, 2011. All servers have been transferred to the Turbine serverpark in Boston and are up and running. Nothing has been chaged to your toons, items and social structures (kinships etc). All EU-players need to transfer their accounts from Codemasters to Turbine. Although the transition period is whispered to be "a few months" it is advised to transfer your accounts asap.
How to migrate?
-Go to https://transfer.lotro.com and follow instructions (you don't have to enter payment/credit card details in the third step to complete)
-Update your LOTRO game client (you will only need one client if you also have a US F2P account)
-You will receive 2 emails from Turbine: one that your migration has started (also contains your LOTRO Store balance, and a second one if the full transfer (including store points) has completed. You can play after you received the first mail.
Known issues / tips:
- It will take 4-48 hours before your Store Points are added to your account
- Your friends list will be empty after migration (Turbine is investigating this)
- MyLOTRO and any character related services on lotro.com will be unavailable for the first weeks, until they confimed stability.
- All VIP subscriptions have been extended by 14 days to make sure players with current subs don't get into trouble during transition
- If you don't own a credit card, you can buy a 60-day game card code here with PayPal or Click&Buy. Turbine will presumably add these payment methods for subscriptions soon.
