The "Meteor mark": anyone else come upon this issue?

Also I'm pretty sure when ARR first released you could not transfer from a legacy server to a normal server anyway.

While I don't remember 100%, I think it was the exact opposite. Legacy servers were full and they would have wanted to spread out servers as much as possible. If anything they encouraged legacy players to move to newer servers and didn't allow new players to make characters on legacy servers.

Yeah I don't think you can have the tattoo transferred but as others said, you really don't see it because all armor covers it. Though I thought having the legacy tattoo and legacy chocobo was only for people who had a legacy account and that was only people who payed for 3 months within a designated time in the last year before the game was shut down. Meaning you wouldnt have been able to start the game and quit until ARR launches and have legacy stuff. But from what you guys are saying, it's not linked to a legacy account?
Can anyone confirm having the tattoo and/or the legacy chocobo and either not have a legacy account or had quit the game early until ARR launched?

No, this is incorrect on all accounts.

New players could choose to make a character on a legacy world if they wanted to there was no restriction except if the world was maxed out. (I had friends of mine join my legacy server as new players)

Legacy characters could only transfer to Legacy worlds at the beginning (for example my world from 1.0 was Ridill and it became a Japanese legacy server and I am NA so, like all legacy players, I was given one free transfer to another world, but my choices were ONLY other legacy servers at that time. New worlds were forbidden to me unless I started a fresh character on them.)

SE didn't want legacy characters on new servers due to server economy issues since legacy characters got to keep a portion of their gil from 1.0 which depending on the character could be in the millions of gil. Also having all or simply multiple jobs/crafts at 50 would make the legacy characters have a monopoly on the market board until the new players caught up.

The new servers were fresh start servers that new players could start on in order to have the experience of everyone starting fresh and not having maxed out level 50 legacy players with a lot of gil and resources running around.
