Idea For Legacy Characters to Move to Non-Legacy Servers

[Alhanelem]

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.

Or they could just allow server transfers for all characters after 6 months or a year, at which point the economy on those servers should be established to the point where the legacy player's influence will be minimized.

Agree with this Dude. But I can really careless. ^^

You COULDN'T care less, not could care less.

Yeah but who's going to wait 6 months just to do that?

I like how they're going about it now. My friends all plan to join my server during release. It doesn't need to be more complicated than what it is.

There would have to be a waiting period or there would be no point in having the legacy and fresh start servers at all, it would all be the same.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to start fresh, then you should start completely fresh. You aren't starting fresh if you have completed achievements on your record- it won't make sense and people will think you're cheating (for old achievements that still exist now).

From what I understand, you can transfer once its not considered a brand new server anymore.

(First Dev post.)

When service begins for A Realm Reborn we'll be creating new worlds for new players. For a certain amount of time, existing users will be unable to move to these fresh-start worlds. (This is the information we received, but we'll be trying to get clarification on this later today)

Before we finalize details for current players wishing to transfer, we'll need to consider how we'd want to handle returning players. We'll be looking at the options with regard to the Beta Test conditions.

Some of you have been asking about the bullet point we mentioned during the FINAL FANTASY 25th Anniversary Event Special Talk Session about “improving the amount of freedom of world transfers” -- this meant that we will be setting up a world transfer service similar to FFXI.

(The follow up Dev post.)

Greetings!

I have a bit of follow up information in regards to world selection when A Realm Reborn begins.

For those of you that have friends that are not currently playing and you would like them to play with you, rest easy knowing that new players will be able to select the existing worlds instead of the newly created worlds. However, in the case that there is a large amount of people who come back to the game and the world reaches it population cap, the regular rules will apply and there is a possibility that we will suspend new character creation on these worlds.

Also, for current players, it will be possible to create a new character on the new worlds. However, existing players will not be able to move to these new worlds for a certain period of time.

Hope this helps.

1.0 characters can move to another "legacy" server, but not a new server (for now). This is so fresh new servers with new players will have the chance to start on their own without any prior levels, gil, or items to alter their fresh economy. Legacy, or 1.0 players, are free to make new characters on these new worlds to play with their friends or enjoy the brand new game aspect.

It is expected that later on, perhaps 6-12 months from launch, players who wish to transfer to the new worlds will be able to do so (probably for a fee).

This has been known for months and the now firm and unspeculated details have been posted on the Lodestone last week.

I still think its ridiculous they isolate legacy players due to "economy"
