[Resolved] Temporary Issue with New Characters

Hey Everyone,
In yesterday's patch, an unexpected bug caused a small number of new characters to be created on the wrong shard, preventing those characters from being able to see or play with other players on the Dragon shard.
The issue is now resolved for all characters going forward. To fix the characters that were created on the incorrect shard, we are in the process of designing a script that will move them over to Dragon ASAP. Since the issue only affected new characters, some players who have a character on the incorrect shard may elect to resolve their issue more quickly by re-creating their character. We hope to have an update on the progress of the script this next week, and are committed to addressing the issue as quickly as possible.
To see which shard your character is on, navigate to the Character Selection screen. Next to each character will be a shard name. If the shard is “Dragon,” then your character is on the correct shard. If it says “Dungeon,” then your character is on the incorrect shard and will be moved over shortly.
Thank you very much for your patience while we work out this issue.

•There are no longer shard selection references on character select now that the shards have merged.
I can only imagine that its where the foundry characters are made
Yea, it was quite nice*. My char is 60 now and every area I cleared there was not another single player in sight. Won every collect this/kill that competition (where you win enchantments), didn't have to wait for mobs to respawn to complete quests, etc etc etc. but the novelty has worn off now, so ... chop chop please, Cryptic.
If it's such a small amount of players (between 50 and 100 by my reckoning) then why not just do it manually?
(*PE still ran like HAMSTER tho ... probably because of all those useless npcs they shoved in to make it look busier than it actually is.)
Fixed after todays maintenance. Cheers. :cool:
