Question about server transfer restrictions

[CrisGer]

How LONG does it take to do a transfer? a day? two days? a week? Do we get a refund for the days lost?

[HongKongPhoo]

Exactly. Although I do think it is bs that my friends on a legacy server cannot come join us because se is not allowing legacy characters to world transfer. This will more thank likely get them to switch to a different game which will cause most of my fc to leave as well.

Me and some friends planned to change servers on day 1 of transfers. Now im gonna wait 2 - 3 days and see what (if any) problems there might be. Really hope it dont take day/s, if so im gonna have withdrawal symptoms. Please se can you give abit more info on how long it could take to transfer

I want to know if you can transfer then transfer somewhere else shortly after the fact. Even if it's only 1 free but then can transfer after the paid moves start.

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...

What i wanna know is why arent server transfers instant? Pretty stupid for it to take days or whatever outside of instant.

[Spyrit]

As a legacy player I would pay cash to move from Hyperion to a non legacy server to join some friends, who couldn't make characters because of restrictions early on in the game. I don't have a single level 50, fact is the new players do, why do I have to transfer for one crowded server to another?

[LolitaLollipop]

So, does this mean Legacy server people wont be able to move at ALL? during the free period? that we are just forced to stay in the crowded legacy servers and will NEVER be able to get off them?!
Yes this is definitely not a fun situation for any of us Legacy players. The fact that we arent treated like victims of they whole server debacles from launch really does get under my skin. Ive been waiting for what two months now? to be able for all my friends to come together on one server and we chose Diablos but now I am the only one that wont be able to be there with all of them because im stuck in the hell hole known as Excalibur. Please S.E. we legacy have been with you from the start : \ you never steered us wrong, why are you choosing now to suddenly drop us down the f- you hole...

[Jay9]

Will quests that we have be retained through the transfer? There was nothing about this on the "Things" that would be kept on transferring.
