Duuno about you guys......

But I feel bad for the people that missed the world transfer. Everytime I look on the NA JP forums I see people making posts trying to find the last few english players on the server (EX: Ridill). Can't help but feel sad.

I don't feel sad for them. Just like getting Legacy, the option was there for a long time, if people missed it, it's their own lazy fault.

Snooze and you lose

They'll be able to transfer eventually

Yeah, I hope so :'(

Pretty much this, if it was a big deal to them they would have payed attention to the news if they knew they would return to the game. SE sent emails etc for those that didn't check the lodestone or forums.

Would be nice for SE to allow those who haven't used their server transfer yet the opportunity to do so (to servers with space available).

I doubt everyone coming back (EA/Opening) or did come back to say phase 3 or 4 realized the the deadline. Not taking action on which you didn't know action must be taken isnt lazy -_-.

Although its hard to allow for too many people to server change now, specially without restrictions, for the first month at least because the servers are going to get slapped every which side and having randoms rocking the boat wouldn't help anyones experience.

I thought there was to be another server transfer few months after launch, once the game settled down. Not sure if that was paid though...


Also those server applications should be in game and not out of game :/ (we who stay updated via forums are very easily and obviously not the majority, and via website I assume is the same case).

I liked their character change for 1.0 players, it was "HERE IS YOUR CHARACTER CHANGE, RIGHT HERE" .. maybe they should even add a captcha lol

They sent a lot of emails on this though, multiple times even. So there was a lot of notice. Besides the entire process took like 5 minutes and you had a couple of weeks to do it.

If only SE had sent out multiple emails to alert people of the world transfers.

Honestly what I think is offical server transfers (Legacy to Legacy) should be available at launch. There really is no excuse to not have them. There were a lot of legacy players who were not interested in playing the beta or would read the forums and stuff and follow every little detail about FFXIV. People say they sent emails but a lot of those get blocked by spam filters or placed in junk mail and never see them.

Now people stuck on JP servers will have to wait 2-3 weeks to transfer their characters. It is kind of a turn off for some Legacy people coming back to try out the game only to find out they are stuck on a JP server with very few English speaking players to play with.

SE should just make everyone happy and have the transfer service set up on day one so people can start playing again with their friends.

Totally disagree with this. Some people don't have the time to follow a video game, especially when you couldn't even play for a long period of time. Many 1.0 players quit early on and forgot about the game, maybe only got interested in August, now they're stuck on JP servers.

Sure if you're a hardcore fan you would know about it, but if you're only mildly interested in the game you got screwed.
