When moving all data from one server client to another.. it takes quite a bit of time to do, far worse the Server merging ( which took a day with all the Extended Maintenance and all and that was only Merging worlds.. this is a whole different ball game.. All the data from Characters, world itself, Maps, Quests/missions/Primals/Dungeons/ 2.0 content... this is no day job.. 3 days at least.. but with all the expected problems I feel will occur.. it will probably take a week.

Again, these are not sources or accurate answers.. but this is whats to expect though something along these lines. SE can take all the time they need.. as long as its for the good of FFXIV, I don't mind at all.

That's what I was looking for.

I paid to get legacy even though i dont play haha

Wouldn't it be interesting...if you actually died...but your spirit is reborn in this new world...2.0 and you possess some items and knowledge...and skills from your past.

Those that played prior to 2.0 would carry over some levels and all their items but the game would start from square 1...hypothetically.

I know they said that we wouldn't lose our progression...but what if we didn't per say and got an elite class character type unique for 2.0 starting...

You do, do it a lot though XD

But I agree, 3 days minimum I think, moving data from 1 game to the next, it isnt easy as just copy/paste because likely the new servers use character data differently, some of the data will be altered, converted, and so on. they already said about the whole quest thing and we will have to go retalk with people, and ofc the inventorying be changing so they have to split your items to an NPC who will be holding some (that will cause drama) so there is a lot of work to do!

They will also need to get new servers up, tho that wont take long as no data on it. Do final tests and such.

took, what? 10 hrs or something for normal server merge when it first happened, this is moving to a whole new system! I think 3 days is plenty.

You guys think what you want, I know who I am and what I do, and that all that matters to me. so bleep bleep to you :P.

But yeah, of course I don't know how long SE is going to take because the time isn't here yet, All I can offer in terms of experience is how long it takes to move data of different types ( possibly) from 1 server to the next. For all we know they could have it up in 1-2 days.. but when I think rationally and logically about what they have to be transferring, ( Characters data "making sure not a single Character gets lost, which will take the most time since its the most crucial thing they need to do out of all this.") If they lose even a handful of character data it could mean trouble for them (maybe).

Then they have the Transfer ALL data from the games 1.0 (whatever they are bringing along to 2.0 anyways) and 2.0 content itself, along with its Maps, Missions, etc. Its just not logical to even think they can do it in a days time. I mean if they do it faster then what I'm imagining then great props to them . I'm only giving the logical side of things.. if they do it better then my logic.. That's fine.. that just means we get to play 2.0 faster! .

Anyways, that is my input I'm not pulling no magic bunny out of my hat that's holding up a card saying " FFXIV will be down for 3+ days" Just stating what I feel to be the most rational. ( I hope SE proves me wrong though).
