I need server transfer now!

[Kalysta]

Developers, since you're already limiting the amount of gil that can be transferred from different servers, can you please allow legacy to non transfers for even just the first five days? With the gil exploits already in play, I can't see how the economies can end up any more broken if a legacy character transfers to a non legacy server. Honestly, it's NOT our fault that so many of us rolled away from our friends, it was caused by the way the game was set up, and all the character creation bans in place. Seeing as there's, what, 7 legacy servers, they're going to end up stupidly crowded after the server transfers. Legacy characters are stuck on legacy servers, and if they have newbie friends, their friends pretty much HAVE to go to them, increasing the population of legacy servers even more. You're going to end up with legacy servers with extreme play wait times, and non-legacy ones almost empty.

This is true! I have a quite a few non-legacy friends on different servers and we all want to play together. We are trying to arrange to join a server together but of course it will have to be legacy if I am to be able to play with them. With so many of us there is a risk that we still all wont get on the same server due to them filling up with other people trying to do the same thing! I don't think this is fair. I want to be able to play with my friends without the risk of being separated.

Perhaps SE could introduce group transfers. Is that even possible? Would be cool if it was!
Also what is the point of putting a gil restriction in place if legacy characters still can't transfer to non legacy servers. That's not a rhetorical question - I really don't understand what the aim of that is... I would understand if they could transfer to non-legacy.

Greetings, everyone!

As mentioned previously, the World Transfer Service is scheduled to begin soon and Yoshi-P has organized a bit of information about this before the official announcement is made.

I swear you guys have done everything to avoid giving us a date (not to mention "oh sorry it's oct. already & we said sept. but Its coming early this month!!!" We see through it and its getting kinda annoying... Seriously either open the damn thing or give us a date. You're not "keeping anyone in suspense" & we're really getting tired of this wait.

Serene People, surely do after charging. It is logical so that will not continue the walk not do unnecessary congested with traffic. Surely that is.

Huh? That made no sense...

I think what he was trying to say was it will be ok there they just don't want a lot of traffic congestion with the servers I believe that's what he was trying to convey.

if they don't remove the restrictions from Legacy worlds and allow them to move to non Legacy congestion is exactly what they will get

their reasons might have seemed sound but they never were. there simply aren't enough 1.0 chars that fall into the category they used to make this decision to make it a good idea

their reasons were they didnt want people with maxed out chars who had millions of gil to dominate the economy. the issue with this is that there were maybe 10% of all 1.0 players who actually played enough to do this. so now the rest of us are getting punished for it. it is unfair of them to use only that criteria to lock ALL 1.0 players on Legacy worlds. even many of those players who did actually max out their chars didnt return for ARR so that makes it even less of a reason

the point is their reason for locking us on Legacy worlds is invalid and they need to rethink it

Plane and simple ive locked my account into inactive status untill world transfers, theres no longer an urge to play like there used to be, since none of my friends are available i tire trying to find a group of english playerbase on japanese servers waiting for the xfer service to come through. Ive hit a wall with parties due to lack of communication and have decided just to wait as no one knows for sure when this will happen.

This is exactly my thinking, i want to play with my buddies and dont have any intention of playing until i can.

why do legacy players want to play on non-legacy servers?

because their friends do? why didnt your friends choose a legacy server? It is most likely because they wanted a fresh server with new characters. It was more important for both you and your friends to keep your character/play on a fresh shard THAN it was for you guys to play together anyway.
the restrictions were known beforehand, and many players deliberately chose servers because only new characters would play on them for the forseeable future, otherwise they could've started on a legacy server.
