I have a big issue with the upcoming World Transfer Service. According to the post on the Lodestone, my Free Trial Period must be over in order to utilize this service. I bought the game for both PC and Playstation 3, which means I have 60 days of Trial Period. This isn't for another THREE WEEKS. I am not a new character, I literally have been playing since beta 4. Yet, because I choose to play this game on multiple platforms, not to mention paying for the game twice, I have to wait two weeks longer than everyone else.
Not only that, but because I already spent MORE money on this game by buying it for a second platform, I am going to miss out on the free transfer to join people on a different server I want to play with. I'm now going to have to pay to utilize this service.
This is unacceptable.

It's not the fault of SE that you bought both versions and thus extended your free time by an additional 30 days, be glad the first 5 days offered is even free to begin with, when WoW launched their server transfer you had to pay a lot even from day 1, the same with FFXI.

Instead of making a whole new thread why not add to one of the similar ones on the front page.... Or is that too hard?

10-11-2013, 05:12 AMCatholicFanConsidering the title of that thread is ambiguous at best, I'd say you're just being rude. Still, having read through that thread, it appears that I'm out of luck. This is so dumb on SE's part.Quote:

"the question is rather ambiguous"
What is so "ambiguous" with a thread title of "Not eligible for xfer cause I bought PS3 Version"
if anything your thread title is more ambiguous... -

Did you see there was another post and think "man, I need to make one of these myself!"? Because the other has been in the top 5 since it was posted.

10-11-2013, 05:43 AMCatholicFanDid you see my post and think, "Man, I need to go in and chastise that guy because I don't have anything better to do?"Quote:

just wait two more weeks, problem solved

10-11-2013, 05:50 AMCatholicFanQuite so. It is just poor planning on SE's part. Two weeks certainly isn't the end of the world, but it makes for additional headaches for people that are already spread across multiple servers.Quote:

Huginn.. We don't know exactly when paid Xfers will be out, and we still have to wait for our accounts to be able to Xfer at early november. So even if paid is there late october we still have to wait.. pending problems.

But then again creating a new thread is kind of a waste of time and space because its the same thing that was discussed... You should already be aware that SE isn't going to do anything about it and that you need to deal with it... If anything it is going to make things easier for them because F2P people are going to drop and they can level servers then F2P will stop again and they can offer another free transfer for the rest of the people...Quote:

I'd change it to be more fitting, but I also don't find that dev's like threads stating "DEV'S LOOK HERE". Either way, its all for the same cause.

10-11-2013, 07:22 AMKariArisuOnly reason XIV's giving 5 free days is because they didn't properly anticipate their player count. They ended up making new servers and locking up old ones for days at a time. A lot of people ended up on different servers than their friends due to this.Quote:

I am with you brother! This is totally unfair and biased against players who have actually given them MORE money than the average player. Completely unfair and of course what do we get from our peers? Not agreement, but a resounding *** you for giving the company more money than them and being disappointed that you are punished for it. Seriously the community is completely so blindly fanboy that they completely piss on their own peers when they have real a problem is not even directed at the game, just a policy that is unfair.
So basically the tip I get from others on this forum is " **** you for buying the game on more than one platform. I get to transfer even though I have paid in less and you're a tool for giving the company more money. Wait two weeks and give them even more money again. Just be happy that I, not you get to do this for free and that the option is there. Not you though, me!" -- sincerely SE Community
Thank you SE community you're a blessing.
