I need server transfer now!

[HustlerBojenkins]

2) There's no reason why your friends can't transfer to YOUR world instead. What's the problem here? why does this have to ruin your game experience? transfer to legacy world is possible, so why not do that? Ive yet to see a rational reason for this level of irateness- there are reasonable solutions to your situation.

yeah, asking several people to transfer to the legacy worlds(half of which are on creation restriction and the other half are still pretty crowded anyway, right?), break up free company progress they have, leave friends they made, etc, to play with one or two of their friends who have had the game since 1.0 is perfectly reasonable.

not to mention restricting completely new players who made characters on legacy worlds because other worlds in their region were closed to them during the chaotic launch week.

I'm just speculating of course, but if I would lose Legacy Status by transferring to a Non-Legacy world...I really don't care. I just want to be able to play the game with my daughter but I am on Excalibur which is full so she probably won't be able to transfer to me and I'll bet that all the Legacy Worlds are full or will fill up fast preventing us both from transferring to them.

Is there anyone willing to give up a spot on Excal so my daughter can join me? (not that it would help).

I am willing to give up my spot on Excal and my daughters spot on Cactuar for 2 slots on another Legacy World. (as if that would help).

p.s I seriously doubt my 250k gil is going to hurt a Non-Legacy Worlds economy and I only have 3 lvl 50 Battle Classes (the rest are 30-ish) and all my DoH/L are lvl 36 or lower.

SE, just please make it work somehow so we can play together. As long as it's an NA World, I don't care where we end up.

Seriously, if there is no obvious alternative available (like a brand new Legacy world with lots of space), have your daughter and friends transfer to your Legacy world. SE said they may split worlds (i.e. world count goes up +1) and they won't know to do that until they see all the transfer requests. IMHO there are no more likely candidates for splitting up than NA/EU Legacy worlds.

NEXT TOPIC:
SE Rep Bayohne posted this next bit on another World Transfer thread, and I'm including it here to conserve my post count.

Greetings,

Please disregard the World Transfer Service requirement that mentions "Your free trial must be expired." Anyone that has purchased the game and registered their code is not on a "free trial" period. For your reference, purchasing the game and adding your 30-days of play time, is considered as actual subscription time, so users would not be affected by this requirement.

For clarity, we will be updating the site to remove that line. Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience that this has caused.

uh... is it possible to server transfer from a non-legacy server to another non-legacy server?
i know i saw that it's possible on yoshi-p's post last week or something, but not on the new lodestone page about next week's world transfer...

oh, and what time zone are you guys using for the october 15th start?

[Krokov]

Of course you can transfer from non to non legacy server.

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.

Absolute rubbish. A very small percentage of 1.0 characters are rich to the point where they may affect an economy. Most of us played for a few months in 1.0, quit the game, and have come back at 2.0 launch. We don’t have mega-riches, and we don’t have all lvl50 jobs. Gill sellers on new worlds have altered the economy far more than a 1.0 character ever could.
This reason given for the restriction of movement is ridiculous, and is a slap in the face to SE’s longest standing supporters of this game.

[chris_animeguy]

Your economic past DOES have a very real impact on present concerns. Companies in practically every market reward the loyalty of their paying customers to keep them happy and keep them investing in their product. It is also a fantastic incentive for new buyers, because they know they will be treated well in the future and not neglected. SE seems to ignore this accepted principle.

EDIT:
My friends cannot move to my server.
I cannot move to them.
I am not prepared to re-roll after the hard work i have put into my toon.

After reading through recent posts and realizing that at this point there is no changing the stubborn, narrow minds of SE's management team, I am taking the decision to quit the game until Legacy status on selected servers is removed, and unrestricted transfers are available for ALL.
I invite others in the same situation to follow suit. When SE see a drop in subscriptions, they may think twice about this issue. Some may not like this, but SE need to focus on allowing people to play the game that exists rather than focusing on adding more content this early in it's lifespan.

remember what SE did to the 1.0 gil? 1.0 player did lose a fair amount gil. I had alil over 1mil when the game when down, then when our 1.0 character was tansfered to 2.0. my gill went from 1mil to 100k... so ya
im sure theres others out there that lost even more then me

My sentiments exactly.

[Annissa]

So easy for you to say when you are not the one affected, eh Billzey?

There's tons of Legacy players claiming they do not have tons of gil nor levels; I am one of them, lvl 42 and broke.

As I've said before, give us options!
Gil caps & crafting lvl caps for starters.
THERE your problem is no longer a problem Miss Billzey.
Take away our dungeon items past 30+... For god's sake do Something besides tell us your SOL.

Also as stated earlier SE refuses to acknowledge this MAJOR issue. Not even an apology. They answered here & read over a TON of ppl who are pissed. They just ignored it. Poor move SE. My husband and I are not even interested in playing now, and it makes me truly sad because we love the game so much.
