Happened to me too recently Traveing from Ab to Center. Strange thing is the server I was transferring to didnt rollback, I had friends playing on it uninterrupted.
Granted stuff like this doesnt happen as much as before, but still, given the fact that DLC's are still coming out and more and more people are transferring characters to them, I would have hoped Wildcard would have nailed this issue down by now. Especially when people can have a single character transferring over to 6 different ARK maps and can only unlock certain boss engrams over certain ones.
Lets not get started on imprinted dinos for boss fights though.... thats a whole other can of worms...
I dont know what the legalities for Alt-Accounts are, but I can certainly see the appeal of them if stuff gets lost in transit.
In short, it shouldnt happen, but it does happen. If Wildcard want people to continue to spend money on DLC's to keep the game going, they are going to have to get safeguards in place. Its not before time.
