Returning player - Transfers.

I'm considering returning to FFXIV, I played a long time and left shortly after crystal tower was introduced. The new servers weren't open to transfer when I stopped playing and I was wondering if they are now open and I would be able to transfer off a Legacy server to a different one.

I also noticed some new EU ones (Zodiark?), are they open and how are the UK populations? I ask because I have some friends who potentially want to to play too (new players, new characters) and I'd like to transfer to where ever they pick :)

Thanks in advance.

The 'new' servers that were available from launch or a few months after are now open to 1.0 character transfers - the only three servers which you cannot transfer any existing character to at the moment are the three new servers added for the PS4 version - Zodiark, Shinryu and Jenova (you can only create a new character on these servers). It's unclear when these three servers will be opened up for transfers, but later in the year is my guess.
