2019 Free Transfers Data Split - Apartments

Hello,

Since today we had EU Data Centres split, I wanted to move to my friends who happen to end up on different data centre.

I would like tho, to ask about one thing:

Your character must not own any land, estate, or apartment housing.

Therefore I can't own the apartment at the moment of applying for transfer? Do I have to take out all furnitures both from apartment and the storage?... it will be kind of hard... as I don't have much space left (plus I had to take items from shared house...).

Maybe somebody already transferred and could clarify for me. Will be very grateful for more info/explanation.

If I remember correcly, you can just transfert anyway (when you do the transferring, they will tell you that you own an appartment, and tell you that you will have a compensation of 500k + 500k for the furnishing you might have lost).

But if you don't take the furnitures in your inventory or your retainers, they will be lost. If you don't have much space, I'd suggest taking the ones that are expensive and/or rare (event furnitures for exemple) first.

Maybe someone can clarify but I believe this is it :)

Oh no, it's what I have feared...

But thank you for the info and help :) If so, I may leave some items to my other friends who stay on old server.

Correct, any furniture left in the apartment and its storage will be lost, so stuff your bags/retainers before initiating a transfer.

You will only get compensation for your apartment/estate if you are either moving to a New world (there are no new worlds at the moment) or transferring from a Congested world to a Preferred World.

I transferred this afternoon wilst my estate was still on and got a compensation. The world I went to wasn't perferred or anything, as far as I know. Maybe it's something special for the server split ? They did say people transferring would get compensation.

Right you are. That is special for the free transfer period following the data center split.

if your billing cycle is due soon you might be able to stock up on prorated retainers use the space to move your stuff then cancel them before next cycle.

Hahaha 500k for furniture. That's cute. A combed woolen rug alone is like 700k on my server. Make that more like 30 mil for furniture...

Yeah I know, not really worth it but I guess it's better than losing everything :(

The 500k is for furniture you can't pick back up. That rug you can though inventory space is an issue I agree

Or just pick it up/make the space for it.

The compensation is for items you can't pick up (like half eaten food items). Anything you can pick up you should. If you don't have the room, don't transfer until you've made room to pick it up (or know that you will lose it).

Like others already said, what are you at risk of losing if you think first?

Paintings in picture frames - those are only 1k each.
Flowers in vases - 500-700 gil for the majority of colors, maybe a few thousand if you're dealing with rng for white/black/rainbow
Fish in aquariums - cost of bait if you fish yourself, most are pretty cheap on the MB if you don't.
Partially consumed food items.
Wall coverings on blank partitions - this is where the bulk of the lost gil would occur since other expensive interior fixtures could be replaced with very cheap items so they would go back into your inventory.

If someone isn't ditching those stacks of cheap potions in their inventory so they can use those slots their expensive housing items instead, they're doing it wrong.
