Ok... first of all thank you for giving me an additional free period for buying two copies of the game to enjoy on my laptop and my home console... BUT SERIOUSLY! Why am I being punished from transferring servers when I have already made the equivalent of nearly three monthly payments for this game! All I got was one additional free period that would of only cost me 12 dollars. I Want to transfer to the server of my friends, but now I am once again forced to wait nearly another month and that will be after the 5 day free period!
I demand I get to server transfer during the free period. It absolutely ridiculous that I am punished again for being nice enough to buy two copies of this game. It's completely utterly unfair. I can't access veteran rewards even though I have payed more than a veteran already and now this...
Not leaving me much reason to stick around.
SERIOUSLY! PUNISHED AGAIN for buying PS3 and PC version!

Maybe you shouldn't throw your money at duplicates of a game?
Maybe you should have rolled with your friends in the first place? Or coordinated better? -

1. I bought duplicates of the game because I play at my college campus when I have breaks. I play at home on my PS3 so that my laptop can get a rest and not be playing 3D games for extended periods of time and shortening its life, which is more valuable than it dying year(s) sooner.
2. Its hard to coordinate when friends were able to start much sooner than me and their server is locked. Its not like Dev's warned the player base that they would be locking servers down after a certain number of players and not removing the lock for over a week or more. Making that situation completely circumstantial and not my fault.
I don't even care if I lose my second free period at this point as its useless to me if I can't switch to my friends server for nearly another month and I will have to pay for it.
Sigh maybe I can call customer service and get them to remove the free period that I have no value in anymore. -

yeah... you've been punished for supporting the PS3 version that 90% of the players don't like.

And server transfers are in 5 days... I don't see the problem.

10-11-2013, 08:09 AMSithconjurerThe problem is that just because I bought a PC and PS3 copy of the game to meet my requirements. I am going to completely over shoot the free trans period and have to pay for the service because of my additional free trial period for getting both softwares. Not mention I don't get use the service for another 3 weeks from next Tuesday which delays me from playing with 6-7 friends who are already on Leviathan server even longer.Quote:

Let's go through the requirements -
You must possess an active service account for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. - I assume this is the case here.
You must be logged out of the game. - Unless you are 3102'd this shouldn't be a problem.
Your character cannot be enlisted in a free company, holding a free company petition, or signed to a free company petition. - Can be addressed.
Your character cannot have items for sale on the market. - Can be addressed.
Your character cannot have items entrusted to the Calamity Salvager NPC. - Can be addressed.
Your character must rehire any retainers carried over from Version 1.0. - Can be addressed.
Your character must be logged out outside of any instanced areas. - Can be addressed.
Your free trial period must be expired. - This is the catch however I assume they mean first free trial period (as in the one immediately following activation of a service account) as I would assume they would consider any additional time added equivalent to utilizing a game time card. You don't know though because I am also assuming you haven't tried to contact them to verify this. Plus, we don't even know when paid services begin so transfers could be free until after the date in which your second "trial" expires, I am assuming would be October 26.
The character you wish to transfer must be at least three days old. - Check.
Your service account cannot be suspended due to a violation of Terms of Service or a hold on the account. - I am assuming you won't be suspended prior to Tuesday unless there is something you are not telling us. -
10-11-2013, 08:28 AMGenjisamuraiThere have been threads of people contacting them and they cant do anything.Quote:

So, if Kamilah started playing when the game was released (or even during the Early Access period), the billing would('ve) start(ed) during the period where the World Transfer service is still free. And if Kamilah wants to have her character from her 2nd copy (which she recently bought) "transfered" to another world (where her friends characters are playing), wouldn't she have created that particular character on the designated server already?Quote:

The problem is SE has a contractual obligation to afford you free time - I guess there's nothing they can do without breaching that.
Which makes absolutely no sense, but that's what I've heard. Devs feel free to chime in here....
...like that ever happens hahaha -

Punish: inflict a penalty or sanction on (someone) as retribution for an offense, esp. a transgression of a legal or moral code.
You're not being punished.....
You are simply not getting rewarded/compensated/given a free world transfer due to bad planning on how/when/where you bought & registered your accounts.
What you should do:
I want to play with friends.. let's see, what do I need to do. Okey, I need to do this, this, this, and I musn't do this.. then I can play with friends. Okey!
What you did:
I'm going to do this this and this. Alright, now I want to play with friends. Wait, why can't I go to that server?! ARRGH!!!!!
Next time, please consider planning ^.^ -
10-11-2013, 02:03 PMAlhanelemThis requirement has been officially confirmed to be incorrect, and is going to be removed from the website, which should eliminate the cause for this RRRRRrrraaaageeeee! thread.Quote:
Your free trial period must be expired. -
