The patch notes did ask for the community to delete their Instas before the patch. Some chose not to do so.
What a crock. This makes the game unplayable, noone chose that. I've been watching the patch notes and didnt see this, I thought it said they were going to be deleted but in any event I sure as hell didnt see anything saying my character was going to become unplayable. Next time you're going to basically perma-kill characters if we don't perform manual maintenance on our end I'd suggest a metric ****ton more heads up.

Risk vs Reward
Would apply if there'd been an announcement that you delete your bookmarks or your character will become unplayable. This would probably merit its own announcement as well, not being stuck in with three pages of change notes.
Personally I thought they'd said CCP was going to delete them but there was a ton of info flying around so I'm sure I'm mistaken. Even so, I almost deleted mine just for the fun of doing it myself. Had I known we were supposed to be doing just that I would certainly have done so. There was no choice to ignore their directive and hope my 35,000 obsolete bookmarks would bring me gold in the new land.

Have those of you with problems opening the bookmarks tried clearing your cache? Or just leaving the game sitting there loading till it's finished?
Yes and yes. Also reinstalling.

Are we living in a parallel universe on this topic. We're being informed by CCP - pretty much after the fact - that if we did not manually remove our own bm's our characters become fubar; absolutely unreal.
Wtf are you saying? Kieron said that removing the BMs will improve performance. Exactly how does your mind translate this into "if you don't, your character will be fubar"?
Man, the number of people on these forums who are willing to invent FUD just to spite CCP is astonishing.
Read the thread. We can't delete them. Kieron is saying its our fault for not deleting pre-patch. |

No, he is not saying that. It's that simple. People were wondering why they had to manually delete BMs and why some people seemed to know it beforehand, so he answered. You are twisting his words to mean something they don't, and frankly I don't understand what you think you'll get from this.

This was followed up with a post quoting the snippet from the expansion patch notes. If he's not saying that its our fault, then I'm totally missing whatever point he's going for.
Anyway, its neither here nor there. If its not fixed, the accounts screwed by it will start cancelling, regardless of whose fault it is.
All I want is the ability to play my character. I'd also like any action steps that I need to take in the future to be prominently announced, not stuck in the middle of a dynamic patch notes document for a major expansion, particularly if the consequences are going to be game-breaking.
