Wolrd Transfer coming

[MacHorz]

Hey

with the upcoming free world transfer, I was wondering if I can move for free from NA to EU data center?

e.g.: from Sargatanas to Ragnarok or Shiva

I guess you cannot change between different region datacenters worlds.
But I'm sure you cannot change wolrds!

Given you can with a paid transfer I don't see why it would be different for the free one.

In this case, we will get it because SE is moving worlds to a different datacenter, and want players able to accommodate to the new setup in the way they feel better. So the reason transfers are free between all worlds within the old datacenter.

We still have to read the details of the offering, 'tho.

Nope. I'm pretty sure it's been stated that you can transfer from any EU realm to any realm period when the EU datacentre splits, and then same for NA when that datacentre splits. So with the free transfers I can move from Omega to Leviathan when the free EU transfers open up, and then from Leviathan back to Omega when the free NA transfers open up. I'd pay for neither. Don't have the source to hand right now, but I've read it, pretty sure it was on these very forums.

It is very unlikely a setup where EU players can enjoy two free transfer periods, and NA player just one.

For a period of approximately two weeks following the implementation of each new Data Centre, all characters on affected Data Centres will be able to transfer Worlds at no cost.

The following accommodations will also be made for players transferring Worlds:

Players will be able to carry up to 999,999,999 gil to their new World.
Players who own an estate will have the full cost of the land returned to them, and receive an additional 3,000,000 gil to compensate for lost furnishings.
Players who own an apartment will have the full purchase price of 500,000 gil returned to them, and receive an additional 500,000 gil to compensate for lost furnishings.

Additionally, all active accounts (with game time remaining) in regions that experience a maintenance period longer than twenty-four hours will have their remaining game time extended by one day.

▼EU Availability

Dates: Tuesday, 2 April to Monday, 15 April, 2019
Eligible: All characters on EU Data Centres
▼NA Availability

Dates: Tuesday, 23 April to Monday, 6 May, 2019
Eligible: All characters on NA Data Centres

Looks pretty clear to me that is the case. There's absolutely nothing in the post about being limited to just EU to EU or NA to NA transfers. Just says "All characters on an EU/NA data centre" for eligiblity, with the usual "Can't transfer to congested worlds, transfers to preferred worlds will incur a 90 day instead of 3 day lockout".

It seems ambiguous to me. It certainly doesn't rule out being able to transfer anywhere, but it doesn't clearly state it either. If the intent was that they could only transfer within the affected data centre, it still could be phrased that way - not the best phrasing, but possible.

Good to see that everybody is as clueless about this as I am. Guess I'm gonna wait for a month to see if I can transfer to a JP server.
