Legacy Servers not transfering to non-legacy?

[Keres]

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.
