I don't know if it been answer already but I cannot find any evidence on these. There is only less than two weeks left on the game before must people leave and wait for 2.0. It is been confirm we are getting regional servers. So these are my questions to the Devs.
Does SE has a list of what Server is going where?
Must of my friends including me would like to be in a NA server, It would be really disapointing to log in at launch of ARR and be in a EU or JP server. Plus it would be nice to have the list to discuss with friends what NA everyone would like to move to.
It is been confirm that SE will have new server for new characters only. Why has SE not provided any information on how or even when currently players that have been tag along with Final Fantasy all these time can move to a local server?
It is going to be hard to try to coordinate with friends on the server or servers that would like to play together after november and must of the people won't be online.
Does SE even have a plan for the current player base at launch of ARR?
Question for DEV Servers in ARR?

You'll get that information. With time. There's no reason people need to know that stuff now, not like you can transfer or anything, so I don't know why are all the topic popping up today... well I do know, but I can't post that :p

So let's say SE gives the information next year in January that Sargatanas is going to be a EU server, when you log in it gives you a choice to move or to stay and that you will not be able to move again until 6 months later. How are you going to find out if the people you play with are moving to a different server or are going to be find been in a server that some of your friends are already gone and it gives you a worst lag and the JP server?
If all of the servers stay in Japan I would not have a problem with that, it is the lag of information since we are having regional servers that concernds me. -

That's called pointless speculating. We don't know how the whole system will work so there is no point in guessing just yet. No point in sweating about things too fast, but if you want to then you are free to do so :p

I don't understand why new servers will be for new players only, but I have read that current players won't be able to move. But contary to this they want to give us the option to play on a server that is near our geographical location, but to do this we would potentially have to start a freash if our current world is not in our location.
To me this does not make sense!
Also It would be nice to know what will be what before the servers shut to try and coordiante moves, if we are aloud to move that is! -
10-24-2012, 04:24 AMAlhanelemThe current servers aren't changing. No current server is going anywhere. New servers will be added in each region. Unfortunately, it was officially stated that current players would not be able to immediately move to these servers- they would be open for new character creation only at launch.Quote:

But if SE is actually going to move some of the current servers to other location and make a even worst lag for current players that have stick with XIV all these time is just wrong.Quote:

If the Devs confirm that current servers will stay in Japan and current players will not be allow to move at the start, so be it and we can deal with that. But if some time later they say: We decided to make a current base player server for each region where current players can move so they can play without lag. Then how in the world you going to get in contact with everyone. Stay or leave, loss friends or stay closed to best friends? Oh look I stay in the server and have of the NA players left.
That is all I ask, having some type of confirmation good or bad before November 1. -

Wait... I remember this differently. I remember it being said we'd all get to move our characters to any server we wanted to (MINUS THE NEW PLAYER SERVERS [which we will only be able to transfer to after they establish economies]) but we will have regional servers available for us that our friends who are just starting CAN join.

I am currently on Excalibur.
If Excalibur remains in Japan, they will most likely allow me to change to an "Existing World" (in name only) that has been relocated to NA. -
10-24-2012, 09:18 AMShougunThat sounds like we can switch servers twice?Quote:

Since we're talking about the servers here can we get an update on something Yoshi-P said awhile back? In an interview when he was asked about the roleplaying community he mentioned he wanted to add in a RP server at the launch of ARR. Will this still happen or will there be a designated server after all for RPers? If so, could you tell us if it would be just a single server or if there might be one for each region? Thank you~

I hope I'm understanding this right. But from what I understood, we do get to transfer servers but only to the current existing ones.
Basically like moving from Besaid to Ragnarok will be allowed but not Besaid -> New ARR server.
I hope it's something like that because I want to transfer to Ragnarok at ARR launch. But I think I read in the past that we weren't going to receive a character transfer during the starting period(like first month(s) ). Which made me quite sad back then. I don't know if a DEV or someone else could confirm this.
Edit: NVM, I read the linked posts of Bayohne and it already answers my questions. Guess it's just wait and see. While hoping that we get a free server transfer ticket to the existing servers at launch. -
10-24-2012, 09:44 PMFedeMax
I would be nice to have some clarification of what is going to happen at ARR with the current servers, at least find out if they are going to stay in JP since current players will not be able to transfer. But with the post of Rukkirii, it sounds we are not going to have any answer until close to Beta.
Rikkirii:
Before we finalize details for current players wishing to transfer, we'll need to consider how we'd want to handle returning players. We'll be looking at the options with regard to the Beta Test conditions.
Some of you have been asking about the bullet point we mentioned during the FINAL FANTASY 25th Anniversary Event Special Talk Session about “improving the amount of freedom of world transfers” -- this meant that we will be setting up a world transfer service similar to FFXI.
I would think that SE would have made the current players regional servers a priority or at least make a poll to see how many players would have move to a local server to get some numbers. Plus it is going to take several months to allow players to move to the new servers since a new economy those not grow in a day.
If the current player base servers stay in JP, I am guessing, including me; will not move since it is not going to be allow until after serveral months and players will get use to the lag of ARR unless it is worst than the current game. -

