It's been about a week since European players of Lord of the Rings Online began the migration over to Turbine's servers, and the transition has not been nearly as smooth as one could hope. That having been said, the team is working diligently behind the scenes to try to address the issues many players are experiencing, with community manager Sapience making a post today outlining the two major fixes coming up to try to alleviate the issues.

The first fix will be a simple patch to the migration tool itself, which is expected to be live on Friday or shortly thereafter. The other fix will require some server downtime as the team works at fixing some database issues. Sapience also explains that Codemasters had previously flagged some accounts incorrectly with the database migration, and he promises that the players missing VIP time will be addressed sometime next week. While it won't remove the Lord of the Rings Online migration issues, it's at least a step in the right direction.

I'm happy to report that I'm one of the exceptions; I migrated six accounts on the spot, without any problems. But yes, it has been a bit of a bumpy ride for some.

Although I had an error at the end of the migration, everything seems fine on my side...

Oops.

I had some problems initially with running the launcher but it seemed to be an ISP issue with Virgin Media and was resolved. Other than that my two accounts seem to have been migrated ok except for the missing friends lists.
