there is no way we can play together. I am on Excalibur, which isn't accepting new characters. I cant even make a bank alt (Fat lot of good those 8 character slots per server are doing). Is this issue going to be resolved any time in the near future or do I have to tell my friends to play something else?
Well, there's going to be character transfers coming soon. So, hopefully they'll be able to open character creation soon.
Very soon being 2 day? or Very soon being 2 months?
It should be sometime this month, maybe with the next patch.
Character world transfers are slated for mid-September at the moment, but it sounds like they might open it up by next week's patch, going by what was written here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...m-Improvements
Early Next week.
