I need server transfer now!

[chris_animeguy]

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.

What the...? Think it through dude.
It is unreasonable for ONE Legacy player to ask a GROUP of friends on a different server to give up and leave their established community and all up sticks just to join you. Not to mention that if every Legacy player asked their friends to do that, the already crowded Legacy servers would become even more congested.

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.....

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.

Hoping we never lose interest, but I was hoping for a date sometime today, early October stops after the 10th, which means we should hear something really soon, UNLESS its getting pushed back further.

2 weeks off of original announcement isn't bad, but 4-6 weeks past delivery is.

I personally have never seen any one complain about that in game. It may seam that way because those who gripe are often heard the most.
As to any official date we may get lucky and hear on the 19th when the next live letter comes out. However, it is about housing so it may not.

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

Obviously we technically could have our friends make their chars on Legacy worlds. However, in actuality the Legacy servers were the first to get the "...this world is no longer accepting new chars...". Excalibur, for example, was not available until about 2 weeks into the game. It's unacceptable to expect those new players to have wasted their free days because of a fault of the developer.

the restrictions were known beforehand...

Common mistake. The only thing SE said was that 1.0 chars would only be able to start out on the Legacy servers. They said nothing about future transfers. That is all.
