Transfers are up!

I need to get to Hyperion, if I can't... well, it's going to suck big time, I have to wait around for them to let me transfer to Hyperion.... Yuck, 5 days free and entirely pointless.

I was contemplating on going to a more crowded server, but then I compared the ups and downs...

Benefits to have a lot of people in a server.

1-More shouts to do stuff, group up faster.
2-More chances of finding an FC with a lot of active members.

The downside

1-Too much competition in farming, areas would be packed with people trying to kill the same stuff, never getting anything done.
2-Too much competition in the market
3-Perhaps lag due to overcrowded server.


I might just stay in my less populated server and have a chance to enjoy the game, there seems to be more negatives in being in an over-populated server.

For me getting both my characters to Excal, it is not a matter of choosing a populated server. I've got friends on there that want me to join up with them.

It's funny that everything they do with this game get's fucked up. Literally, everything. It takes them forever to fix any of these mistakes too. It baffles me that they didn't expect a shitload of us who got stranded on servers without our friends to want to transfer. On top of that, they don't fix the character caps so we can play with our friends? THE ENTIRE PURPOSE FOR THE TRANSFERS? Sounds like they need new management...AGAIN...

That is right. You can't transfer.

However, the option will open up months from now, per Yoshi (just read past developer letters on lodestone).

Why is there not a real queue system in place? There needs to be a queue for when the world is full and let whoever wants to transfer transfer. I have people who have been waiting to move to hyperion for weeks.

The fact that I can't move to play with my friends when Square-Enix has said that the entire point of server transfers is so that I can do so... just lol.

Your comment a bout why not make transfers one server at a time. The reasoning behind this is because if they did this those who are complaining in here would STILL be complaining if their server was not first and even more so if their server was last. You are always going to have those little cry babies that cant understand how a game works whether it be because they lack the brain power OR lack the will to understand so. I am sorry to those who are 40 year olds living in their basements complaining about the server transfer system being down but we are to blame just as much as SE. How many of you have been F5'ing the server trying to get it to work? This is counter productive to our goals and while it worked for some it is putting undue pressure on the server and in sense we are doing nothing more then breaking the system even more.

Has anyone been able to transfer to Hyperion yet? I'm on a legacy server so my options are limited and I want to get to my friends.

That's why I don't like the fact that Ragnarok is the only european legacy server. I got stuck on a JP server because of being there in 1.0 and 1.0 did not split the regions. But my ping was really bad so I had to leave this server for smoother gameplay today. I bet I'm by far not the only one in this situtation. So I guess Ragnarok will be crowded pretty soon. And as legacy player I had no chance to go on a less crowded EU server. But at least my ping is fine now and gathering feels twice as fast without any lags.

Nope, can't trasfer to Hyperion, well, this sucks, stuck in limbo until whatever goddamn time they can let me transfer to Hyperion, i would have no problem waiting in a queue for 1-2 hours to log in to play really, but their server can't even handle a damn queue system.. lol.

Really, I hope they'll outgrow this technical infancy they're in. While they struggle having a queue system in place (yes, the queue type that says "you're number 2859 in queue, estimated time left 2 hours 23 minutes", while the server is chockfull with thousands of players) others are making region mega-servers..

Gah, I guess most people that want to transfer to Hyperion and other locked servers will not be able to profit from the free transfers at this rate.

If worse come to pass I'll transfer to Ragnarok and transfer paid to Hyperion at a later date.... if they let me, as it stands I don't see Hyperion ever unlocking to transfers.

I really can't believe SE didn't forsee any of this coming... no wait... they probably saw this coming, but decided it's better to sit back and watch the masses go crazy over their broken transfer system.

I can't believe you did not foresee this coming lol

My brother's transfer application just went thru, from Cactuar to Sargatanas, has anyone been able to log in since their transfer application went thru? thanks

If you'd bother to read through this thread or any of the others, that question would have already been answered for you. Yes, people have.

Haha I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. But alas, I may have been too optimistic.
I'm not using their service since I'm stuck on a legacy server, but wanted to see how the transfers went only to see almost 50+ pages of people having problems with the service. Le sigh.

Apparently I can only transfer from Gungnir and Typhon when I know I have characters in other servers that the Mog Station acknowledges are there, and the list doesn't change no matter how many times I refresh.

I see that Balmung is open for transfers, even if http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...23e07acb3d22f6 says it's locked for character creation.

Well, here's hoping Hyperion will become available...

In EvE online when patches did this we said "It's not fixed, it's broken in a whole new way" May take quite a while but I'm betting they will fix stuff, eventually.

I went from Leviathan to Sargatanas too earlier.
I got 2 emails. One to say I did/started the transfer.
Then I got one about 15-20 min later saying the transfer was done. Tho Se said it may take up to a couple days for it to transfer.
Tho most seem to get them in a short time.

Why Was My Transfer Declined?

- Your character may be enlisted in a free company, or may have signed to a free company petition.
- Your character may be currently logged into the game.
- Your character's retainer may currently have items for sale.
- The calamity salvager may still possess items from your inventory (only applicable to characters transferred from Version 1.0).
- Your character's retainer has not been rehired (only applicable to characters transferred from Version 1.0).
- One or more characters subject to transfer may be located in the Mordion Gaol.
- One or more characters subject to transfer may have logged out while in an instanced area.

I've done everything on this list. What could possibly be going wrong now?

1. Did you rehire your 1.0 retainers back ? Both of them ?
2. You're sure you have nothing left on the salvager ? Not even the event items right ? (those were separate no ?) Or that materia tab ?
3. The INN is an instanced area, you're not in an INN no ? Or some other story bit.
4. You don't have any mails left on moogle mail no ? It could be a cause even if it's not listed.

If you solve your problem please let us know what the problem was, others may learn from it :S

GRR. After 6 hours of updating/refreshing and populating the server list to 45 servers none of them being the ones I want to transfer to. I get reset back to only seeing 'Tonberry' just now. My day is RUINED. Where can I find a puppy to punch? :(

My friend could not join Masamune :(

Title of the thread is misleading change it pls. ;(

Hey guys, I have a solution to this problem and others, something I like to call the "World Pass Reborn"!
The "World Pass Reborn" would, as Final Fantasy XI vets have probably surmised, allow its owner to transfer to another server!
There would be a few ways to acquire this in-game item:

You could buy it from an NPC for the low cost of more gil than you really want to spend or likely have at hand; probably you would have to scrounge for a few weeks to afford it. Thus this would also help fight mudflation!

It could drop from dungeon trash, which has the added benefit of encouraging players to kill all enemies. An increased chance to drop when a party member is doing the dungeon for the first time would help ensure veterans are kind to newbies.

It would also be a possible drop from fishing; this should help address complaints about fishing not being profitable.

Naturally, some will get their pass sooner than others, so the transfers will be staggered; since not everyone will be trying to transfer at the same time, everyone will be able to transfer successfully!

So what do you guys think? :)

Well, after trying it off and on throughout the day, it worked for me just now. I'd taken a break for a few hours, then when I finally logged in to give it another go, it went through first time. No F5'ing necessary. I hope it works out soon for those still having troubles.

Leviathan either :(

I've been refreshing all day. I've upgraded to now FOUR servers that I can't transfer to (all new, I'm legacy) and still no character information.

If you are going to post "yay it worked," at least tell us which server you were originally on. I'm on Ridill and my character information STILL hasn't linked properly.

has anyone been able to get into Excalibur

You can't transfer from a legacy world to a non legacy world. This has been stated many times. Even in the last letter from the developer regarding this issue. Even if you weren't a legacy player, you can only transfer from legacy to legacy world.
