Please Give Us Server Transfers

I made the mistake of rolling on Gilgamesh (NA). Not only can my friends not create and character and play with me, but I can't even play my own character. PLEASE GIVE US THE OPTION TO MOVE OUR CHARACTERS TO A DIFFERENT SERVER! Hell, I would start playing on a JP server if it means I can actually log into this game.

Sounds like even when/if this does blow over, I still won't be able to play with friends due to a locked server. How was I supposed to predict that would happen when it got locked in about a 2hr window. I suggest transfers be available very soon to even out server populations and do not charge for them. This is not our fault.

No way they will allow us NA/EU folks to transfer to the JP servers simply because those are running flawlessly and ours are... well... broken....
Though they claim they are fixing things (for the fourth time) they infact are feeding us bull.... No sorry that is a lie on my part, they do not even give us any info so how can it be bull?

Early access is going to get me like a 8 hour head start whoopdee doo lol..I just want to be in the congested zones on release.

Since I cannot log into my NA server, I have decided to create a character on Valefor (JP) and sit idle there. If everyone does the same, maybe we can get their attention by putting pressure on their precious JP servers.

here here ... free server transfers cause SE cant get there shit right like crap I'm paying to sit in a que or worse still be locked out!!!!!

Most of my guild got on Leviathan, and registration there has been closed (save maybe a grand total of 30 minutes) since the second day of beta phase 4. Welcome to beta phase 5 I guess? Can't wait for launch...

Anyways, we've got some VERY angry people unable to play with the rest of the guild. It's one thing to have a buggy launch, or server stability issues, but I've never had so many issues with character creation on an MMO launch in the last decade. Server transfers would be great. Some communication other than "tough titties make a character on a low pop server" would be acceptable. This is a clusterfuck.

I think if they didn't list which servers were JP and which were NA/EU, then players would spread out better and there would be less strain on some servers. They probably didn't expect so many NA/EU players and that's why there are problems. :\

The most stupid thing is how the hell do we know whats low pop honestly theres nothing telling anyone what the current pop of the sever is ... take wow it tells you full med or low so when creating a character you know straight away if you start on a full server then your going to be queuing but with SE its blind luck then lock you out!!!! honestly i knew there would be problems but not to this extent so now the character that i have played with for most of the ea is on a server that is locked out to me.. sad to say i think this game will flop again if they dont pull there heads out of the sand and do something fast!!!

I went to bed early friday night and got up at 4:30 AM Eastern...specifically to increase my chances of (hopefully) getting on Leviathan at EA since I couldn't get on there during Beta4.

Couldn't even get a server list to show up until 5:45 AM...and 3 servers were already locked, one of them Leviathan. 45 minutes after launch. A 4th was locked by 5:59. So, within 1 hour of launch, 4 servers were locked down... and remained that way since. Last time I tried, only 2 servers were open for new accounts--TWO @#$@#$ servers.

How the h3ll are we supposed to meet up with friends (a point put out there in the promos, by the way) with this kind of crap going on?

Server Transfers would be great. I'm a big advocate for that as a way to de-ophan guildies and friends who haven't been able to log into the same servers together.

Server transfers will be up on the 27th apparently.

Mid to late September actually... they brought it up in the Live Letter a couple weeks back. Forget exactly what was said, but it was expected something like 3 weeks after launch. Will poke around to see if I can find it again. Not much else to do... "server is full.... try again later".

Well I don't really think the servers are full.. the try again later is nothing more then an error that ALL servers are getting. So a server transfer is..well your jumping ahead to soon. Give them some more time it will all work out.

I sincerely hope they've done a 180 on that approach since then. This is a joke of a launch currently, and locked server registration is chief among reasons why. I've never seen an MMO launch handle server queueing and registration so poorly... Ever...

Not just NA transfers, but FREE NA transfers are NECESSARY and a lot sooner than 3 weeks from now. I managed to convince 4 people to purchase this game. 3 of them landed on other servers, none of us can play together. The 4th person has an all black launcher and can't log in, probably a local computer problem.

Anyhow, allowing us to carry our characters over from phase 4 BETA and then not allowing our friends to join the servers due to capacity was a horrible idea. Now we either have to reroll, or wait for transfers. If you decide to charge for transfers in the beginning, I'm pretty sure we will all quit and charge back to amazon for the game. It's one thing that your having technical troubles that don't allow us to log in, but to charge for transfers with all of these problems is a slap in the face.

Q: Are you planning to have a world transfer service?

---

A: As this is a game with world barriers, there are a variety of situations that may arise. You could meet a friend that happens to play XIV, but your servers are different and you want to play together. Or you could make a friend while using the Duty Finder and wish to switch over to their world, so we'll be providing a world transfer service for these occasions. This will be a fee-based service that will allow you to transfer to the world of your choice, and it will be possible to transfer up to 8 of your characters. We plan on launching this service around 2-3 weeks after launch.

liked to never find it... stupid forums bogging so bad. Found it in reinheart's twitch stream where he typed the translation in real time faster then I could get the @#$@#$ pages to load on the forum's site. But.. that's the "official" translation.

ASAP :eek:

been trying to log in all day.... considering starting a new char but would really rather transfer my current one to a JP server as all NA/EU servers seem to be over loaded and not showing on listing or down :confused:
