Why is this not an option? Could someone please explain the reason why I can't transfer? So what if I'm on a Legacy server and wish to go to a Non-Legacy server? Now me and my friend are pretty screwed to play with our other friends because of this restriction.
Surely it should be allowed? I mean, come on? I'm paying them for it!
*Rant over*
I apologize for sounding so annoyed, but its really bugging me.
EDIT: After looking around the Google I found the Live Letter from the director. Okay, so it is because they think people from Legacy servers will break the economy of non-legacy worlds? I'm on a Legacy world and all I have is 30k. I'm pretty sure that won't have any effect on the Non-Legacy worlds. Even still, surely it has been more than enough time now? Or am i wrong?

I'm thinking they're going to lift these restrictions very soon. Maybe around the timing of patch 2.2 or the PS4 release.

Cheers for letting me know. Hopefully then, it won't take too much longer. Oh well, suppose there is always time for more grinding to be done till the transfer option becomes available

I sure hope they'll do free transfer for those on Legacy servers to non-legacy servers since those one Legacy servers majorly missed out the free transfer week!!! >:(

Legacy servers are populated with folk who played pre-ARR 1.0 FFXIV. It was ridiculously easy to get MASS AMOUNTS of Gil during end-game through leve abuse amongst other things. Enough to where Yoshi had to reduce peoples Gil down to 10% of what they originally had (we're talking billions) for the launch of ARR.
So while YOU may only have 30k, other Legacy players can easily have hundreds of millions of Gil. This explains the disparity in housing prices between servers. Allowing them to transfer would be a huge headache. Example: If they were allowed to transfer to one of the "low-tier" servers where houses only cost 6mil, they could easily buy up all the plots as just one example. -

Aye. I didn't realise they had that much money on legacy servers. Oh well, it's ok I guess. I want me one of them sexy houses one day.

02-20-2014, 08:53 AMRassielThis is silly. Our gil was reduced coming into 2.x from 1.x - this is the argument made by people who don't even know what they're talking about.Quote:

I just want to be able to play with my real life friends and do things with them but I'm stuck on a Legacy server with none of my friends to talk to or play with, it's depressing and extremely lonely having to play alone in this game without any of my real life friends.

Lots of legacy characters power leveled all of their disciples of war/magic during 1.23 to 50 with mere hours of effort. This is the reason I rerolled from a legacy server to a regular server. I doubt these restrictions will be lifted any time soon.

02-20-2014, 09:43 AMSeirra_Lanzceyou know.. there plenty of new world ppl who have already capped every class there is to offer.... so there really isn't a difference.Quote:

Not to mention there is how many Legacy Servers? 15 servers out of 50k players were tracked and only 2k+ of players out of 15 Legacy World that have either DoW/DoM all to 50 or all classes to 50 ever.
if you want to say a lot of legacy players how many compare to current population of Legacy world?
if calculated only a handfull of 50 to 140 players per server that actually powerlevel up all the way, and that too to consider did they even come back at all? or perhaps rerolled a new character etc -
