Let them move to your server, I mean they are your friends, right?

LOL... wow...

1) get your friends to transfer to your server (if not they really aren't your friends)

2) You won't pay $20 to play with your friends? (Hope your "friends" don't find out!)

3) You knew SE's standpoint of legacy xfers from the start. Stop the QQ... didn't need another thread about this.

With the stupid gil restriction on transfers (I'd never be able to transfer my character now even if I wanted to) I see no reason why they can't allow legacies to move to non-legacy servers. 3 million gil is the most you can take with you and that's not a lot.

1) I don't think Excalibur needs more players.

2) Playing from 1.0, I've paid enough already.

3) And no I didn't know SE's standpoint of legacy transfers.

I feel like this legacy thing is more a curse than anything.

I find it quite funny how people think its such a big deal that if they allow legacy players to transfer to non legacy its going to some how "destroy" the economy....also the fact that a ton of people got screwed by the launch of this game because people could not get onto the servers their friends were on because of server population problems or whatever. OHHHH and add in the fact that those same new players that only had legacy servers to choose from and don't have legacy status are treated as legacy status players!!! give me a break guys also this coming from someone that has "legacy status" new players that got stuck with this problem i feel bad for why play an MMO if you cant play with your friends?

It would be simple if they added more legacy servers.

Hint: They are all crowded.

Oh god no. Why would you want the brand new economies to be completely destroyed? There is zero logical sense in this. The reason I chose a new server is for exactly that reason. Maybe in like 2-5 years when it doesn't matter so much.

I'm glad legacy players can't play with us new players. They had a couple years headstart, I don't see that being close to fair. If they really wanted to come be with us newer players, they can re-roll a character, simple as that.

Legacy players still acting like they weren't informed about what the deal was going to be, give it up already.

You have to wait ~5.5 more months, SE explained that all over the place for months before Early Access. Just because you didn't bother to read any of the notices about this does not mean it should be changed for you.

Failure on your part does not constitute an emergency for others.

Legacy players would help stabilize the economy, driving down prices to affordable levels. Instead of the current economy where gilsellers are driving prices up.
How terrible.

only 1 legacy server has character creation restrictions atm, so i doubt its that much of an issue and neither do i think that legacy players would transfer to non-legacy servers that are in need of players.

I guess this is the price to pay for all the legacy benefits you recieved. Sorry but i agree, i'd rather not have legacy players on Leviathan at the moment. :p

well if you have been here all this time and followed Yoshi's live letters he stated 3-6months for legacy to transfer off. aside from that there is no helping you, your friends can xfer to you for free right now so idk what the deal is.

wait what? gilsellers are driving the prices down, not up. Get your facts straight because its the players driving it back up. Sorry if it sounds greedy but I like the economy the way it is simply because it means that people can actually make gil, you know, profit from a fresh economy.

Anybody who claims letting legacy characters onto the normal servers would "ruin the new servers economy" clearly has no idea what their servers economy looks like already. The economy is already overrun with bots/gilsellers and has already been ruined due to the lack of enforcement on SE's part. There are also already several players with all maxed crafts and there has been for weeks at this point. Claiming that adding new real players (and gil for that matter) to the economy will destroy it is just silly. I'm on the non-legacy server that I want to be on but that's only because, unlike so many others, i did catch the memo that we wouldn't be allowed to transfer so I abandoned my 1.0 character. Let's be honest, SE didn't exactly give legacy characters much of a choice and at this point legacy servers are overcrowded and a lot of people who were forced to start on a new server, due to character creation restrictions, have made lots of other friends and may not want to transfer for a single person.

They already limit the gil you can take with you when transferring. That is more than enough to counter any lingering "advantage" of a legacy player (and nowadays there really isn't one left).

I would -love- to know how I would ruin your server when you already have people with max crafts :) People are already maxing Dow/Dom/Doh/DoL on these servers, I know, I have played on them. in 2 years..? We are already pretty close to balanced imo.

A lot of us have rerolled, the game is incredibly different now, as are the jobs. the only 1 up we have is levels, and that doesn't matter much anyways when you can get a job up to 50 in three days. The things besides that are little things that don't matter. A tatoo, a mount, a chocobo.

I am not trying to leave my server but it's unfair to keep labeling players from 1.0 as a disease. Many of us were stuck like many of you in beta with full servers and our friends couldn't come here, the servers were too full for us to go there. There are many non 1.0 members on the legacy servers too. I guess im just a little sad people are still pulling the "1.0 are scum, keep them away!" fight again, it kinda breaks my heart im hated on for enjoying the game you enjoy before it was perfected :(

Yes. Mounts and tattoos are exactly the issue. We can't let these goobbue mounts onto our servers. Know why they're so fat? It's because they're full of MONEY. And all that money they lug around is going to ruin the economy, leaving penniless peasants that dwell in non-legacy servers in total despair.

You do realize you can level all DoL/H from 1 to 50 in one week even if you aren't very hardcore. SE made this game so easymode that legacy players barely has any "headstart" to speak of.

You hand in 3 items and there's your level, what did we have to level to 50 in 1.0? Holy crap. Don't get me started.

you guys had plenty of time to tell your friends to create a character on your server during open beta, since you should have known by then that you wont be able to transfer to a new server for a while.

sorry, but your excuses don't fly, too bad so sad.

That be great, if SE had opened the servers last month rather then leaving them blocked
Now the friends who wanted to come to my server are torn between coming to play with us and the friends they have made in the server they had to choose. It's kind of pointless to fight about it when there was just so many shenanigans in the way. I just want people to start getting along. Legacys are not better then you, we just played the game longer. Don't hate for that, please? We don't hate you. Hell I want to -help- you! You have no idea how many DF AK's ive lost (happily teaching)because I was helping people from different servers learn the fights when others just left them. *bakes cookies and tries to get everyone to play nice*

I'm on a legacy server(not a legacy player though, my brother is) and I can definitely understand the restrictions. He is WAY ahead of me in everything it's not even funny. I'm a pretty "casual" player (a couple hours a day) , but I consider it to be a good amount. Even if you were to go with the "well you only get to transfer with 3mil" reason, how hard would it be to just buy out the expensive endgame items that sell for millions and just bring them over to the newer server. Just cause they restrict gil doesn't mean there isn't ways around it.

SE would take your gil when you sell them back on the new server. :P

Sounds like an entrapment scheme...

Take gil from player, sell to other players, players used gil to buy stuff. SE steps in remove all gils from crafter, which probably be millions, knowing ppl will blindly defend them no matter what, keeps economy in check, shows players they are doing somthing about RMT.

Make money, remove gil keeping economy in check , good PR. Perfect!
