I need server transfer now!

[necrosis]

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.

I tried this. At launch. Hyperion was locked down the entire first week. It is also the most congested Legacy server from what I have seen. So when my friends can transfer I highly expect Hyperion to be locked out then as well.

LOL. Why?

I think people are assuming that all of the Legacy servers only have characters with multiple level 50 professions/classes and millions of gil. They don't. In fact, I'd bet that the majority are DON'T have those things. The majority are probably folks that gave up on version 1.0 about one to three months in and are now just coming back to play...just like you. They may have a few more levels on a class or two, but other than that nothing. For me, it would be a level 27 archer with 47,000 gil. Whooptee f&#@ing doo.

This was me. I had a 1.0 character. Level 5 marauder with like 500g. Yeah I am serious. That's what it was. Big threat to the economy and game.
