Old Players, New Worlds - A problem arises?

[Azurymber]

At one point, the server you are currently on had 0 gil in it's economy too. They will be fine.

so basically you're saying that if nearly every player on one server gets super cool houses, and nearly every player on the other server has no chance to get them for 3-4 years, that's totally cool and won't create any problems?

You guys really need to get laid or something. You are getting a new game, and keeping all of your crap. What difference does it make if you don't get to move to a new server right away? Just enjoy your goddamn new game.

I'm really surprised that they're not just simply wiping all characters and letting customers keep their old names. It would have been a lot simpler then dealing with all the gil reduction and other non-sense.

Nobody is going to have max gil in 2.0 from the start. Even if somebody has 999,999,999 gil right now, thier gil will be reduced to 99,999,999 and the cap is staying at 999,999,999.

Would you guys please stop creating threads envisioning problems where there are none? Please, for our sanity's sake!

I completely agree and I approve of ^ message.

And Rubina? No.... Just... no.

We will be setting up fresh new Worlds for the new players so that they build the economy from the ground up and if an existing player wanted to play on a new World, they would have to create a new character on that World.

New players wanting to play with existing players will be able to create a new character on their World as long as the population limit has not been reached. We currently have no plans of setting up a new World where existing players can transfer to right at launch.

I thought we were getting regional servers. Looks like you guys changed your mind?

Does this mean we have to make a new character if we want to play on our regions server? don't tell me you guys listed to the qqing here... It's such a small, and bad portion of the playerbase.

You can't just come in here and make an ambiguous post like that and then leave us hanging... Considering it seems to be in direct contradiction to another post made by a community rep a few weeks ago regarding regional servers, wont you fill us in?

What is happening is that they are placing different worlds in different physical locations, but none of them is going to be region-locked. So if you want to play on a server physically located on germany, despite living on japan, you can. Or you could go and pick the japanese server that is located closer to you.

Yes, no problem. We have the luxury of starting out a new game with lvl50 characters already. Had FFXIV's 1st release had all these cool things, you and I would have had to wait until being able to obtain them as well, instead of coming into it with millions of gil.

Then you transfer to one of the worlds that exists today that was moved to your region. Simple. They said we couldn't transfer to the new worlds, but we can still transfer to a world that existed in 1.0.
