Alternative to FFXIV 1.0 Characters in 2.0

As an alternative to transferring a 1.0 character directly into 2.0. SE should optionally (or mandatory) allow old players to create a new 2.0 character from scratch and enjoy the new low level content in 2.0, but receive a XP and GIL bonus equivalent to the XP and Gil earned in 1.0. All inventory items, misc. points/rewards from 1.0 would be carried over.


For example if a character earned 150,000 XP and 700,000 Gil in 1.0 took this option they would receive 200%(or any percentage) bonus on all XP and GIL earned in 2.0 until the bonus totals the amount earned in 1.0. They would again retain all inventory items, misc. points/rewards from 1.0.

Please comment! :D

Or just experience the new content with a new class?

It's a good idea, though, just might be convoluted for them to deal with.

It definitely seems to be interesting but I don't think it should be mandatory, however.

well legacy account will give us 40 character slots for the price of one so we have a tons a mules or other characters we can start.

you'll be able to create multiple characters, so there really isn't much of a point to this.
