It says "You cannot log in until the character update process you recently initiated is complete."
when I try to play two of my characters (my favorite character is one of them so I can't play my favorite character). I didn't order any updates or anything! Please help!

Q u o t e:
No I didn't order any transfers or anything, I don't know if someone hacked me or what, how do I contact billing? Do I have to call them because I hate having to talk to strangers on the phone.


I don't wish to provide you any panic, Ullwynn, but it does seem something may be amiss. I highly suggest contacting our staff at [email protected] or logging in and submitting a petition regarding this issue.

In addition, you'll want to review the following information:

I'm afraid waiting will be necessary in this case. These issues are often quite swiftly addressed, though, so I do hope you will not be waiting too long. =)

It would also be wise to review the links I provided, to best prevent this kind of thing from reoccurring.

Q u o t e:


Well the thing is my character isn't transferred or anything and I checked all the pending xfers/race change/ etc and there are no pending anything so I don't understand what's going on.


I am led to believe your account has been accessed by someone who was not you, Ullwynn. It would be wise to check over your computer and change your e-mail and account passwords.

The links above have a much more thorough step-by-step guide on where to go while you wait for your petition to be answered. =)
