I need server transfer now!

[NeruMew]

Wahh... I just, I want to believe that servers wont get overflowed... I just can't help to believe that it's gonna happena gain resulting in deadly ques and server errors. And that the transfer transactions actually work as well... Sigh I can't wait to see how they handle this =P OIh well eventually it'll get fixed. XD

The problem with legacy servers, and why a lot want a transfer is they are so over crowded. Playing at a 4k latency is not fun. So what would be the point of transfering from one crowded server to another crowded server. At peak hours there are queues and weekends there are heavy load problems, on Hyperion. Stop the world I want to get off!

In the end: ARR was made to capture new people and pull people from other MMOs, Legacy and 1.0 players were just there because lots of us ended up paying for XIV 1.x for a half year. We're pretty much an after thought to yoshi and SE in the long run, they wouldn't have made ARR for the small amount of people who was left playing XIV 1.x, no company would.

This is my biggest fear, too. We have 4 NA Legacy servers, and 2 of them are on the "too crowded, don't transfer here" list. So if tons of people from Excalibur and Hyperion transfer to Sargatanas and Balmung, all it does is put them right back in the same situation on a different server.

Furthermore, characters can only transfer 3 million gil, while retainers can only transfer 1 million gil. Please be aware that excess gil will be lost.

Make preparations now.

Why not add a new designated legacy server that allows legacy and non-legacy transfers?

adding another legacy world(worlds are clusters of servers) wont help since non-legacy worlds can already transfer to legacy worlds legacy worlds cant transfer to non legacy worlds. besides that once the transfers take place in the first place they will need to add more Legacy worlds to their list due to over populations

the best course of action would be to remove the silly rule that says legacy world chars cant transfer but they wont do that till their servers are overwhelmed again

I vote they just make an official legacy available RP server so we can move the RP community over there.

You know... if we're just going to say what we want for the hell of it and all.

SE just posted the info on world transfers (NA link). Sadly, no good news for Legacy worlds. 1. Worlds will not be available to select as destinations if character creation limit has been reached. 2. No indication SE will take any action to relieve congestion on Legacy worlds. 3. Legacy characters still cannot transfer to new worlds.

Edit: for #2 above: Apparently SE may split busy worlds, but there are other issues (see my post, next page.)

I just read the postscript notes. I don't know whether to be happy that SE may increase capacity by splitting existing worlds, or potentially to be angry that they may change our destination and not let us cancel the transfer:

With the introduction of the World Transfer Service, there may be cases where players are requested to transfer to other Worlds due to fluctuations in population. We may also consider the splitting or merger of Worlds. Because of this, there may be instances where players who have used the World Transfer Service are requested to move to a different World. Please note that in such cases, applications for World transfers cannot be canceled or refunded.

That is so typical of them, never a simple solution lol
