Question about server transfer restrictions

Way to screw over legacy players.. Its starting to feel like Legacy is a curse rather than a reward.

Ok I have a question about server transfer. So I have a friend that had to make a toon on another server so I made one on that server to play with him till he could transfer to play with my guildies and I. But I have so much time invested into this toon now that I want it to be my main. Will it be possible for me to transfer this toon to server that I already have a character on?

Same here, I want to go to Behemot with my main Character. I already have created a char on it, but its listed as a crowded server. So, I need to know if this transfer is possible...

Economy? Not really a valid reason.

I've played FFXI for 5 1/2 years and i still recall when SE released the game to its EU/NA customers and we were thrown in with the JP players that had been playing for close to 2 YEARS and had amassed gil and were geared to the teeth when all the EU/NA players joined. All the EU/NA players never said anything and we got on with it and it all worked out fine.

So this economy reasoning goes out the window.

What? That's not even remotely the same thing as this. What you're describing is the same as a new player choosing to play on a legacy server.

It is NOT the same as suddenly dumping hundreds of millions of gil into a different server.

In WoW when server transfers first came it took around a day for the transfer to work. Now days its less than an hour.

If it takes more than a day here, the service is abysmal.

Except that, like others have been pointing out, there is most likely going to be thousands of transfers to get through. Now, there may well be less, and then it will be faster, but also when WoW introduced it, it was not free. There will be people taking advantage of this just because they can. You know people are free stuff.

this sucks. as i accidently transfered a 1.0 mule to the wrong server because i forgot to check retainers before i transfered it so now i can not transfer to the correct server 4 free because of creation limit thats crap.

I am so glad I waited for 2.0. Early last year I was debating if I should make a 1.0 account to get legacy. Now I am happy that I didnt

when na joined 11 they raised the lvl cap from 50 to 75 so BAM gear reset.

Has anything been mentioned about the wait time involved between transfers? If someone pays for one transfer, how long until they can pay for another? Is it immediate, a few days, a few months, etc?

XI was something like 3 months, which was absolutely horrible.

I want to transfer but there it isnt open yet at mogstation...

[Drifter979]

Its been the "15th" for damn near 6+ hours now... Why can I still not transfer wtf.

Inb4 "we are sorry, we're going to have to push the date back end of October early November."

This^ x1000000000000000000000000000000%

I really hope SE reads this, 3 months for a transfer cool down is stupid when you have to PAY $25 per xfer.
