Game Transfer from Sword2
If you have already opted for transfer on G1 side before Jan 02, 2013, you may continue to complete the transfer by doing the following:

1. Create a new T3Fun account here. Note that your T3Fun e-mail cannot have more than 15 characters for its ID. For example, 123456789012345@hotmail.com is fine, but 1234567890123456@hotmail.com is not.
2. Go to Sword2 Membership Transfer page.
3. Click Login T3FUN button, and enter your T3Fun username and password.
4. Enter your Sword2 ID, Sword2 password, and Sword2 e-mail address, and click Confirm button.
5. Check for a confirmation e-mail at your T3Fun e-mail address, and click on the link provided.

If you opted for transfer at G1 only after Jan 02, you may complete the transfer only on Jan 16, 2013. If you have not opt for transfer yet, you may still do so at G1 Website until Jan 14, 2013.

• For Step #4, use the e-mail when you first agreed to transfer, even if you changed the e-mail at G1 after transfer agreement. [Link]
• For Step #4, if your account was created under K2 (Sword of the New World) and then linked to a G1 account, use the e-mail that was registered with K2. (Do not use the e-mail you use/see at G1 User Profile, unless they were the same when you linked the accounts.) When you registered with K2 previously, there should be a confirmation e-mail from DoNotReply@swordofthenewworld.com with the subject as Sword of the New World -- Registration. [Link]
• For Step #5, if you are not getting a confirmation e-mail even after waiting, try using Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, or G-mail when creating a T3Fun account instead. [Link]

See Updated Q&A, Guide to Transfer Multiple Accounts, and Known Solutions & Discussions for more information.

As everyone mentioned here, such conflicts will not happen. Once you have created a family name on one server, no one else will be able to create it on any other server. Only you can do that from the same account. - G1-Raiden

If anyone has missed the opportunity to transfer, then please do so by clicking on this link and logging in to the account. The S2 website has been redirect to T3, however, the transfer page will remain active till 14th January. This is your final boarding call. - G1-Raiden

Post-Launch Issues

The game seems to just rip off the translations by IAHGames, using the localized item/map/character names for Singapore servers. For example, Glazium (aka Polish/Abrasive), Sacred Chaos Requiem (Caebolan/Sedecram), Port of Bahia (Port of Gigante), Feng Ling (Soso), etc. Sigh. Can't they just use the default names with some corrections for grammar/spelling? Don't try to fix what isn't broken.

Currently, all equipment in the inventory/vault have blank enchantment, even those items that come with fixed enchantments (e.g. Tracking Boots). Also, some items (e.g. White Santa Hat) displayed error for icons in the item details. I expect they will fix this soon - best not to re-enchant anything just yet.

I heard there was some issues with trade lock as well. Meanwhile, the official forum seems to be down...