Purpose of Currency Redenomination
When the current version of FFXIV was first designed, we were forced to inflate item prices to properly balance the prices for consumable items, such as arrows and fishing lures.* This is no longer necessary, as this type of consumable item will not be used in FFXIV: ARR.
*1 The price of one arrow was originally indexed against the cost of one sword at a rate of 1 to 1000. For example, if a gladius were priced at 200 gil, the equivalent level warped arrows would be priced at 0.2 gil each. However, because decimal pricing is not possible, prices would have to be rounded to the nearest whole number, rendering it comparatively expensive to be an archer. This problem was addressed by increasing all item prices by a factor of ten.
In conjunction with the removal of player-operated bazaars in FFXIV: ARR, all items and gil in player bazaars at the time the servers go down will be returned to player inventories. This includes gil which is being offered in the ‘seek item’ section of a bazaar. Because of this, it is possible that the resulting gil total may exceed the limit of 999,999,999. Therefore, this change also ensures that players will not lose any gil.
That said, this currency redenomination is primarily intended to reduce the excessively large values used in all transactions. We would like to reiterate that the effective purchasing power of your savings will not be reduced.
- Summary -
The last digit was for ammunition only, with a currency redenomination and taking away a digit, we are able to work with smaller numbers making it easier to manage. You will NOT be loosing money, a sword that was 1,000 gil is now 100 gil. So if you had 1,000 gil in your pocket you will now only have 100.
EVERYTHING is loosing a digit, so your actual amount of money you hold technically is the same, just one less-digit along with the rest of the economy. -

I hope a decent amount if new players come to existing servers. My friend and I were looking forward to making a free company focused on helping new players and building a semi small tight knit group

IF they would do the route of saying this server goes to NA... then they would either shut that server down for like a week or 2...
OR... DO a Save Maintenance on the game, then go and set up new servers in NA, then in the course of a day or so... (depending on Internet Speed).... Transfer ALL Game Data over to the NA office....
All this sounds so time pressed other then just setting up the new servers in NA and then just making it available for new Character Creation only for the first few months so the Economy can be properly built.
Also People should not freak out because I am sure the Latency of the Servers should not be as bad as they are now in 1.0...
Dude... you totally missed what the Community Team said... They already answered this question...Quote:

FFXIV has a huge negative stigma to overcome. It may be likly that the game won't attract many new players and a lot of these fresh start regional servers could be pretty much ghost towns.
Have devs taken this into consideration? -

We are all getting "New Servers". The 1.0 servers were crap. SE bought brand new servers with a different structure to host the 2.0 game. They are shutting down the 1.0 servers in order to transfer all our character data over to the New Servers. After the transfer is complete they may bring the old servers back online for peeps that still want to play till the New Servers go Live.
We are not all getting "New Worlds". The New Worlds are reserved for New Players at time of launch (we may be allowed to transfer later). These New Worlds will have New Names (different from what we currently have).
The "Existing Worlds" (Excalibur, Balmung, Gungnir, etc.) will be on New Servers but (here is the highly speculative part), some of them will be located in NA, EU or JP (probably based on current player ratios/%'s).
I couldn't find it but I remember Yoshi said that when we log into the new client, we will have the option to choose an "Existing World" located in our region however, I think they have walked this back and we may have to wait "a short time" untill they determine how many "existing accounts" return to the game at launch.
I do recognize the one major flaw in my argument in that for this to work they would either have to transfer our character data to each Existing World ahead of time or we would have to wait untill our transfer is "approved" to be able to log in.
I'm sorry for the long, rambling post (now I have a headache) so I'll just shut up now and wait for a clarified Official Response. -

10-25-2012, 05:39 PMGentaroI don't wanna be pushy, but the only realistic chance for many linkshells to discuss a serverchange is while the servers are still running. But for that, they need more information. It would be sad to see linkshells falling apart because the info about the new servers is being released too late.Quote:
