Solution to Legacy Players Transferring to Non-Legacy Servers

[Molly_Millions]

I don't think it is irrelevant because i would love to play with all players together legacy or not but maybe i didn't express myself right. It is just that me as a NEW player to this game don't want to be with OLD(Legacy) players together in one server...not primarily because i don't like legacy players(And yes they are legacy and non legacy assholes) it is because i want to discover this game with other NEW players together and fail together not having somebody tell me how to do it or to beat this dungeon and so on(and yes there will be asshole new players there too, i know that). I hope i did express myself right...i am horrible at building sentences sorry

The thing about that is, there will still be new players who will do that too. Every instance is new to all of us, Legacy and non-legacy. The entire game has changed, the way stats work, the way most actions work, every instance, pretty much everything. Like I said, the only difference between a legacy server and non-legacy server in a few months will be the vanity items.

Hehe...one of the reasons I can't reroll and leave my 1.0 character. I just love that Goobbue mount!

Agree. I don't want all my hardwork to go to waste as well. I'm very disappointed with all the insecure players on this thread that are against legacy players. The only thing legacy players will have over new players are very few vanity items. Levels and gears will be equal faster than you think. My characters mostly has "dated" gears which is vastly inferior than what ppl get now in the new version. The reason most legacy players wants to transfer is to be with friends and nothing else.

I actually don't want to leave masamune but SE keeps on locking this server most of the time that my friends can't seem to create a character here and decided to make their characters on Tonberry which is similar to Masamune in terms of population (oceanic, NA player mix). Now about ppl saying why don't we just create new toons in a new server for it to feel really new? Well why should I let other ppl tell me which character to enjoy? I enjoy my old character, he only has 2 lvl 50s and my archer started at level 20 during phase 4, and I even did not level him. I just enjoyed the new quests etc doing level 1 quests, FATES etc. So to say legacy players won't play the game like its new is nonsense. Everything is new.

you may not all be cheaters but too many of y'all are and also if someone on a new server races to 50 to get his or her stuff in the market first at outrageous prices so be it because that fits in with the fresh experience of a new server. Ive seen legacy threads on beta forums advertising to new players that there will be established markets , established fc , ls etc on legacy servers and to me that all sounds like handouts, why do that when you can start on a new server that doesn't have anything established at day 1 and help build and establish those things like the economy on a new server?

No one is forcing you to join established FCs you can create your own and build it at your own pace. the markets will be the markets whether there are legacy players in it or not. It will all boil down to supply and demand. too much supply will results in low price and low margin which will discourage ppl at first to sell, farm etc. but then it will balance out and there might be instances of too much demand over supply etc etc.

Legacy servers are the only servers worth playing on, don't know why anyone would leave. Legacy or gtfo

ppl transfer for a lot reasons. They want to be in a server that is less congested, more new ppl to meet, BETTER PING/LATENCY, and most important of all TO BE WITH FRIENDS who can't enter legacy servers cuz it is congested and therefore locked by SE most of the time. Altho yea legacy servers are nice, but to each his own ya? )

The only thing that confuses me is the legacy players who want to transfer to play with friends who haven't played the game before. Wouldn't it be more fun to level up with them rather then follow them around as a level 50?
It's not like you'd have to delete your legacy character and you could just transfer it over when the time comes.

my reason for not wanting legacy players on new servers is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VlD624cMVI (not saying all legacy players did do this but too many of y'all did)

Omg, what is with trolls and this issue?

I didn't have anything I felt like lvling at the time so I didn't PL, but there was no content in the game so everyone was just doing random stuff out of boredom.

Plus I don't think many people realize how much this game changed since the initial launch, but the lvls never reset.

So before more people flame out over PL'ing in 1.0, leveling changed and the exp you gotten has changed so much that it really DOESNT MATTER. Sometime you could level fast, other times things got slowed down. We also had a fatigue system for awhile that slowed down xp after x amount gained.

Hey chocobocharmer you might want to check your profile on the lodestone and figure out everyone can see your history including how long it took you to level before claiming not to PL. I am not sure how much easier 1.23 was to level but being from 1.0 getting characters from 45 to 50 in 2-3 days seems kind of impossible. Also would point out you did not level any classes over 35 in the 3 months you played in 1.0 so I highly doubt you had much experience with the fatigue system to say anything about it.
