I need server transfer now!

[Lunchbox32]

My issue is not with release time. The main reason being is if they rush it, and it gets pushed out unfinished, than the mistakes made could be irreparable data pertaining to your character. I would rather they get it right so my character does not get deleted in the process, it is the permissions as to who gets to move that irk me.

I'm not going to have any friends still interested in the game by the time we're able play on the same world, and if I do I might not have anything left to do with them.
The world and legacy restrictions prevented people and their friends from rolling on the same world in the first place, so it's not an optional service but an essential one, and it's already been delayed for a month now.
This is, to put it simply, completely unacceptable

I've solved the mystery. The whole purpose of turning off the servers and rebuilding the game from the ground up into something that is dynamic, fun, and immensely entertaining was a giant troll job. You see, the Devs don't want you to play with your friends, they keep promising world transfers but really it is just to make everyone sad and lonely. That's right, a company spent millions of dollars reworking a game just as a sick, twisted joke. If it wasn't, they would have all of their staff working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week to convenience me in a video game.

OK, see that above paragraph, that is sarcasm. Unfortunately, a lot of people in this thread sound like that, but in a non-sarcastic way. There are real-world reasons as to why they cannot do everything at once: man-power limits as the prime example. There is only so much staff who can work so many hours a day on any problem, staff that have other duties to perform. I am not saying this with any particular knowledge about how FFXIV is being developed, this is how pretty much every business everywhere in the history of ever works.

You are most definately not wrong. That being said this, like any other buisness, has to suffer the consequences on not delivering a product on schedule. The frustrating part is they are the ones setting the schedule so there is no real reason that they can't build a fudge factor into it (worst case scenario would be a early delivery and extra happy customers).

Consumers in the MMORPG industry are used to accepting these things, but for SE they have a opportunity here that no other MMO has gotten. A second chance. It would be a shame if they lost support from the fanbase over a lack of accurate and timely communications.

Bit frustrating... I regret advising my friends to join, we are on 3 different servers...
Told them they could transfer soon but still no date so they level on their side and me on mine...
Well hopefully we can meet for Coil of Bahamut...

obviously enough people renewed their subs it wasn't a concern.
lets see how people feel after another month of standing around running the same dungeons and the same fates over and over

I'm sure a lot of us we feel fine. I just hit 50 jumping into end game now. I love it. If all you do is endgame on one class it is your fault. You knew what content was available at launch and you also knew when new content was coming out.

If lack of endgame is a concern to you why are you subscribing now if you have full gear. You could just wait til november subscribe for a month then rush through that, then you'll only have a week to complain about not enough end content. Nobody has sympathy for the end game grinders almost 2 months into a new game.

If you are legacy kinda the same thing you knew what was here when the game started and you know when new stuff will be out.

Complaining about not enough end game will do nothing but make you look like a whiner. Just sit back relax and wait for the new content every 3 months.

In the Japanese forum I guess the staff just said that it would be ready in 15 Oct. if no serious bug is found. Have to wait for their confirmation though

Please note that it also says "if a serious problem is not found by tomorrow night...", so it's more of a "heads up" than an actual, official announcement.

Why are they posting a release date in the japanese forums but keep telling vague stuff here?

It's not a definite, official release date yet, and it's their country's native language. Yoshi-P's most recent letter mentioned an announcement letter with specific details would be forthcoming.
