A friend of mine, Gungnir Ivaldi, is thinking of taking advantage of the welcome back campaign, but his character was inactive for the past few months and somehow managed to get put on a different server as I'm on. I've looked for the past hour for the possibility of a server change, free or not, so that's my question guys. Can my friend change servers?

I think SE should try to accommodate this and try to place them on the server they wish to be on, its not much of welcome back if the first thing you do is upset your customer lol.

It was impossible for me, according to support and in game GM's. Support is awful right now, been trying for 2 weeks with a similar issue. They'll just tell you to contact one another until your eyes bleed.
"Dear Customer,
Regarding your request for account support. Please find your answer below.
If you missed the application period for world mergers you can contact a GM in game. They are
reviewing transfers on a case-by-case basis."
lolololol not true ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The gm's told me twice that they do not handle these issues, and to contact support. -

if they delete there characters they have everyright to do so its Square's IP not yours mine or anyone else. and you said ok to it when you made your account the terms of service say no explanation need for them to do what ever they want want. SE is atleast doing good business and asking the community what should happen to the game & allowing people to come back without having to make a new character. -

Hrmmm, my friend said he'll look into it in May when the campaign starts. He said he's already angry with them and he hasn't even started downloading all the patches yet haha. It makes sense to allow people to change their server upon reactivating their accounts though :)
We both had a similar problem when we bought Demon souls 2 (Dark souls) and the producers decided to make it impossible to duo with friends so we returned the game.
Thank you for your comments ^.^ -

World transfer was only possible from March 1 (Thursday) to March 19 (Monday), 2012 during the server merge.
Next server transfer service is coming with 2.0 -

Hi guys,
actually i got a similiar Problem.
Some of my friends want to actually join the game (completely new Customers)
The Problem is, that the Server i´m on (Masamune) is already full, but they would like to join my Server because we are IRL Friends. Well, it would be awesome if SE get this situation in mind and offer a solution on this, though i highly doubt it, since the server is full already.
just my 2 cents

Servers are probably locked due to them ballpark estimating how many inactive accounts on each of those servers will come back for the Welcome Back campaign due in a week or two and how much mayhem they will cause by possibly overloading servers. They might release the new character lock once they see the data on how many people reactivated due to the campaign and if the servers have reached capacity in that period of time.

05-01-2012, 12:29 AMAlhanelemIf the servers are full they're full and you'll have to wait. If they make an exception for you and open it up just to let your friend in they'd have to do that for everyone that asked, defeating the whole point of the restriction.Quote:

The servers are "full" because a specific section of Ul'dah (the front area near the teleport crystal) has in the past been consistently overcrowded causing tons of crashes and server issues, since it was where a majority of the population would stand afk or gather together. They added quite a bit of stuff this last patch to spread the population out to other cities and other sections of Ul'dah and are monitoring it to see if the situation clears up.
Hopefully we get an update on it soon because we also have some friends that want to play.
