Server transfers "2-3 months out"... Does this change thing for you?

This article says that yoshi has given a 2-3 MONTH time frame for transfers. It's pretty much the killer for me. I understand the servers need to be stable but ill just have to wait for that because leveling a toon that won't be able to play with my friends IF they are still here in 2-3 months isn't acceptable.

This isnt good new at all. New servers will only help if people can transfer to them :/ I had a bad feelign they'd delay the september transfers with all the work they've got going on but 2 months is too long to wait.

I guess rolling a new toon to play with your friends is too hard for those who want everything handed to them on a server platter, yeah?

Stay positive and patient, and good things will come yeah? :)

Seems fine to me, it doesn't take that long to level a toon, most in my free company are 40+ already, some are grinding fools where like me with stuff to do other than game etc level 28 among many others are low level and taking there time with game....

Um. I've been patient. I've been trying to get on my friends server since beta. At some point I'm just not interested in the battle any longer. It's a game that I wanted to play with my friends. I'm not interested in playing it by myself until they magically unlock Gilgamesh and let me on.

Hm, this conflicts with what they have on their website, stating that transfers are scheduled to begin mid-September. If it really will be October-November that transfers will open, I'll be a bit upset since my roommate and I weren't able to get on the same server, but we figured waiting until sometime in September wouldn't be a problem. Waiting until midterm season would be a downer.

Here's hoping to the transfers opening ASAP.

2-3 months out is probably talking about LEGACY Transfers.

I'm fairly certain there was a miscommunication there. I think Yoshi-P was referring to the paid world transfer service. I highly doubt he would have been mentioning anything about the fixes and filling up the new servers that wasn't first announced on the forums/Lodestone. Based on SE's past with this sort of thing there'll be free transfers coming up immediately after the new servers go live. They'll be limited to the new servers more than likely though otherwise it would turn into a cluster***.

I have like 12 toons that I had to start on a new server because I couldn't get on any other server at the time. I'd get in, level to 10 or so, log out, and never get back in on the server. Today I am getting a 1017 just getting into the character list. Flat out, saying "want everything on a sliver platter" is about as smart as saying "you can get into every server, what are you whining about?"

I think the server problems are also preventing players from creating new characters on new servers, so the solution for friends trying to group up is not as simple as creating a new character on an agreed-upon server. Meanwhile, everyone is just continuing to play and level and hoping their progress won't be wasted. We'll see if the server problem gets fixed by Wednesday.

As for server transfers, I believe the Legacy servers are opening up after 6 months. I'm not certain about what their plans for 2-3 or mid-september are. Maybe they will be able to make some progress in it and give us an actual date once they finish patching up the server and data centers.

Oh man, my friends and I were going to roll on Gilgamesh. They started rolling there in the last beta and a few of us could not get on. Once early release started up, we all decided to just reroll on Siren. Not an RP server, but at least we're playing.... sometimes. :/

The game has been out for about a week and you're already threatening to quit because something that wasn't planned to be available to mid-September is getting pushed back further. Doesn't sound very patient to me, yeah?
