I need server transfer now!

So poorly managed lol.

Once service fees are instated for this service, characters transferring from another World will take priority in the event a character on the destination World has the same name but is associated with an inactive service account at the time of transfer.

I might loose my name just because I stop playing for a month or two is just wrong.

Hello,

The details for the World Transfer Service have been announced on the Lodestone. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can read up on it here.

We will be accepting applications for free transfer between 10/15 and 10/21, so if you wish to transfer for free please be sure to utilize the service before the cut-off date.

As you might have noticed from those dates, we decided to extend the free period from the aforementioned five days to seven days.

Also, please note that if there is a character on the destination World with the same name as you, that person will have priority for keeping the name. However, in the future we will be making a change to this so the player who is active will have priority. We'll be making an announcement on this when the change occurs.

Wow, so if I don't pay for a month someone can steal my characters name? D:

Please define "active"??

"Active" meaning logging in. If you snooze you loose basically. It will eliminate placeholder toons taking up names.

Transfers Involving Legacy Worlds
In order to allow the economy of newly established Worlds to stabilize, the following restrictions have been set in place for Legacy Worlds.

Transferrable Current World Destination World
○ Non-Legacy World -> Legacy World
○ Legacy World -> Legacy World
× Legacy World -> Non-Legacy World

soo... i've been telling all my friends to go to catuar due to hyperion being full at launch because i was going to server transfer there.... then had to wait an extra month do you guys to get this working right and now that its about time for it to get into service... your locking me from joining them because your scared other legacy players will mess up the economy... if i recall from an earlier announcement, you guys was going to give us a Gil limit anyway. your reasoning for locking us from joining our friends isn't really a good enough reason. unless your worried my 28k Gil is just going to mess everything up -.-

I would really like to see some updated data on the differences between legacy and non legacy servers is in terms of economy at this point... is that a calculated conclusion or its just something they "guess" will happen if they let ppl out of legacy jails.

My guess though, is the FFXIV team is still quite small (they just started making profit recently) and they are over loaded with other tasks to tune up such a ambitious, complex game PLUS the up coming new content. They probably do not have an analytical team to monitor and make decisions on game economy yet. Nor would they put the transfer issue into their top priority unless we keep making our voice heard.

bayonne, why am I being punished for buying a PS3 version and ineligible for transferring when I've had an active account since the game was released?
