I tried to transfer my account, and it said it went though, but now when I start the game, it had me create a new family name, which implies my character is gone. I'm at wit's end. I'm upset and crying. I paid for this game, and now I can't play. I tried everything. My character's name is Aran86 (she was a level 57 ranger)

I've tried looking at the support section but there's nothing of help there either, sorry but this is driving me crazy.
Is my character transfer just taking a long time? I heard things were busy. Just, please, let me play again.

@Aran86 I opened a topic about the SAME issue about 2 days ago and it is still going. Founda few more people having the exact problem.  Like you, I wrote to support, got back a copy-paste reply, but I still sent something back.

Hate to be all doom and gloom, but aside from the fact that CS is probably filled with tickets, I am not sure they'd care much for a few players losing their characters (I know it sounds rude - but I am just never that hopeful when it comes to writing tickets and customer support actually CARING). If I am wrong, I'll take all of this back...

You could also try the official BDO discord - https://discord.gg/blackdesertonline and ask the GM's directly.

@Arialia I know it's not me you were asking, but in my case, I already transferred on the 31st of January. And one month later, my characters are nowhere to be seen.

Aran86-

 

your character is not deleted yet, that wont happen until the 31st of March. As long as you submit a transfer and a ticket to support, you should be fine. 

 

Relax, the new team at PA will get you sorted.
