I need server transfer now!

I think what he was trying to say was it will be ok there they just don't want a lot of traffic congestion with the servers I believe that's what he was trying to convey.

if they don't remove the restrictions from Legacy worlds and allow them to move to non Legacy congestion is exactly what they will get

their reasons might have seemed sound but they never were. there simply aren't enough 1.0 chars that fall into the category they used to make this decision to make it a good idea

their reasons were they didnt want people with maxed out chars who had millions of gil to dominate the economy. the issue with this is that there were maybe 10% of all 1.0 players who actually played enough to do this. so now the rest of us are getting punished for it. it is unfair of them to use only that criteria to lock ALL 1.0 players on Legacy worlds. even many of those players who did actually max out their chars didnt return for ARR so that makes it even less of a reason

the point is their reason for locking us on Legacy worlds is invalid and they need to rethink it

why do legacy players want to play on non-legacy servers?

because their friends do? why didnt your friends choose a legacy server? It is most likely because they wanted a fresh server with new characters. It was more important for both you and your friends to keep your character/play on a fresh shard THAN it was for you guys to play together anyway.
the restrictions were known beforehand, and many players deliberately chose servers because only new characters would play on them for the forseeable future, otherwise they could've started on a legacy server.

Plane and simple ive locked my account into inactive status untill world transfers, theres no longer an urge to play like there used to be, since none of my friends are available i tire trying to find a group of english playerbase on japanese servers waiting for the xfer service to come through. Ive hit a wall with parties due to lack of communication and have decided just to wait as no one knows for sure when this will happen.

This is exactly my thinking, i want to play with my buddies and dont have any intention of playing until i can.

So that we don't go round in circles with this again...
- No they couldn't start on my server to begin with.
- We had no idea the WTS would not allow 1.0 transfers to new servers as there had been no official comment on the matter before now
- My time on the game is very limited so NO it wouldn't be quick for me to level a new character. It would take months for me to catch up.

A lot of people are stuck in similar situations. I think there is a deal of genuine frustration here because all people want to do is play with their friends and through no fault of their own, circumstances are preventing this.

The (not yet announced) reason for not allowing 1.0 world transfers to new severs being an economic imbalance concern is not good enough, if that is the case. Only a small percentage of 1.0 players are rich enough to make a significant difference. There are far more hard-core new players now than there are old. The majority shouldn't suffer restrictions because of the 'possibility' that a few could cause an inconvenience.

I wanna go to an underpopulated server, so fates don't last 1.5 seconds I'd be happy with 3 seconds. Q_Q.....

Rather then complaining that you cant play with your friends because you are on a Legacy server, simply have them transfer to YOUR server. From what I have read though legacy servers can not transfer from a legacy server, standard servers can go TO legacy servers. Tell your friends to transfer to the Legacy server you are on during the 5 days of free transfers if it means that much to you.

not a viable solution. imagine how you would feel if one of your neighbors went out and commited a crime and every single person in your entire city got punished for it. that is pretty much what this is. all those on Legacy worlds are being punished because of what few 1.0 players managed to do. does this seem fair to you? well it isnt and we aren't going to stop complaining just because YOU think we should

Blizzard had "working as intended"
Looks FFXIV has "soon"

I understand taking your time--but having 3 official sites where the dates are incorrect... maybe its time for that Official Announcement.
Preferably before all my friends lose interest in the game we'd have loved to play together.

I was really wanting to - and looking forward to - server transfer as soon as it came available so I could go back to a NA server because of the minor lag issues to the JP servers. But, I'm starting to really change my mind about that. After seeing all the toxic community problems coming out of the NA/EU server group, especially over piddly things (people getting mad over not speaking THEIR language in Duty Finder? Really?), I'll deal with the minor lag problems and just enjoy the more pleasant, friendly, welcoming, forgiving, and helpful JP community.

I'm an American. I only speak English. But I'm a bit ashamed over how the NA/EU community has become a detriment to itself.
