Recently I have been wanting to transfer my legacy character to one of the New servers due to that I been wanting to play with my RL friends there instead of reworking on another character.
I wonder how much longer does this one have to wait to be able to do so and enjoy the game more?
How much longer do we have to wait for Transfers?

I believe they said at least 6 months, it hasn't been 6 months yet.

Probably going to have to wait until housing sales have leeched enough money out of the Legacy economies for them to feel it won't be disastrous to mix all that money into the other servers. So, yeah, at least six months; probably a bit longer, as they'll want to wait until housing prices reach their minimums (nine weeks from housing release) and the housing rush has had a chance to simmer a bit.
No matter how they slice it, it's going to be rough on the non-legacy servers. Folks who are only modestly wealthy on Legacy will see they can be among the top wealthiest players on other servers. More than a few will be tempted to move for that reason alone, and it won't take long for inflation to skyrocket. I have a Legacy friend waiting to join us on Gilgamesh, and as much as I want to see him, I'm not looking forward to my money becoming worthless. -

The gil on legacy servers means nothing when transfering. You can only take so much gil with you.. and ofcourse the obvoius way around that in items.. again only so much.. and most economies are dead atm.. so saying its because of the amount of gil on the servers is false.

Gil means nothing anyway except for sinks like housing. I think the most money I've spent on anything was to power my crafting and get some gear made, but that was only like 20k and I made it back with a handful of quests and reselling the extra stuff.
I honestly don't understand why they worry about the economy so much when all real endgame gear and items come from either BoP drops or a grind vendor, when the starter gear is so easy to make, when any and all consumables can be made so easily, when crafting is useless and so easy to level, when money falls from the sky, when there's no real sink, and when everything can be done on one character. At this point I'm convinced Gil is just in the game because every game has a currency.I personally have like 250k at not even 44 and can't find things to spend it on. -

i think we should have a free transfer period when the legacy -> non-legacy transfer begins. Since when we had a free transfer period, we couldn't transfer to a non-legacy server.

I have many question but 0 answers, Do mod's ever get back to us on these things? like this and fantasia potions? or is it just us players rambling and no one is listening. I'm just wondering...

It's a mighty big community and a lot of threads/topics out there. And I really can't think of any MMO forums that has the community reps responding to everything and re-responding to something they already responded to. /shrug I just view it as, if they have information they post it. If they don't they don't post anything.Quote:

Wouldn't "legacy gil" freely flowing to other servers make the broken economy and drop rates much easier to balance when they could just work the entire game as a whole?
If that's not an option then just triple our teleportation and tax fees until we're poor enough so we can play with other people instead of being a prisoner of this server!
I paid my way to legacy to support development of this game when it was nothing but a mess and now you're treating your most loyal customers like second class citizens =(
How about this: Make the transfer from legacy players cost x amount of gil?
Money in this game is so worthless that it's not worth the tremendous downside of the one character you worked on being server locked.
I have to add that I don't know anyone on my server carrying "millions of gil" around. A lot of us legacy players are just as poor as the rest of you.
