Question about server transfer restrictions

[Sagacyte]

Hello!

I have 2 chars on different servers, one in US other in JP (created during the launch issues). I plan on moving one of them (JP > US) when the server transfers begin soon.

Reading the transfer notice, I see this:

Once you begin the World transfer process, you cannot create new characters or log into the game until the transfer is complete.

Just to clarify: does this mean I won't be able to login at all? Or I can't/shouldn't log in with the character being transferred? Seeing as it says it can take several days I'm hesitant to do it if it would mean blocking access to my main!

Thanks for your time!

Greetings,

When applying for the World Transfer Service you will not be able to use any of the characters associated with the account of the character you are applying for.

For example, if you have you two service accounts and apply for a world transfer for a character on service account 1, you will not be able to use any characters on that account until the transfer is completed. However, you can still log in with characters on service account 2.

Lodestone, just type in the character name in the search bar at the top.

^That's one way to do it.

I was going to say, just go and find out the hard way ;p Forgot you can just look it up on the Lodestone.

I remember transferring worlds multiple times on XI. Had to change my name each time.... so sad...

We still can't transfer Legacy characters to non-Legacy worlds? I basically created a character in 1.0 JUST to obtain the goober mount, so all I had done on him was CNJ 30 before 2.0. I've been playing on him on Hyperion in the meantime, just waiting till I could transfer to Gilgamesh with a friend who started there. We started playing after the login issues were slowly lifted, and he has accomplished WAY more than I have at this point. Combine that with the fact that my old character had no money on him, no other classes leveled, and that the game has changed so much that I can't even solicit advice to my friend. I don't see what harm there could possibly be in my transferring to his world.

How long are we supposed to wait, another 4-5 months for the nooblets to "catch up"? Most of them are much further along than I am already.

Alas I guess it's too much to ask to allow Legacy transfers on a character-by-character basis...

Dear community reps, can you please press for an answer as to WHEN we can transfer off legacy servers? Any reasoning for disallowing this is pretty moot at this point, and I'd really like to play with my friends. I get that they're set against it for now. All I'm asking for is a month & year. Please please please help us get an answer for this. I don't want to keep dumping more time & effort into my character on legacy server if it's going to be a year or more before I can go play with my friends.

This only partially works however. Characters only show up if they have been logged in at least once. It's always possible that somebody made a character to reserve a name, but never bothered to log it in.

I want to move my character to a friends server, but when I checked to see if the name was even available to begin with, it wasn't, despite it not being shown on the lodestone.

I think SE should create a new NA/EU Legacy server as both are currently full so the English Players on JP Legacy Ridill still cannot transfer to Hyperion to meet up with our companies/friends.
