Selling/Relinquishing Land for a Server Transfer as an FC leader...

(Seems there's a cap on how much text is in a post...Gonna post each segment of this in three posts total, so please read all of it before answering.)

So I have a few questions...Okay, ALOT of questions. If anyone can help me, I'd be thankful. I have a headache trying to figure this all out.

I'm the leader of an FC (a defunct one sadly), and was planning on moving to a new server due to my own being heavily congested. The FC does have a small plot and house, and I have a friend that would like to buy the plot when I transfer.

After reading through the wiki and the many patch notes I came to the conclusion that I could probably demolish the house and relinquish the land to get 80% of the gil back. However I read conflicting statements saying relinquishing land won't give any gil back at all. The only way to get the 80% is to wait 45 days. Is this true?

If that's the case, then I have a few thoughts on what to do, both having questions tied to them. (continued)

1. I can simply demolish everything and leave. With the server transfer bonuses, since I'm the current FC leader I should be refunded all the gil put into the land + 3 mil for compensation of unpick-uppable furniture. Keyword there is "Should". I wasn't the initial owner of the FC (he left years ago). So...

Question 1: Since I inherited the FC, do those bonuses come with me? Or should I disband the FC first completely and then switch servers? Will the plot still be mine?

Question 2: What happens to the plot when I switch? Does it immediately come up for sale when I transfer, or is there a grace period? I want to make sure my friend gets this plot when I'm gone.

(continued)

2. The second option is to have my friend temporarily join my FC. He gives me the money I would've obtained from Option 1 (8 mil I believe, as the plot was 5 mil). I can then make him leader, then he should be able to demolish the house, disband the FC, then take over the plot...right?

Question 1: Would this work?

Question 2: He wants it to be a Private Residence. Would he be able to do that if he disbands the FC? Is there any downsides or extra money (other than a new house) tied to switching an FC deeded land to a Private Residence?

So those are the options I'm thinking of currently. If there are any other better options, I'm open to suggestions. In summary - I wanna switch servers and get the benefits of switching servers while my friend gets the plot I leave behind.

Thanks in advance.(end)

You can edit a post to get past the limit. It's likely a simple numeric value in a textbox someone can spend a few seconds changing, but for whatever reason they've seen it fit to keep it an annoyance.

First, there are only two ways you'll currently get gil back from the system:
a. Wait 45 days and you get 80% of the plot price back.
b. If the plot is personal (not fc) and you clear everything off it (don't relinquish the estate), you get the original purchase price + 3 mil gil when you do the special transfer they just set up to depopulate the overcrowded servers a bit.

Neither of these help you if you're looking to transfer now since you stated this was an fc owned estate. If your friend wants the estate for a personal house, it will have to be relinquished before he can buy the plot for the full price again from the server.

Thanks for answering, and yeah I figured that out eventually. We ended up doing the second option, only since it was indeed FC property, I gave him ownership of the FC and he's going to sit on the property until it auto-relinquishes or he gets enough money to do it early.

Either way, I'm off Gilgamesh and on Couerl. ^_^ And thanks for the protip about the posting. I'm obviously new to this forum.
