kotaku.com — Paid character transfer hasn't worked for the last 8 days, but it was only today Blizzard pulled the page. Blizzard, aware of serious issue, warns not to keep on trying to finalize the transfer, as it would always fail but would charge your account for each failed attempt. Dozens of people complain that their bank accounts have been drained..

"Everyone knows; if the form involves money, only hit submit once."Come on. That's not fair. If the transaction didnt' complete, why the hell would any normal consumer expect that their accounts had been charged? Are we living in a world now where you pay, but are not guaranteed service? That's bulls**t. Blizzard should be held accountable for not only the overcharges, but the overdraft fees that may have been incurred as a result, as well.It's that kind of elitist "it's everyone else's fault, not the designer's" attitude that really makes our breed look like dicks. I know I speak for more than myself when I say to keep it to yourself next time.

mandarin: I've started playing after the South Park episode, I'll admit it. But, I'm not going to pretend it's "mainstream" because some famous people do it too. It's definately a guilty pleasure, and still pretty dorky. I definately won't tell the next chick I meet about it.. but I'll confess to you, digg community.

From what I understand, there's no such thing as a "hold" on a debit card, unless it is a credit transaction. When the transaction hits, money is transfered from your bank account to the merchant. If someone charged your debit card, they didn't put a hold on your credit or your money -- they have your money.

I transferred mine Thursday night as well, it went through almost instantly.No errors, but even if there was any I don't blame them because they warn you over and over again that there are sometimes errors with the system.
