NA / EU / JP server=No transfer

[Zenaku]

So pretty much if my world become JP i'm stuck in a JP world? then 6-12month later we can switch? By then no one not even my linkshell would be willing to switch over to NA without losing loads of players.

Would it not be better to make a few NA,EU,JP worlds that old 1.0 can switch to any of them? which then only level 1 char can log in to the other NA,EU,JP worlds?

Some of us want to join a NA world from day 1 and not wait months.

here something i read on the french forum.It's not a question about lag but economy. Your server turn EU and your NA, then so sorry your stuck with it.

"Our goal with the implementation of dedicated servers for new players is to create a world where the economy has no history. Therefore, players "Legacy" will not receive an option to transfer their characters "v1" to these servers from the release of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

New players will be able to create new characters on the servers of players "Legacy" to join them. This option will be available as long as the maximum server population will not be reached. Similarly, players "Legacy" will create a new character on dedicated servers to new players.

We are not yet able to confirm what stage during beta your characters will be permanently associated with the servers on which you are. We will share information once the schedule is finalized."

The portion you quoted is specifically referring to the fresh "New Player" servers that we plan to introduce and that only fresh starting new characters will be able to join (whether that's a completely new player, or a brand new character of a returning player) and this restriction will be in place for a specific period of time (not yet finalized).

It goes on to say that new players will be able to join existing/established worlds as long as there is room on the world, but that old, returning players cannot move to the brand-new "new player" worlds.

Hopefully that clears it up!

Maybe having that time before being able to transfer to another server could help people see how meaningless this "terrible latency" will be with a new and decent server structure, which would hopefully reduce the chances of a massive exodus happening as soon as transfers are available.

Thought that was fairly obvious ^^;

As soon as we know which existing servers are getting which location brands, I'm sure lodestone and Linkshell forums will have plenty of topics so we know who is transferring where.

global/JP server ... global/NA or global/EU

I don't think they've finalized everything, but last I saw, there would be no "global" or language-specific servers. Only three categories: "server in NA" , "server in JP", "Server in EU". And it's a fair bet that all v1 servers will remain in Japan.
(Edit: Except maybe Ragnarok going to Europe.)

Will that clear that up

It goes on to say that new players will be able to join existing/established worlds as long as there is room on the world, but that old, returning players cannot move to the brand-new "new player" worlds.

We allow to switch to any of the new worlds just not the world made for new players. Make sense that mean we allow to switch to Server that are base in NA,EU or JP.

Just to clarify, will Legacy players be able to make new characters on the "new player" worlds? I remember the restriction was on characters that already have abundant items and gil, which does not describe a brand new character on an old account.

Bayohne, could you please let me know if I can transfer from Sargatanas and move to Balmung at the launch of ARR?
I have spent way too much time on my Altera, and do not want to make a brand new character.
So will there be an option to move to Balmung? Please Bayohne shine your answer upon me

Yes, I need to know that as well. I have made new friends that are not from Ridill.
