Idea For Legacy Characters to Move to Non-Legacy Servers

Why don't you just have your friends start on your server?

I have a good 10 friends (not RL) or so that I casually play MMORPGS with. All of us started FFXIV and within a month I was the only person left. I'm a casual player to the extreme (I'm a married corporate tax attorney in RL with very little time to play). I managed to get a goobue mount, level BLM to 50 and complete the "Once in a Liftetime" storyline. I've been a Final Fantasy fan my entire life. Thus for completist purposes, I'd like to maintain my "Once in a Lifetime" storyline completion.

I think it would be hard to deny that a large chunk of the legacy server population have all jobs leveled and potentially greatly abused the gil system. My 10 or so MMORPG fans (and likely countless others) do not want to start on a server where everybody is max level and has piles of gil. If they have to play catch-up; they will surely miss out on endgame activities if the legacy population grows tired of certain endgame activities once the non-legacy players catch-up.

That's my dilemma. But as Jillybean and others have said, I'm probably the minority. I just felt that wanting to keep your achievements and play on a non-legacy server might be a much more common dilemma. I guess I was wrong.

Because I have the freedom to with the new subscription model I may make new characters to play around with the different races and starting locations and such, but my old characater will remain my main one.
