Legacy Servers not transfering to non-legacy?

[Alhanelem]

It might have had something to do with the things he mentioned about not liking the server he's on. The fact that he had a friend on another server just gave him a specific destination instead of an "anywhere but here" destination.

Thats an argument i've never been able to understand. In the grand scheme of things, outside of a personal preference as to whether your world is highly populated or more quiet, every server is just as good or bad as the next one. If you "hate your server" youre not going to like another one any better.

Easy solution, you transfer from Legacy JP to Legacy NA/EU, your friends transfer from Non-Legacy NA/EU to Legacy NA/EU. Though due to the fact that Legacy servers economies are mature, stable and cheap I can see more people wanting to get on Legacy than get off (why pay 5m for Materia when you only need to pay 500k on Legacy.........) so really, Non-Legacy to Legacy shouldn't be allowed as it gives Non-Legacy an economic advantage.......

Does this apply to only true legacy characters? Or does it apply to 2.0 characters rolled on a legacy server as well?

I think it should be determined by levels of your character and not that fact it's on a legacy server. My new character out levels my 1.0 character and has more gil so in no way would my 1.0 character have any effect on the economy.

Any characters made on the server, since even if it's a new character, you are exposed to the economy.

After patch 2.2 or 2.3, when SE feels the Economys of the various worlds have caught up to the Economy of the Legacy Worlds, the Restriction on Transfering off Legacy will be removed, and the term Legacy may even be removed from Worlds.

Im not sure what your smoking, but ive never seen Materia for 500k on my non legacy server.

Tier 3 Materia - 20k now
Tier 4 Materia last ones i saw were 200-300k i think it was ?
Vanya Gear is at like 1mil.

[Lexxuk]

Me? You're right, I was way off the mark. Each IV Materia on my server is 60k (Crafting) so I want to add two to each of my gear, that's 120k per piece. 12 slots (including accessories) for (24*60k=)1,440,000 gil. On Phoenix the same material is 340,000 each, again the requirement is 12 for a total of (24*340k)8,160,000, so yes, my estimate for legacy was a bit low, but then my estimate for non legacy was also low. So yes, I can add 2 IV material to each bit of my GSM gear for 6.7m gil cheaper.

And no, you can't come legacy, buy our cheap stuff then go to a non-legacy.

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.
