And I forgot -- Turbine itself still has problems with the former Codemaster's subscribers. Part of the basic problem is that the Codemaster's data base was radically different from the one which Turbine uses.

This was "demonstrated" throughout the Beta of Riders of Rohan.

Turbine has a thing called "Character copy" which allows your actual character to be duplicated on Bullroarer, copied from your live server. However, they can only do EITHER the North American servers or the European (i.e. Codemaster's) servers. So if they align the copy system to match the Codemaster's database, it is incompatible with the Turbine system. (The copy process doing the data conversion.)

It has been an annoying issue ever since Turbine consolidated the players from Europe under their own control some 2+ years ago.

One assumes that Turbine has TWO unique Character Copy programs rather than one modularized one. But who knows -- Turbine is not telling.
