Nothing is meant by the troubles with iourpg.com users, it's just the unfortunate fact that Yahoo has not only made life hell for this game, but won't even help us out with the account back ups...something that should be incredibly simple. They have all the passwords stored with hash keys for security, which I understand if they don't want to give the hash key, but simply generate a new one, or offer us the passwords as plaintext so we can auto-register the accounts ourselves...they won't, even with my offers to pay them.
Anyways, all the characters will be available to you. If there's some kind of hiccup or troubles, we'll still be able to fix and link accounts from your old characters.
We are going to try this route to attempt to ensure the best result with the transfer:
1. Public testing where players need to create accounts from scratch to test.
2. Public testing with an older backup inserted into the database, where people can test their characters on the new service and see how it goes, or whether there's anything not being transferred correctly
3. Public official transfer off of Yahoo
It's a process that is obviously taking longer, but without this kind of process we could be looking at week(s) of issues none of us want to encounter lol.

Good for them they don't give the pws or hashkey. Many people use pws same name for multiple things. Hopefully they are salting that hash to boot.
