Question about server transfer restrictions

[Sagacyte]

Hello!

I have 2 chars on different servers, one in US other in JP (created during the launch issues). I plan on moving one of them (JP > US) when the server transfers begin soon.

Reading the transfer notice, I see this:

Once you begin the World transfer process, you cannot create new characters or log into the game until the transfer is complete.

Just to clarify: does this mean I won't be able to login at all? Or I can't/shouldn't log in with the character being transferred? Seeing as it says it can take several days I'm hesitant to do it if it would mean blocking access to my main!

Thanks for your time!

Greetings,

When applying for the World Transfer Service you will not be able to use any of the characters associated with the account of the character you are applying for.

For example, if you have you two service accounts and apply for a world transfer for a character on service account 1, you will not be able to use any characters on that account until the transfer is completed. However, you can still log in with characters on service account 2.

What is the transfer time? Would suck if reset happened and the transfer took many days.

Just like the title says......it stated on the moggle station that characters cannot be transferred to worlds that have reached the character creation limit.......what worlds are those? I would like to transfer to Ultros but it is listed as a crowded world.....does that mean too full or just crowded? Please clarify

This only partially works however. Characters only show up if they have been logged in at least once. It's always possible that somebody made a character to reserve a name, but never bothered to log it in.

I want to move my character to a friends server, but when I checked to see if the name was even available to begin with, it wasn't, despite it not being shown on the lodestone.

I think SE should create a new NA/EU Legacy server as both are currently full so the English Players on JP Legacy Ridill still cannot transfer to Hyperion to meet up with our companies/friends.

It's going to take DAYS to transfer? Sure hope you're freezing subscriptions on accounts that have characters opted for transfer.
