Hallo folks, we live in interesting times! 
With the recent Developer Diary regarding World Transfers, please note that anybody who intends to create a new character on Crickhollow for the purposes of visiting and/or performing at Shirefest is advised do so before August 3rd.
Should Crickhollow be one of the worlds that will close then Character Creation will be turned off as of August 3rd. Turbine will be monitoring transfers for a couple weeks (so at least until August 17th) before moving on to the next step of the process, so Shirefest itself will still go ahead as planned!
Cheers,
Everbrock
