"There are no characters available for a World Transfer." Help!!!

Hello I'm recent to the game at about 6 days or so? or 7, I forget, and I want to transfer my character to one of the RP servers now that I've had a chance to get used to things.

EVERY single time I try I get
"There are no characters available for a World Transfer."

I only have one character. She is at least 6 days old and level 11. I've done plenty of quests. I own no property, I am not in guilds, there's nothing on marketplace, I don't understand. WHY can I not transfer my character?

Do I have to wait untill the subscription I paid for becomes active? Because I paid for the subscription but there is still the free trial subscription. Do I need to cancel the trial and pay right away?

Please help. I just want to play, I'll pay whatever money is necessary.

I believe you have to go to the mog station and fulfill all the requirements it lists; it might be something arbitrary you might have missed, however, if troubleshooting doesn't work, you may have to try contacting customer service right away, here's the relevant link below, best of luck

Link to cusomer service: http://support.eu.square-enix.com/co...p?id=5383&la=2

Level 11 is not much. you can save yourself $ and just create a new character on another server. If you want to make a char on a populated server wait till the wee hours in the morning to do it.

Conditions for World Transfer
The following conditions must be met in order to transfer a selected character from one World to another:
・You must be the owner of the Square Enix account using this service. I am

・Your character must rehire any retainers carried over from Version 1.0. I don't have any.
・Your character must be logged out outside of any instanced areas. I am

・Your character must retrieve any optional items purchased via the Mog Station from the Delivery Moogle. I don't have any.

The World Transfer Service cannot be used under the following circumstances:
・You do not possess a valid Square Enix account. I do, couldn't be posting here otherwise, right?
・You have not yet created a character for FINAL FANTASY XIV, and have not transferred a character from Version 1.0. I have, not sure how I'd want to transfer otherwise
・Your character has been transferred from Version 1.0, but has not logged into a World since the start of official service for FINAL FANTASY XIV. They're not
・Your character has yet to complete the quest Close to Home. I have
・Your character is not displayed on the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station's service account selection screen. They are

・Less than three days have passed since last using the World Transfer Service. Never used it.
・Less than three days have passed since the character to be transferred has been created. More then three.
・The character to be transferred has a pending name change that has yet to be processed. No name change
・The character to be transferred has unclaimed items purchased via the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station. No items.
・Your free trial for the service account to be used has yet to expire, and you have yet to be charged a service fee. I've set up a payment, is there anyway to cancel the free trial? This seems to be the only thing I can think of.
・The service account to be used has been suspended due to a violation of the service agreement or suspicious account access. Not

I want to go to Balmung to be with my boyfriend. I know I'll have to pay.

You need to wait for the free trial period to end.
You will encounter similar situations where you just have to wait the full number of days, to be able to X thing on the mog station sadly. (even if you already paid)

There's no way for me to cancel the free days and pay? I Only bought this to be with him because he's so excited about stuff there...that's kind of crushing news. Like if I cancell and restart the account, use a prepaid card, anything? I tried doing the digital service upgrade and nothing, I'm down 50 now and still not able to even play the part I want.

You should at least wait until the patch is complete in the next few days. You'll have a chance at being able to create a new character after a patch drops because no one will be logged in. You'd have to be very quick though, since alot of people will rush to log on for this.

You actually haven't paid for anything yet actually, you can enter you payment information but it won't actually charge the account until the free trial has ended and no there no way to cancel the free trial.

I was just trying to see if there is anyway possible around that. I wanna pay! And I can't find any possible way to get over it, with the whole locked server thing that seems a little harsh

If you buy a gamecard and apply it to your account it'll add those 30 days straight away. I'm not entirely sure if it'll work for what you want though as technically you're still in the 30 free days, but gamecards are basically the only way to force time on in advance since you've already paid for it.

The free trial can be converted to a regular account anytime after the first day. When you buy the game you get 30 days paid for before any additional subscription kicks in. This cannot be accelerated but there is no reason to accelerate it.

I can't quite figure out the problem though - free trial, 30 days after buying the game or regular subscription makes no difference to creating a new character on the server you want to be on - it may take an hour or two to get back to your current level.

I want to be on Balmung. Balmung is locked and only takes players via transfers, I've looked around into that. I don't want 30 free days of being alone, I want to be with the person I got the game for, if you get me. I just want to actually play the game with someone, and the server they're on even if I wait for some tiny obscure window I -can't- get there because its overfull and only takes transfers, unless anyone can find any evidence to the otherwise this is what every single person says.

I read yours the first time....but again, I've been doing my research. Nobody ever gets into Balmung that way, Just gilgamesh, and my problem wasn't wanting to wait for obscure 10 second windows, it was with wanting to be able to pay for a service the store is supposed to provide and finding any possible way to forego a free period I'd rather pay for. I'm guessing this isn't an option however.

Its still possible, but your only other option is to wait.

Not really, Balmung is already overpopulated.

I've created characters on locked servers by waiting until early in the morning - you might try that if you can't transfer. I then deleted them - it was just done as a test.

You can always ask your friend to transfer to your server although if he or she has a free company, other friends there, etc. that isn't the ideal approach.

Good luck.

Well if this is the attitude of the population I could see I was mistaken in my excitement in joining the game. A moderator is free to delete this at their leisure. I apologize for the trouble. And yes Istvana, he wanted me to join up with the people he'd found there so we could rp, every other world we'd been to had no rp or was completely deserted.
