I need server transfer now!

[Mikuku]

I'm just hoping there are no restrictions imposed when it comes to realm transfers between NA/EU and JP servers. I have a friend who wants to transfer to the JP server the rest of us play on, but unless I missed it, this hasn't been addressed yet.

I wish they could make things simpler and make everyone has equal rights to transfer.

How are people just realizing that they could not Transfer from legacy to non. Its been known since beta. If you were a legacy you could of had your friends join your server. If you were non and joined a legacy server hoping to transfer you should have read up . You could have just waited to make a character when the server you wanted opened up.

Now instead of waiting a week or two to get in the server you wanted now you gotta wait months.

Easy. Spend all their gil on HQ and most expensive end game gear and materia until they reach below the gil threshold. Then they transfer and sell all the items they bought. Boom, market gets stupid and they still have as much gil as when they left. I really hope they don't allow legacy players to change servers.

You do need to remember that every server has a different economy. Behemoth will have a VERY different one than Lamia. So sure they COULD buy those expensive things and then resell them, but if they overprice them they won't make a dime. The economy fluctuates, you can either control the problem or be taken in by it.

Glad to see this is going to be happening I can finally get off this server where I'm at and play with my friends.

While this was known since the beta, a lot of players had no knowledge as to when or if the server they wanted would open up in a few weeks time. I personally waited for a week to see if maybe our target server would open up. It didn't even once, and there was never any certainty that it would, and so we started playing where we could like many others, who were only able to pick Legacy servers despite not wanting to play on one.

You can say it's on the player, but it's really not the player's fault for wanting to play the game. Considering the free transfers are there almost specifically to remedy the fact that people were separated from their friends and thrown into random servers alone, it makes all the more sense for this to encompass new players that had no choice but to roll on Legacy servers. It's the exact same circumstance.

Originally one of my friends, who was legacy, started off on Excalibur (NA Legacy) so I had joined him there during beta 4 and early access. The rest of my friends who wanted to play bought the game but tried to create characters on Excalibur for days only to run into the infamous character creation restrictions where they could not so they ended up creating characters on the first server they could find that worked which happened to be Adamantoise for them so they all flocked there. I opted to just wait and hope world transfers would be available soon, also to my fault, not realizing that I wouldn't even be able to transfer when it opens.

Like my previous post had mentioned, I have about 10-12 friends that created characters on Adamantoise about a day or so after regular release and are already in an FC/LS, made friends within the community they leveled with, etc. and Square's solution is that they can/should transfer to me because they're on Non-legacy and headed to Legacy whereas I am on Legacy, am only one person but would not be allowed to transfer off this server during the five day free period and possibly not for a great while as no time frame was given as far as I can see regarding Legacy world to Non-legacy world transfer. This is extremely frustrating because I had invested time in my own character that I may now either need to abandon and start all over to be with my friends or try and convince everyone to transfer to me, assuming it even works and the website doesn't go down due to the extreme load it is likely to be put under.

I really hope they reconsider their position on legacy to non-legacy server transfers in relation to the time they plan on releasing the service and hopefully making it free (AGAIN if they do push back the date for legacy->non-legacy) for people stuck on legacy servers. I honestly can't see myself paying for this game for too long not being able to play with my friends, which is what kept me with other MMOs for years and years. I had already resubbed for this upcoming month but beyond that, I am not too sure if I can't be with my friends... This may sound like an ultimatum but at the end of the day, an MMO is a social beast which a great deal of people typically plays with their friends. Not being able to do that is an issue that needs to be released to the best of their ability and I do not feel that is the case right now. Please fix this.

If you were a legacy you could of had your friends join your server

Actually, my 1.0 character was on Excalibur and no one could make one on Excalibur until they got the login issues fixed long after they had already started on Ultros...

So, no, I could have my 1.0 character on Ultros any more than they could have their new ones on Excalibur, unless they wanted to forego playing by a week or two.

Sheeple.

People aren't just realizing they can't transfer. What we're realizing is that it causes a lot of problems that we didn't plan on, and the reason SE (and the later-phase community on beta forums) gave for the delay isn't really valid. The legacy economies aren't drastically different from new servers; the players that would move from legacy would most likely not fit the stereotype anyway.

The current economy cannot be dominated; there isn't enough demand for items. Very few players, even of legacy, have the amount of gil you suggest (to buy "a ton of HQ items"). Moreover, someone made the excellent suggestion that all gear should bind on transfer; that only leaves materials and other junk that has 0 demand atm.

I think what I'm trying to say is there are better workarounds than simply stopping all transfers, if someone at SE would put in the time.

So basically Legacy players are stuck where they are and can't join their friends on non legacy servers?
