"you cannot login until the character update process you recently initiated is complete"

I transfered like 2 days ago and have been playing with the transfered character on the new server for those 2 days and just got this trying to login. I was using a new credit crad but also used it to reactivate my subscription and that went through. Can someone check this and tell me how to fix it?

Q u o t e:

- I have been playing on the target server for 2 days with the character, and the character is no longer on the old server


Though the majority of transfers, faction changes and other services will be allowed to go through if the initial security checks and bank requests do not throw up any red flags, the purchase isn't actually complete until it has been fully processed. This usually takes up to 72 hours. In this case there seems to have been an issue with the transaction. This could have been from your bank or our systems, Arasyn, all I can tell is that the transaction was denied.

If such transactions are denied the character is temporarily locked.
Q u o t e:

- I used the same card and re-subscribed and that went through just fine


Subscriptions and service purchases are treated differently I'm afraid. In most cases there wouldn't be an issue but paid services (faction, transfer, etc...) are akin to online purchases and are handled differently then subscriptions. Our Billing and Account Services department should be able to help figure out what happened and get things straightened out.
