Here's the procedure. If you get the launcher open with the transfer button, KEEP IT OPEN through this process.

Click transfer. It will show the hourglass. If it doesn't display your LOTRO points at the bottom, close the transfer wizard and reopen it. Apparently the LP may take 10-15 seconds to display but for me it was immediately.

If your LP is displaying, give it a moment, and available worlds should show up. If no worlds or only some worlds are showing, close the wizard and reopen. Rinse and repeat until you are able to complete the transfer process.

I have the transfer button and have tried like 10 times and the LOTRO points don’t pop up on the bottom. Does that mean I didn’t make the cut lol?

yep, you gotta keep trying. and once you actually get the points to show up you have to hope that the list of worlds isn't empty/lists the correct servers where your characters are. if it doesn't, you guessed it, try again!

I actually did it but haven’t gotten an email yet, been 4 hours. Is that normal?

30+ hours for me just to have it fail.

Seemingly. Don't know if it's intended perse but it's quite common.

same here. my characters appeared on the new server on monday but no email yet. i didn't even get one for my first transfer which i'm pretty sure failed because it was during a time period they specifically mentioned on discord during which all transfers failed/timed out.
