Last call to voluntarily migrate Java accounts

The rollout has been good and well-planned, and definitely a long time in the making, but why is it whenever some user change is rolled out it is always to “improve user security”? Is it just a short hand at this point?

I received the "Migration Complete" email and now minecraft.net login gives me this https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/login?error=InternalServerEr...

...the rollout is not that "good"

It hasn't been well planned or well executed. Just look at all the posts in this thread of people complaining about being locked out of their accounts for very dubk reasons. The Live account system is well known to be a fucking mess not unlike most of the stuff that company does.

Yeah, I've always just read it as... "yeah, this sucks for you but hey, it's in the name of security. This'll be more secure! Probably!"
