I need server transfer now!

[Qvoth]

uh... is it possible to server transfer from a non-legacy server to another non-legacy server?
i know i saw that it's possible on yoshi-p's post last week or something, but not on the new lodestone page about next week's world transfer...

oh, and what time zone are you guys using for the october 15th start?

Of course you can transfer from non to non legacy server.

Your economic past DOES have a very real impact on present concerns. Companies in practically every market reward the loyalty of their paying customers to keep them happy and keep them investing in their product. It is also a fantastic incentive for new buyers, because they know they will be treated well in the future and not neglected. SE seems to ignore this accepted principle.

EDIT:
My friends cannot move to my server.
I cannot move to them.
I am not prepared to re-roll after the hard work i have put into my toon.

After reading through recent posts and realizing that at this point there is no changing the stubborn, narrow minds of SE's management team, I am taking the decision to quit the game until Legacy status on selected servers is removed, and unrestricted transfers are available for ALL.
I invite others in the same situation to follow suit. When SE see a drop in subscriptions, they may think twice about this issue. Some may not like this, but SE need to focus on allowing people to play the game that exists rather than focusing on adding more content this early in it's lifespan.

remember what SE did to the 1.0 gil? 1.0 player did lose a fair amount gil. I had alil over 1mil when the game when down, then when our 1.0 character was tansfered to 2.0. my gill went from 1mil to 100k... so ya
im sure theres others out there that lost even more then me

Hi all,
when i created my account and got to the server options, i was given NO OTHER option BUT to roll on a server called Ridill. Next to it, it said legacy in brackets which at the time as a new player to ARR, i of course had no idea what that even meant.

Either way that is irrelevant since i had no choice but to roll my character on there. Meanwhile my friends were on another server which i could not even see on the list since the NA/EU was not even available to browse through let alone create a character on.

I thought that it was fine for now and by the time i get to a high level, server transfers would be available. So after playing alone for close to a month which was fun of course since everything was new to me i started feeling the pain of being alone with not much to solo since i hit 50 and was on my relic quest.

Cont.
I couldn't wait to get off the server simply because the queues alone from things like Ifrit HM and dungeons were ridiculous and more importantly i was alone and my friends elsewhere.
Of course then i heard the news that legacy characters cannot transfer to non legacy, in other words i cannot join my friends due a restriction which has not even been explained fully. So here i am sitting on a legacy server which i had no choice but to be on and now i am going to stay stuck here because of some economy mumbo jumbo? Or should i ask my 9 friends to join me on this server which is already packed with players and queue times that are terrible?
Doesn't seem very logical to ask 9 players to move to a server instead of me moving to them. Besides my friends are not going to transfer to this server with those queue times and the overcrowded issue.
So basically SE is dictating where i can and cannot go, that would be fine if this was a free game, i would keep quiet and roll with it.

[Velev]

last bit.

But i am paying for this service?? ..quite shocking to say the least... Whatever next, might as well dictate the times and days we can and cannot play...
Legacy servers are already all packed and with the transfers coming even more are going to join them, some to join their stuck friends and some because they want to be on a legacy server.To me the fact that i am stuck here as i am sure many other people are too is not something that is fun. From no choice but to roll on this server at the beginning due to SE's bad planning to again being stuck here due to some other restriction. I'm absolutely lost for words here, really, this is upsetting and poor poor management and planning. Not sure what else to say here except this is disappointing.
thank you

I don't like the restriction placed on Legacy players also. We have a lot of friends who could not get onto the Legacy worlds because they were full, and now we are STUCK on them, and I am willing to bet that Hyperion and Excalibur may be closed off before our friends can all transfer over. This is crap. Why punish your loyal Legacy players like this?

[Becken]

Well if we cant move off of the legacy server,they should add another legacy server and hope to lessen the overcrowded

while that would address the overcrowded legacy server issue, it doesn't even come close to touching the much deeper "i can't really play with my friends without starting from scratch with a character i have had for like 3 years and it is horribly unreasonable for me to ask them to break any ties they have made in the game and break free companies to come join me" issue.
