I need server transfer now!

[Crafter]

Transferrable Current World Destination World
○ Non-Legacy World -> Legacy World
○ Legacy World -> Legacy World
× Legacy World -> Non-Legacy World

This has me worried. Legacy servers already have high populations. Why not put bigger economic restrictions on Legacy -> Non-Legacy worlds?
I have friends moving from non-legacy worlds to mine because I cant make the move. I have a feeling lots of other players are going to be doing this too.

I also worry about this.
If there are 10 RL friends who started together but were forced to split into different servers and 1 of them happened to be on legacy server, the only way for those 10 to be together is to transfer to the legacy server.
I'm worried that the legacy servers will get over populated so quickly and the separated people don't get to be together...

Hvinire i've some question regarding data retained after transfer, it has been said : Gil (3 million gil per character, 1 million gil per retainer)
that means 1 character can bring total up to 5 millions gils : 3 million gils on character + 2 million gils (from 2 retainer, each hold 1 million).

What if player (let say) have 6 million gils, can we bring the remaining 1 million gil from 2nd character or mule from same server? Since i know we can deliver gil from moogle mail.

Thank you in advance.

Why do people use their economic past to justify their present concerns? I paid for FFXI for 11 years also. I don't feel like they should cater to me just because I paid them like everyone else in the game.

Regardless, clearly legacy > new world transfers would screw up the economy, and clearly people would take advantage of it. End of story. It may suck for you, but it's better for everyone else.

Wrong If there was tighter limits for Legacy Characters then how would this effect a new servers economy.

1.) Gil limit is 3mil make it a 1mil, Retainer cap is 1mil make it 500k
2.) Don't allow any gear that isn't spirit bonded or unique (so a rich Legacy player cant buy 100 HQ ilvl70 items and then sell them for 5-10xs what they paid) Or w/e item.
3.) No Materials for crafting, No Food, And No Materia.

And a Legacy Characters Crafts and levels have nothing to do with the economy because anyone can roll on a new server and get 50 anything in a matter of days.

When (Non)Legacy characters are allowed to transfer in a few months do we get a free transfer as well?

What time PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) on October 15? Anybody? Bueller?

I was told personally on the phone by SE customer service at launch that transfers would be available by September 15.

MANY MANY NA legacy players have been stranded on Japanese legacy servers and this transfer is a god-send (most legacy players did not participate in beta 3.0 and thus missed the tiny June 21-July 15 transfer window they offered at that time).

What time PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) on October 15? Anybody? Bueller?

It's OCT15 5 PM - OCT21 5 PM Japan time.
I get confused with PST and PDT, I don't know if it's 0 AM or 1 AM your time.

Oh well, not unexpected by SE I suppose. Guess my guilds accounts go to sleep until they lift the Legacy to New ban. Enjoy the cluster f this is going to create! :/

[silentwindfr]

why they haven't add a new legacy server, because for the legacy server you haven't real choice since most of the legacy server are quite populated...
one more time legacy player get left out...

Nice to have specifics! The amount of gil you can take is higher than I thought, but I guess that is expected since you can't transfer Legacy > non-Legacy.

Though, I am a bit confused about this part:

* Characters cannot be transferred to a World which has already reached the limit for character creation.

I haven't been keeping up with which worlds (if any) are closed to character creation and how that works. ^^; Do some worlds open and close intermittently depending on the time of day, like they did for awhile after launch?
