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.
