Legacy Servers not transfering to non-legacy?

[Gilraen]

There is a solution to allow legacy -> non legacy transfer without ruining non legacy world economy:

1. Every single item owned by character becomes character bound and unsellable. EDIT: items crafted from bound materials also become bound.
2. Limit of gil that can be transferred. The newer the world, the lower limit if trasfer (ranging from 100k to 300k i think)
3. Limit the number of classes higher than lvl 15 to transfer. For example the limit to transfer to Odin would be 3 dow/dom, 2 doh and 1 dol. Less for fresher servers. Other classes will be reduced to lvl 15.
4. Only currently equipped armoury items transfer. The average item level for transfered job must not exceed the average item level of 10th player (itemlevel-wise) in the destination world on the same job/class. Materia melded in items increases its item level for this calculation.

I see this suggestion alot and all it really does is support my theory that it's not the economy people care about at all. Limiting character levels and transferable items... Guess noone follows the ideology of 'what's good for the goose is good for the gander'. Mayhaps they should apply these limits to every transfer? See how quickly that flies, eh? The problem people have with 1.0 characters seems pretty clear to me. "You have nice things that I don't, I don't want you to have them anymore."

@demise: the trouble is every legcay server are already populated, more than new server.
worst 2 of the NA/eu legacy server are pointed as crowned server. leaving 3 server for transfert!

they need to add a new server for legacy transfert a new one!

please stop making this same thread

Ever think that maybe this thread keeps getting brought back up b/c so many ppl are having a hard time accepting this? Keep em comin guys and maybe one day they won't be ignored.

Oh yeah and the fact that it IS such a big issue and SE hasn't acknowledged it; instead they willing choose to ignore it. They could easily take the opportunity to wipe out rumors, explain in detail the 'why's, and give us a time frame. 1-3 month wait might calm a few. If they are talking 6 months to a year, at least some of us would know to head out for good.

And we all know that ignoring the players is what works right SE?

This thread keeps coming up because people don't know to use the search function.


There is a 50 page long thread about this stuff here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ansfer-now%21/

Go to that thread and like posts that share your sentiment rather than making hundreds of threads about the same thing over and over.

I currently reside on the legacy server Ridill in Japan, and at first I didn't have any qualms about playing on it due to there being considerably less spam and an overall gentler community. Unfortunately though, all of the end-game I'm noticing consists of Japanese Free Companies that pretty much require that you're not limited to Auto-translate and the fact that you're only on late at night for them.

While I absolutely sympathize, that's sort of what you signed up for when you chose to be on a Japanese server.

Actually, many of us didn't sign up to be on a Japanese server during 1.0, we signed up on servers that had unofficial titles like Unofficial RP server (sort of what Balmung became for US players) or, in the case of Ridill, unofficial XI server (back when it was called Selbina, after the XI town of the same name we assumed). It was only in the division of data centers that Ridill became a Japanese server. For a time we had the option to transfer off the server before things were set for Phase 4 and release, but it wasn't a long window and clearly some missed it. I, myself, was someone who played on Ridill during 1.0 and almost missed the transfer window. I wanted to make sure my linkshell would be waiting on the server I was moving to. Joke was on me, only a couple transfered, the rest remade on Midgardsormr. Now I'm stuck on Balmung until I can transfer again.
