Server Transfer?

[Jaeral]

....

Like Dremic pointed out(even tho his words could have been more carefully picked ), it was announced on their twitter which was generally the source they would post information to first. On FFXIV.com there's even a button on the upper left for it and a live twitter feed with the newest information. So your friends would only have to had visited ffxiv.com.

So you are complaining that server transfers cost money at all? Or are you complaining that you have to pay in this special case which some believe is your own fault to begin with?

@Zynol: Yes i know what you mean. My friends and me had the same issue about joining Sargatanas but we communicated to each other and they will make new characters as soon as possible and/or transfer.

I would agree with you if the server notice said, "Check our twitter, or google what is happening". But it didn't. I don't use twitter. Unless it told me to I wouldn't have gone there. I didn't expect the game to lie to me so when it said the server's character creation was closed I didn't think, "They might be lying perhaps I should google it, and look it up on their twitter".

The fact that we are paying between 30-80 dollars and then 10-15 a month for a game and then they are going to charge us more money for a service we would only need because of the system they implemented.

@ Crovax: Maybe that's just me and my inquisitive personality but when something is not working like intended(and i'd count locked servers into that) the first question that pops up for me is usually: Why?
Therefore i'd check the official sources and/or create a character on another server but with knowing the risk i might have to delete it at some point
On another note: Had a talk about this subject with a friend of mine on Skype and i'll cut myself outta the conversation here

If this was an Indie game I might do that. But from an AAA Title if they say the servers character creation is locked-I would believe them. Now if they said it is Temporarily locked THEN I would have gone to their website/forums to figure out for how long these waits are.

But I definitely would not have told my friends, "Don't play at all until you can join me". The disdain comes from the fact that they have the ability to remedy this but instead of doing that they are going to ask for money to do it. Even though we are already paid them and will be continuing to pay them.

Will this stop me from playing? Probably not. But it is clearly a greedy move on their part.
