Sorry man, I feel for you, but they said repeatedly that Legacy will not be able to transfer to new servers for quite a while. They have valid reasons for this, especially after the recent actions regarding RMT.

I know that you personally, as an underdeveloped 1.0 character would most likely not be an economic problem (not having millions of gil even after the redenomination); but the majority of 1.0 characters would cause economic stress if they were able to transfer. They're making a blanket decision to not allow these transfers until all economies are stabilized. Not necessarily fair, but probably far better than using their resources to individually review transfer requests for approval.
