Some people actually want to keep their progress. Sucks if all your friends are grinding for relics and you're back at lv 1. Gl hf w/ that!
man you sound so unemployed. it's not nearly as easy as you think it is to roll a new char with a full time job, like normal people. I want server transfer too, in the same position as OP.
You lot are a bunch of entitled children. They take a little bit longer to be sure the service is working (to test it, I'm sure) AND offer 5 days of free transfers...and you people can do nothing but bitch? What a pathetic bunch of babies.
Thanks so much Square-Enix for the free transfers! And here's hoping that everything goes smoothly. I can only imagine the forums if these idiots lost a character during transfer...ugh.
Indeed. Tho', I've a rather silly question..
That signature of yours, the top your character is wearing.. what is that? o.O I've never seen that one in game with the sleeves and teardrop opening like that. (And I would have private messaged but I don't think that's an option.)
There's...no congestion to happen because it's a simple choose your characters and choose the world you want to transfer to, or even XI style while you talk to an NPC and get a world pass item and do it that way - If any congestion happen it won't last that long. Even if it lasts past the free days, so what? If you truly want to transfer you'll still utilize the service.
SE doesn't "owe" anyone anything.
It's the XIV 1.0 underwear forelvaanelezen chicks - in ARR they went with a universal model since people complained (yes complained) that there were underwear options and they needed repairs along with other armor.
I just started a new character on new world, the others hopefully that world will ease up a bit in a month or two so I can play them to. It does not take long to start over.
What I'm waiting for now is the service to be so packed and slow that people aren't going to be able to even transfer within those 5 days. I will be trying to use it but I am not holding my breath. Oh well, here's to hoping it goes well..
Just like there was no congestion to the early access code page? lmao again.Quote:

Knowing how this is going to work (in usual SE fashion) and soooo many people needing server transfers this is going to be another enjoyable clusterfu*k of doom. I need to contact all the people I want to be on the same server with and pester them to give me an idea which to transfer to and hope that not every idiot and their brother will want to be on that same server aswell so that it will give the server full error again and again till we ragequit. Yes, great way to spend my days recovering from a major operation.
I _almost_ got relic on a diff server [sargatanas] (stuck with bads for pugging so couldn't get it) while friends were on Tonberry. Rerolled on tonberry, got to 50 in 4-5 days, got my relic on the day I hit 50, and attempted turn 4 coil.
Just gotta be efficient with your time in game :)
Thanks SE for the update and the free 5 days!
SE should expect some heavy transfer "congestion" in the 5 free days, so hopefully the free pass will be to anyone who applies during the 5 days, not if you're actually moved. I'm fine with characters being moved after the 5th day due to being "later in line" as long as it's still free if the application was done in time.
Also, I wonder how they'll deal with legacy characters and their friends. They've stated before that a world may not be open for transfers if it's too full. If legacy characters can only move between legacy servers and there's a bunch that brings in some friends from the new servers, the legacy servers may be too full and as a group we can't look at new servers to move to. Maybe take one of the new servers and make it a legacy one...?
Considering there's new people running around with relic +1s and AF2, I think it's safe to move Legacy chars to new servers. The imbalance is vanishing.
Keep 1.0 Players on the legacy servers. If they have friends, the friends can transfer to them. There's no reason people coming into 2.0 with a full character sheet of level 50's have any business going anywhere BUT legacy servers where they can possibly have peers in similar standing.
This game has been out for a month. (A little more than, but with its issues, I think a month is fair to say.) If a person was max level their first week (unlikely but I'll continue) and somehow grinded their 300 myth marks each week, the most they could have is relic +1 and "a" piece of AF2. Lot different than if you're in the Legacy situation where you literally finished your character's optimization weeks ago and are just using mythology marks to contemplate the meaning of life at this point.Quote:

Coming from a new player on a Legacy server (friend was there already), they ruin the high end market. So many of them have tens of millions saved up that by the time players like myself were geared well enough and had the cross class abilities to HQ ilvl 70 gear the profits were gone entirely. It's not uncommon to see 15-25 rose gold earrings up at a time here.
It's not a big problem in the long run but man did that make it hard to break into high level stuff.
I am actually very grateful that they're offering free ones for the first few days. My legacy character transfer never went through back when we had the option to. ): So, it'll be nice to get my free transfer that I should have had.
Just to clarify, it'll be free to transfer within those five days, but that's not equivalent to unlimited transfers within those five days...correct? I could see some wild arbitraging opportunities otherwise...
FFS A community rep announced it here 10 minutes ago ... would you rather all the website artists, designers, directors, and engineers get the info before you have to create assets, develop, QA, and test changes before telling you.
GD instant gratification whinny generation ....
It looks like Legacy Characters can join new worlds. There seems to be a gil limit though.
Well, assuming it ever comes - what would be awesome is a break down (estimated of course, it wouldn't be 100% accurate) of how many nationalities exist on each server.
It would help those that want to be with certain people, to then be with certain people.
I don't even mind having high non English speaking persons on my server, I'm just tired of it affecting the way other people interact and in turn make everyone pissy all the time, when I'm not even a part of it.
Oh and hate the feeling of having to force or rush everything because people are impatient and you haven't a way to communicate due to the shallow and poor translation system.
My friends are on balmung. If I dont get to transfer there from sarganatas I will probably just reroll :/
They ruin the economy? Honestly, this wasn't obvious..? If you've got friends, then they can transfer to you. There is absolutely no reason 1.0 players should be allowed off their legacy shards just over a month post launch as it cheapens the work of those who started from scratch and couldn't find a high level character already in existence to simplify their grind/gear creation/etc. like on Legacy.
Unfortunately it looks like this is falling on deaf ears though as someone who can read Jap seems to have said all that's going to happen is a Gil cap. Bad decision.
This is funny coming from a player on a Legacy server with a lvl 50 Arcanist.
Not all Legacy 1.0 players are lvl 50 everything with 50 million gil. I played 1.0 for the first 3-4 months after release and got my MRD to lvl 23 and a few other odd classes to mid teens. Right now my highest lvl is MRD 34 and all others are below 20 (many still at 0), and I have ~20k gil. Right now there are tons of 1.0 players like me who are stuck on Legacy servers with a bunch of elites who formed FCs long ago, lvl 50 everywhere you look and no one talks to you because you're not lvl 50, and it sucks. I'd rather jump to a regular server where there are more players in my lvl range still and are still sociable to people under 50.
Will there be any type of restrictions to transferring to another server? Such as based on population?
