Petition for change to World Transfer restrictions

[ImeXo]

Okay, I have a huge beef with the way the restrictions are done for the World transfer.

By no fault of the loyal players trying to actually play the game, some may have chosen to create their characters on Legacy server and some created their characters on a different data center (on the JP or EU or even NA servers) believing that once the world transfer comes along they can right the wrong by getting back to the servers their friends or other characters are situated. But thanks to SEs restrictions, this is not the case has hoped.

So my petition is this, if you're concerned with the economy so much, make it so that Legacy "characters" (not new characters stuck on legacy servers) face a steeper penalty if they choose to migrate to a newer server such as they can not take with them any gear that isn't spirit bound like someone suggested (that idea isn't my own) so they can not sell it back on other markets and restrict them from bringing crafting materials or something of that sort. Also reduce the amount of gil that can transfer to maybe 1mil gil for the character and 500gil for retainers (again this is an idea I picked up in the forums and thought it was a good suggestion).

Find away to allow characters to change data centers so we don't have to start all over again.

It's not fair to anyone that first, we were unable to choose the world we wished to play on and then punished just because we had no choice in picking that world due to character creation restrictions or servers being too full to let players join their friends.

If anyone other there feel the same please sign this thread and hope that SE will respond kindly to this thread.

..This isn't a petition; this is just a crying statement.

A petition lists the reasons as to why the changes need to happen and to what specifics needs to be changed. Rethink your "plan" and try again later.

And that is? If it's the fact that legacy can't transfer to non legacy then what was stopping you from posting in one of the 50 other threads on the subject?

They did say in an interview before launch that server transfer from Legacy would be no sooner than six months.

I tend to think its a good idea.

Everyone who thinks it's a good idea isn't in our shoes.
Setting caps would defiantly allow us to move; there's no reason we shouldn't be able to.

And to the "6 month" thing, some of us don't get to spend hours pouring over tiny details. Especially with so many F'ups & official reports coming out constantly. I'll take blame for not being informed though.

However! These threads are coming out left and right & I am AMAZED at how nothing's been done!
It's pretty apparent that not only I, but MANY others must have missed the memo about world transfers waaaay back.

If they would just POST something saying "here's why, sry, & we're working on it.." anything. Instead, they ignore the elephant in the room.
That didn't work so well in 1.0, and it's not going to work here. Hell even some ppl tired of the game might feel revived enough to carry on if they could actually play with friends. Friends who they convinced to buy the gd game in the first place.

There is a reason why its "characters on a legacy server" instead of "legacy characters". That is because of the increased amount of gil on the legacy servers from 1.0 days. Even if your not a legacy character you can still amass gil from the legacy players. If your on a legacy server then enjoy the ride, SE said the legacy restrictions from the beginning

Except half of us who rolled on a legacy server DO NOT play or are NOT in LS's or FC 's with ANY Legacy Players; So your Amassing gil from Legacy Players only holds true for selling on the Market; and even then the Market on Balmung is trash unless its a Tier IV Materia.

Gilgamesh's market; A non legacy server, is about the same as Balmungs. Your argument is invalid.

[Lafier]

Wrong. Not all players just piddle around. Some actually make gil. You can't put restrictions on 1 person and make exceptions for another. If you wanted to you could just make a new account and trade all your gil to this 'non legacy' character and move to a non legacy server with millions of gil. Its all or nothing.

I'd be willing to give up my gil (23k lol) to transfer personally. Other than that there is no advantage legacy have over non legacy.

[Lafier]

Even if SE removed all gil from a player when they moved off it doesn't stop them from spending it beforehand on endgame sellable items before they transfer. It would just be too inefficient to have to investigate each and every player that wants to transfer off.
