How much do you think server transfers should cost?

Some people will want to move around once server transfers become avaiable maybe they want to move to their own regions server, but how much will they cost?

In FFXI they cost $25, which if you asked me is a bit expensive these days. However in Rift they are free and you can server transfer every 7 days.

How much do you think server transfers should cost in FFXIV?

I personally feel that they SHOULD NOT offer server transfers after the initial launch of ARR. Server transfers allow server hopping as long as they pay the fee. Even if they put a cooldown time for transfers it still doesn't stop people from jumping servers after the time period. At the end of the day it ruins the server community and some servers end up being much lower in population than others. We saw this a lot in WoW when whole guilds would transfer because the other servers were more populated. I personally like it in a game where I can play for an extended period of time and see the same names and people I've been playing with for years.

But again, I am not against initial server transfers. Once people get settled they should be locked into that given server.

yoshi-p said he wont add it too 1year+ from release or when there very high demand so there no issue there. Yoshi-p know the issue you talking about they would only be one world switch and that the day 1 of FFXIV when we remake our account and pick if we like to go to a NA,EU,JP world. But like you said once people get settled that when yoshi-p would release a way to switch world he believe there no point of it from day one so pick your world you really want to be in because you wont have other chance for a while.

There will be server transfers to existing servers. 1.0 Excalibur becomes 2.0 Excalibur, 1.0 Ridill becomes 2.0 Rydill, New 2.0 Server named Kefka is created. Players can transfer from Excalibur to Ridill and Ridill to Excalibur, but not from Either to Kefka. He said we would have to wait a long time to transfer exsiting characters to any of the new-name servers.

I dont think server transfers should cost any money either.

i think what he meant by that that you can't transfer to any of the new world that are made for starting char. Also he said we could switch to a NA,EU,JP world so i think that would happen start of 2.0 it just be dumb that we have to wait to switch to a NA world when there no issue in making one for old players.
