Question about server transfer restrictions

[Rex]

I still wanna know how were going to be able to know if are name is taken in the server were applying to...-.-

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...
