Obviously we technically could have our friends make their chars on Legacy worlds. However, in actuality the Legacy servers were the first to get the "...this world is no longer accepting new chars...". Excalibur, for example, was not available until about 2 weeks into the game. It's unacceptable to expect those new players to have wasted their free days because of a fault of the developer.

Common mistake. The only thing SE said was that 1.0 chars would only be able to start out on the Legacy servers. They said nothing about future transfers. That is all.
