Ouch. Not only is Meneldor closing down, but it will be the last server to get to choose a new destination. I was hoping to transfer my iconic-to-this-game characters to Landroval, but like that won’t be full by the time Meneldor gets to make a move.
Poor babies, they lose their names, almost certainly, and they end up in bozo heaven. You wouldn’t think I’d care, having not played in awhile. My characters are like my babies, though, and I always want the best for them.
At least the Gladden Girls are safe.

As of today the following worlds are no longer allowing character creation and will be closed to play at the beginning of 2016. Characters on all of these worlds will be saved and will be available to transfer to a remaining world for free, indefinitely.
We will begin the transfer process by opening the test world, Bullroarer, for character copy. We will then open transfers between the 10 remaining worlds. Then the worlds that are closing will be opened for transfer, a few at a time, in the order they are listed below. Please watch the website, forums, and launcher for announcements regarding timing. *Note: Brandywine will be unavailable for incoming transfers for a time until population and load can be re-evaluated on new hardware.*
