Could legacy characters transfer with gil/item reset?

[Mychael]

Just curious. I have a lot of friends. I can ask them all to move to me, but I don't want to. It's kind of rude.

I would be willing to give up all of my gil and non-rare/ex items to transfer my existing character. Yes, I'd have a mount, some event items, and a different storyline than everyone else. But it seems unfair to give me the options of forcing all of my friends to hop servers vs. losing some of the perks that I got for playing through 1.0.

In the end, the only "advantages" (in the long run) of having a legacy character are the non-tradeable ones, so I don't see the problem in transferring characters with 0 gil and 0 items. If anything, I'd be at a disadvantage with the way earning gil works in this game. And just to be clear, my character is nowhere near all 50s. There are characters on new worlds that surpass me in level and gear both.

Don't really get your post, but just pointing out that you can't transfer a character from a legacy server to a "new" server. Its not planned for the start of the server transfer program.

Which is what I'm asking for. People are worried that legacy character transfers would have an unfair advantage to monopolize new servers, I'm asking that they allow legacy transfers with no items/gil.

I'm sorry but I don't see the point. Either create a character on a new server or wait for the transfers off legacy worlds to be avialable.

This whole "can i erase my progress but keep my vanity items' thing is silly. I can't imagine for the life of me why someone would want to do that.

And transfering but NOT keeping your vanity crap makes even less sense. Just create a new freakin character.

You can't see why someone would want to play with their friends.. Your life must suck dude.. find some.

Because I paid RL money (subscriptions)to get my vanity items, and they're the only thing that my old character has that a new character wouldn't. If I create a "temporary" new character, I would have to try to keep up progress on both characters, so that I could eventually transfer my legacy when I'm allowed. I'm actually doing atm, and it's proving a pain in the arse.

Playing alone until transfers are available is of course an option, but not a lot of FC's are open to "Hey, I just need to join for a few months. No one get to know me because I'll leave you all eventually." Playing the game without friends kind of defies the point of playing an MMO.

lets just ignore the fact that the new servers are already on par with the legacy ones in every single way, heck the new servers are probably already monopolized anyway and IK they are just as far along content wise.

As much as I'd hate to see anyone running around on goobues this early on my server >_>
If anyone's willing to give up all their items/gil, I honestly would have nothing against it as a non legacy player, after all the only real reasons it shouldn't be allowed are economical ones.

Uh I can see why someone would want to play with friends- but why would you want to more or less wipe your character in the process? I say either transfer your character, 100% intact, or create a new one on your friends server.

WHere in my post did I say I don't have friends or that I can't see why someone would want to play with friends? that's not what my post was about at all.

All the items you paid money for will be on new characters you create. You can verify this now. Create a new character on any server. you will recieve all the bonus items that are associated with your account.

The only things you can't get you didn't pay money for (direcrly): The goobbue, and the mark on your back.

If you're trying to play with friends (as people are ridiculing me for allegedly failing to understand, when in fact i haven't), why can't they transfer to your server?

New world > legacy is totally allowed.

Goobbue, legacy mark, 10-15 event items, shoes for ffxi+ffxiv simultaneous subscription, etc. More than you think.
