Legacy and Non Legacy Players Cannot Play Together

Please SE: bump up the server xfer date to ASAP. The fact that I can't play with friends who are non-legacy players is a huge issue. People play MMO's to play with their friends which is currently not a possibility for (I'm assuming) a significant portion of legacy status players.

I agree. This is a major issue. half the servers are full and probably a huge chunk of them are beta players who didn't even purchase the game. They need to open the doors again for a bit or let us world transfer...like today.

Uhh... you realize that being a beta tester does NOT grant you early access right? Only people who pre-ordered get early access, and to pre-order you have to pay for the game, so... yeah, sounds like game purchase to me.

You're missing my point. A lot of worlds filled up beta test weekend and were closed upon the start of EA. SE kept these servers closed because they deemed there to be too many accounts on those servers. What i'm saying is that a lot of those accounts are likely beta testers who will never buy the game. I never said they were currently playing during early access.

Anyone who is playing the game right now bought the game.

Also (aside from servers being full currently) there's nothing stopping new players from playing on legacy servers. They won't allow legacy players to play on new servers any time soon, because it's a major deal breaker for a lot of new players. Later down the road (as in way, way later) who knows, but for now all you can do is hope that they open up more slots on the legacy servers.

I didn't say they were playing the game. I'm saying their accounts are currently on the servers and influencing SE to close the servers from new players. Take excalibur for instance. They closed the server from new players last weekend during beta. This morning at 2am PST when the game launched...those servers were still closed. What i'm saying is that a sizeable chunk of the accounts are beta players who don't plan on purchasing the game. I'm saying they shouldn't have defaulted to full at 2am this morning.

Oops, didn't realize the issue was that the server was full....Uh, can this please be changed? I'd really like to play with friends....

Yeah, it is kind of ridiculus to have the server full just because of beta players who is never going to play again.

P.S: Does anyone know what lvl you have to be to start a thread?

I see no reason to restrict servers based on legacy status, most legacy players told friends about the game and now they cannot play together because of the servers being full.

Your game purchase don't start before the 27th. Early Access is a bonus which has cost you nothing extra.

OP: If you want to play with your friends, your friends should join your server.

or u and ur friends can go play on a less populated server =D

lol I was sure this thread was going to be legacy rulz and non-legacy suckz.

Well done op well done.

You do realize that servers were full at the end of Beta 4 and are still locked at EA start means that those Beta 4's pre ordered the game and are playing now. Making this an extremely successful launch.

Also I'm Legacy and I'm playing on a non Legacy server with my Tattoo on display and My Legacy Chocobo Whistle ready for when I get my GC license. So Yes Legacy can play on non legacy. Just have to start from lvl 1

Not all of them are locked to new characters. I was able to create a character on Balmung (NA Legacy) this morning with absolutely no problems.
