I would just like to take the time to thank SquareEnix for making things right.
In early access I was forced onto Siren, instead of being able to make a character on Excalibur to play with all my rl friends (and they constantly bug me when we go to lunch or the bar with how far they've gotten in Coil and how I should have rolled on their server...ha ha ha ha -.-)
By the time character creation was open on Excalibur, I already had my relic, so I decided to wait until transfers to go and play with them.
Well in a few hours that is about to pay off, Siren is a terrible server (they don't even do Prae runs) with a slow economy and low population XD, I know server transfers may take a day or two, but I can't wait to log into Excalibur and start playing with my buddies.
So I'm here all night refreshing Mog Station lol
We finally get transfers!

Actually Excalibur is still one of the pop locked, have fun trying to xfer there since according to them it will still be locked =p I am in the same boat....friends play on Excalibur and I cant play there so I am stuck not progressing because I dont know anyone on the server I am on.

OP you may not get to do transfer. Don't get your hopes up. Se has failed us before and it would be foolish if you think they won't again. They said if something happens with the maintenance there will be no server transfers :)
-
10-15-2013, 01:41 PMHaxxtasticThey're giving us these transfers to make up for the fact that they locked us out of the servers we wanted, they wouldn't lock us out AGAIN lol, this is their atonement for that VERY mistake.Quote:

I'm just bit scared that SE said if there are too many ppl doing transfer, it could take few days to finish the transfer and we can't log in the game during that time...I really want to play it everyday...even I can only run AK and CM...

Look I hate to play Devils Advocate here, but I smell a Shit Storm a brewin.
SE hasn't raised server caps, which means you wont be able to transfer to a full server, and the chance of getting on a heavily populated and popular server is slim. Especially since it's service rendered by order.
There is going to be a ton of people unable to go where they want to, making the transfer nonsensical since they cant transfer to where their friends are.
Yeah the incident known as SE's Trail of Tears, AKA the 90k fiasco, might just happen again with these transfers.
P.S. Sorry but someone had to play the bad guy, but I sincerely hope all of you get to where you're wanting to go. Safe Travels fellow Eorzean's. -

If there's no room in a server then there's no room, nothing you can do about that. What I don't want to happen is one group of friends wanting to transfer to another group of friends but since there's no room, the transferring group gets split up and sent to god knows where. Now that would be a disaster.
With this game's trend of technical issues though, I wouldn't be surprised if there were issues with this transfer either. No, I'm pretty sure there will be issues due to congested worlds and the congestion caused by the sheer amount of people who will be transferring. -
10-15-2013, 02:29 PMsmartazjb0y
Anyone know what time they'll be available?

Just a heads up for those who missed it on the lodestones server transfer page.
Preliminary World Transfer Service Measures (10/10/2013)
World Population Status (October 10, 2013)
* Characters cannot be transferred to a World which has already reached the limit for character creation.
* Characters can also be transferred between data centers. -
10-15-2013, 02:33 PMsmartazjb0yThe character creation limit changes around, right? Pretty sure Behemoth was at the limit at some point, but I made a character on it at like 4am a couple days ago.Quote:

Not much of a server transfer when you cant go where you want to go, and if you're Legacy, the restriction's just make things worse.
There's what, 5 NA Legacy servers out of 30? Something like that, and that's not counting EU into the mix. -
10-15-2013, 03:31 PMJekhar
So the Loadstone has maintenance at 5am till 6am central. I guess after that the world transfer service will be up?
Here is to hoping it doesn't blow up. -
10-15-2013, 03:32 PMValariceYep, this has been what I've been... complaining about for weeks now. Legacy can't leave legacy so they're asking 20 some odd servers worth of non-legacy to basically go to the legacy servers to be with their friends rather than let the legacy people leave their already over-populated worlds (based on personal observations that every day around afternoon through night hours I see a great deal of the servers locked for char creation).Quote:

10-15-2013, 03:32 PMMaddoxNah the transfers are being done through Mog Station. Lodestone and Mog Station are separate.Quote:

10-15-2013, 03:41 PMHaxxtastic
Guys relax! Lol
They're doing this to MAKE UP for the fact we couldn't create our characters on those servers, to tell us we can't TRANSFER to those servers with their "apology free transfer service" would be Public Relations SUICIDE lol
I don't think they would let their game die by opening transfers before they're ready to accept the influx of characters -
10-15-2013, 03:45 PMGenjisamuraiI hate to be the wiseguy but didnt they do that at launch? LOLQuote:

'Early Access' was opened with these issues still present all the way through launch including duty finder issues. Fast forward a little bit to the subscription 401/601 little fiasco in which people's cards, paypals, etc were being rejected erroneously. Let us also not forget the fact that the game was re-released because it flopped previously due to poor implementation and programming.Quote:

10-15-2013, 03:55 PMMaddoxHard to forget that they opened their servers before they were ready for the influx of players. Which caused the Trail of Tears, aka 90k. Which also is the reason why so many aren't on servers they wanted, making the transfer necessary.Quote:

The website is going to be swarmed. There's still 1.0 players still stuck on servers they want off of, and the process being first come first serve is actually detrimental to everyone.
I hope I'am wrong, having it go smoothly would be fantastic. However after all that's happened, that's beyond hopelessly optimistic. It closer to borderline crazy.
If I'am wrong though I will be most happy to come on here and post admitting I was wrong. -

I just wish Square devs were as good as Blizzard.
WoW character transfer was so smooth and fast. I admit I raised an eyebrow when they announced it could take days for a transfer and you can't log in during the process.
Don't tell me you're doing all these transfers by hand, Square, please. :3 -
10-15-2013, 04:48 PMdarknetwork
just wait till we understand how long is SE's "several days"
-
10-15-2013, 05:20 PMHaxxtasticThat is why I've been refreshing every 30 seconds-1 minute for the past 5 hours and 19 minutesQuote:

It was changed due to being camped by not only a ton of players with scripts, but by the RMT for profit. Empress is the result of that change.Quote:
