Just give us Free World Transfers and we will play in any less populated world

When everything is more balanced people will transfer where they want.. in the mean time we can play even in JP server and transfer later to where our friends are playing.

Is this possible?

PS: btw how do you even get a World transfer? xD

It's likely that they will just ignore us and expect us to pay the server transfer price when they become available. -_-

World transfers aren't available now. Last word was they expected to implement them at a fee sometime in september. Right now, with a RIDICULOUS number of servers constantly locked for character creation, and a few (including my own, Leviathan) seemingly permanently locked, Square-Enix doesn't seem to understand that people want to play with their friends on an MMO. What a joke.

I don't know if they have transfers implemented yet. If they do, I'd gladly play on another server until things settle, then either stay if the server satisfies me, or pay for a transfer back to a larger server several weeks from now.

its not like there are any NA servers that arent 'full' anyway

at best you may get an occasional queue, but by tomorrow, even those will be up shits creek

An unprecedented joke. Hey, what are the odds. I want to get on Leviathan too and it's been perma locked since shortly after EA started! I wish there was some way to get the severity of this message across to Yoshi P. I'm starting to become less than impressed with the dude as I feel he's been handling the whole situation far too poorly. He might single-handedly be responsible for the loss of hundreds or thousands of subs if this persists into the official launch.

Even if they implement world Transfers in September.. we can play normally in any low populated server with some friends and after things settle we can transfer and go where the rest of our friends are.

SE should give us a few Free World Transfers so we can play right now without the terror of error 1037

This. Even Lamia (which was a light-pop server, and was the overflow for our guild) has now blocked registration.

Wanna play with your friends? Tough. All we can do is hope SE responds well to this issue. Gotta keep dreaming I guess...

Indeed. There was a brief moment saturday morning where we got one friend on, but we still have 4 guild-mates unable to get on Leviathan, on an overflow that's locked itself, and ZERO acknowledgement from SE

What are transfers going to do? Try to create a new character and you'll find that only 1 world is currently open to new characters. This is RIDICULOUS!

I am actually laughing right now at how farcical this launch has been. Restrictions on character creation right off the bat. Now way for the player to know if they'll ever be able to log onto the server as we get an error message 1017 constantly.

All I know is I'm not paying for a server transfer, because they don't know how to design appropriate network measures. I would sooner not play at all. They need to unlock the servers, keep a queue, and/or offer free transfers to people so that people can play together. They can also add something akin to friend passes in Final Fantasy XI. This is a total and utter oversight on a whole other level.

^ I wanna cry. I've been refreshing for two going on three days, but I think I'm wasting my time at this point because the server seems perma-locked.

No kidding, and that's exactly what I'm afraid of with our guild. We're a tight group but tempers run hot with messy MMO launches and not even being on the same server is a problem I haven't had to endure in over a decade of MMO launches. Even the FFXI system had a solution to this. THIS is a joke.

My hope is that restrictions get lifted for the official launch tomorrow (speaking of, any clue what time that is?)

Fingers crossed.

I really don't think the servers are full...if so this is not even launch so tomorrow and on will be far worse. They would have added new serves by now if it was because of full. The reason I believe is because we get no "CUE" which tells me there is more going on that we don't know of.

They blamed it on the lack of optimization with the NA/EU servers, since they aren't handling them personally. That seems to be their go to response to these situations. Place the blame on anyone but themselves, usually in the direction of North America. Game doesn't sell? It's north america's fault. Game doesn't work? North America!

And when a lot of people go the transfer route, how many weeks will your character be locked while the transfer character server gets overloaded? Maybe they will just throttle it to handle 1 transfer per day.

I am really trying to just laugh about all of this. But it gets harder.

No kidding. If things don't get miraculously fixed by tomorrow, this will end up as the worst MMO launch I've ever been a part of.

Overloads I get. That shit happens. But the lack of communication? These "sorry just deal with it" apologies? Not having functioning server queues? and really, not being able to play with my friends in an MMO?! why am I playing your game Square Enix? Please remind me.

I made three new characters. One on a US, one on an EU, and one on a JP server. None can log in. There are no empty servers.
