Official World Transfer Service Announcement (10/24/2013): Questions

The announcement refers to "Official World Transfer Service Announcement (10/24/2013)" for guildlines, but I would like to know:

1) Data Retained After Transfer: Gil (1 million gil per character, 100 thousand gil per retainer) => Is this still true for transfers from Legacy to non-Legacy worlds?

2) You seem to be able to rename your character if the character name already exists on the new world, but do you have the option to rename your character even if it doesn't?

Edit 1:

4) Are my quests going to be reset? What about levequests counter?

1. I'd think so, way round this is make 7 alts, give each 1mil and take 1.2 using your main char

2. As far as I know you only get a rename if yours is taken

I just transferred yesterday and for your first question yes i believe that would still apply going from Legacy to non-Legacy worlds, i was a little over 100k on one of my retainers but i didn't bother to log back in to fix it since it was a minuscule amount anyways.

And for your second question....as M60 said you can only rename your character if there is already another player on that server with the same name as your character, and no option to rename if there isn't.

if it's important for you to rename. check the name on lodestone and if there isnt one with that name make a char on the world you want to transfer to with the name you have. it will then force you to rename. otherwise just transfer and keep your name. easily done :)

What world do you aim for? Some of your ffxi friends are on coeurl, in case you arent set on a EU server.

It's $18 per transfer according to that page. In other words, $18 per million gil you want to bring with you.

I'm going to Lich, found a nice relaxing social guild there a while back. I miss you all! But it's better for me to stay with EU times.
