Suggestion for legacy server transfers
It would be nice if characters on legacy servers could transfer to other worlds, even if there were greater restrictions. I know the reason given for legacy server characters not being able to transfer is the economy on given worlds. I currently have three real-life friends playing on a non-legacy server that I would like to transfer to. I have less than 300,000 gil, and would even be willing to give some of that up if I could join my friends. I feel that drastically lowering the amount of money that is transferable would make a fair balance, while helping to preserve the economy on a non-legacy world. On top of this, the server I am trying to transfer to is Leviathan, a non-legacy server that has been available since day 1 of this game. I am hoping this can become possible, especially during the free-transfer period.
Frustrated 1.0 non legacy player
I agree this seems like a stupid restriction. I have a hunch that it is actually some technical aspect that is causing this restriction. I mean now that world transfers are going to be paid and now that the gil limit has been changed to 1mil/100k it just doesn't make sense. I too would like to play with my RL friends, but don't want to abandon my 1.0 character. Which at this point seems like the only option even though I'm not a legacy character. I really wish they would just come out with a time line and say 6 weeks, 6 months, whatever. Having no idea is becoming frustrating. If it continues much longer I may just unsub and wait. I mean if I start a new character I'll be so far behind my RL friends it'll take me a month or more to catch up, and if I wait for server transfers I'll still be behind (unless the happen in the next few weeks). They may be RL friends, but they aren't going to wait forever for me to lvl/transfer. But if I don't have peeps to play with it gets a little boring.
Totally agree on OP, will quit game soon
I could not access Beta due to some SE technical error and could not transfer then.
Now we are barred from joining non-legacy servers. My friends from FFXI (more than 10 years) have moved on and I can't join them and I had subscribed 6 months to this game...... I'm stuck and without any announcement from SE. Got to play solo in a MMORPG....... what a joke.
1mil, 100k per retainer is very restricting on gil movement already. It will not affect an economy with billions of gil circulating. It is not going to impact any server economy much. To be continued......
