Transferring from Legacy Worlds

[Leandras]

Legacy players transfering to non-legacy realms reminds me of fallout, when those vault doors open to wasteland. Anyway welcome to those that will transfer!

Think that will stop a lot of people.

Or transfer with items that have a guaranteed value which you can hand in for gil quickly.
On my server one person was buying Allagan Bronze, Silver and Goldpieces for a little over their NPC value so that they could transfer with most of their fortune intact.

If you are transfering with multiple millions a couple 10k loss should be negligible and it's easier than figuring out which items are of equal or better value on the markets.
Apart from that, the market is too unreliable for a strategy like this at the moment.

I, for one, welcome our new Legacy Overlords.

I'm happy on Balmung, thanks.

Yeah I'm pretty sure everyone on a legacy server has more than 1mil gil so it's a non-event lol.

Nope, currently I am looking at about 65k gil. (Plus some stuff on the marketboards and a stable income.)
Granted, I am not a Legacy player myself and over the last few months I have invested all my gil in leveling up my crafting jobs and melding my crafting and gathering jobs.
Which, if we all add it up, does come to several million gil.

lol, same It's still a very busy server (and lots of new people join it all the time), so this has never been an issue for me at all. Though I have no idea what the other Legacy servers are like.

I'm not sure what to think about it. Economy on no-legacy worlds might have time to madure but is still deflationary. Last thing we need is some guys coming with even more HQ crafted gear + hundreds of philo crafting items or any other thing to make prices even lower cause they want to transfer part of their millions selling items here.


I only woud be totally OK with it if they coud only transfer that million and all his items become binded. But...well, it's not my choice

I wonder if Legacy servers will see an influx of people because of this. Don't they have the more stable markets? Any legacy player coming to my server to sell things will be greatly disappointed. ^^;

I think they've actually timed it as best as they could since i90 crafted gear is about to kick in. The potential influx of money is going to be met by desirable new gear to spend it on and hopefully a market boost all the way down the chain due to the boosted market for materia.
