Petition for change to World Transfer restrictions

[Steeled]

I understand that people were desperate to create a character on any server but most people, deny it though they will, knew that they couldn't freely transfer from legacy to non-legacy. If you created a character on a legacy server, you knew what you were doing.

To be honest, if you created a char on different servers at all, you knew the risk. It's very nice of SE to allow server transfers like this, since it was their "fault".

However, yeah, transferring between data centers, even if a special one-time process, should be designed and permitted. (Make the application, and a dev does it manually sort of thing, even if they never offer such a service again).

How do y'all come up with this stuff? Do you HONESTLY think that "most knew about this"? If SO many people knew about this then WHY are SO many this pissed off? Are we all just that shallow & ignorant?

I know for sure none of my friends read a single forum before we played the game. We bought it, popped it in the ps3 or pc, and were just EXCITED to play!
Hell the first time I went to the forums was because I thought my ps3 was messed up. Nope. Complete chaos on here, especially for someone who's not a forum reader. I STILL have a beta girl floating around in space somewhere because I gave up trying to get her back on ps3. Little did I know that it was a problem btwn SE and Sony. That was only after pouring over forums for ever with misinformation and gossip.

SOME of us honestly just expect a game to work, and if something does go wrong, THEN we go see what's up. If you choose to read every single post when you don't have issues then great. (I'm married, have a toddler, go to a University, and doing hospital observation hrs. I have goals and a life outside this game!)
I don't have that kind of time. Oh and apparently neither do SEVERAL PEOPLE OR WE WOULDNT BE LOSING OUR COOL ON A WEBSITE! Why are people so sure of themselves when it's obvious what they are saying cannot possibly be correct?!

Also, it's very "Nice" of them? BS! I would certainly have been appreciative of a free transfer, HOWEVER
#1 the said screw you Legacy people, so they aren't doing a damn thing for me or my kind or even trying to calm the craziness!
#2 If you order fast food and they repeatedly get it wrong and after tons of attempts they say "Here's you're money back, enjoy the food and we're terribly sorry for the screw ups. We hope you come back and give us another chance" They are not doing me a FAVOR. They are RIGHTING a WRONG which is called GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

And Itachi I'm so tired of you block-headed narrow minded people who either think we are making this up for our health, or that you just have allll the answers. Have you not read that there are TONS of ppl who have stayed friends with many XI players? I have 7 old LS friends trying to get me with them and 3 RL friends as well. If EVERYONE has to come TO the Legacy servers do you have any idea what that's going to do? The minimal issue might be that there's sever congestion again. The worst case? We are all thrown god knows where, and the ones that managed to be together will then be split from their assured world/friends/and FC to come to me. Not to mention I was unwillingly placed on a JP legacy with odd maint. hrs and no one uses auto-translate. So NOW I have to move to one of 2 possible US Legacy servers that are already crowded, OR risk being a rare US player on a JP server with little options for who knows how long. So Now All My Tons Of Friends Have To Follow Me Off Of My Server To a Risky US Server Which Will Likely Be Full. That Means Some Of Us Will Get To Transfer To Our Legacy Server, Others Will Likely Be Placed On a World SE Is FORCED To Create Because It's So SCREWY In the FIRST place... I'm pretty sure you either wont read that, or will still wanna come up with more asinine stuff just to argue for argument's sake. ALSO you are from SHIVA and YOU'RE NOT PISSED BECAUSE ITS NOT HAPPENING TO YOU lol (takes a deep breath)

I swear I leave this forum mind-blow by the people who comment on these posts.

[Itachi]

As for me being willing to leave my World, it's really none of your business and I see no reason to mock me about it but I will tell you that I have not joined (or created) a Free Company yet BECAUSE of the uncertainty of the server situation and not knowing where my daughter and I will eventually be.

the second part was about the reasoning which many people ,who demand to transfer from legacy to non-legacy, use and not about you directly.

Oh please, you know it was a relaunch and that they were keeping legacy players separate from new players, unless people wanted that option. It's reasonable to expect that this would mean everyone playing on legacy servers, so you couldn't just mule the majority of your gil and dominate a brand new server.

I give up. YOU'RE RIGHT! That's what you all want to hear lol so.. YOU ARE RIGHT ^_^ We all knew. Every single one of us! Caught us red handed. And YOU figured it out! They should hire you Sherlock!!! If I was as smart as you I guess I would have known what a gd Legacy server even was lol.... At least I'm not the only one who didn't know since Ive read it in many posts... I had to reroll and wasn't sure what Legacy ment, but it sure sounded cool! So yes my airhead move for picking it!!! OH and My Husband's character from 1.0 had been placed on Ridill so idk why I would have even considered picking another, especially since at the time no US servers were open and I didn't wanna be separated from him until transfers came out. All's we know is we quit a few months into 1.0, the game launched again, we got super excited, heard we didn't have to buy it again and he could do beta, and all seemed great! Then we couldn't figure out the ps3 issues from the beta we played ONE day before shutdown. So we ran out and bought another PS3 copy just to play.

And obviously you haven't read all the other threads. If you had you would know that no one's trying to dominate a thing, or ruin anyone's parade. Most of us have said "Take what ever you want from us, just let us move!" But since you are right about us already knowing, I guess that ment we wanted to work so hard just to beg SE to take away nearly all of our financial progress. GENIUS! IT ALL MAKES SINCE NOW. Lmao, no really it does!

Again, asinine arguments of people tryin so hard to be right in an issue that they aren't affected by.
BUT AGAIN!!!!!! You're right and we are all wrong. We should be friends so you can tell me when I'm wrong again the next time!!!

Where is the website for server transfers? I can't find it

Play it however you want, but yeah, most people knew. Your "husband's character from 1.0" and you didn't know what legacy meant? How could you not.

No, what happened is people jumped in, wanted to play (which they had every right to, since they bought the game/earned playtime from 1.0) and created a character on the first server that would let them, but honestly, Legacy are special servers. What else could legacy have meant? It's not a language so it had to mean something special.

No, see, maybe you aren't trying to dominate a market, but there are plenty of people in mmo's who enjoy just that, and enjoy it very much more when they got a headstart on the competition. I have read the other threads, and sympathize a little with folks in the honest position of just rolled on the first server that would let them (that's how a lot of NA's ended up on JP servers). That's why SE said no legacy transfers ahead of time.

I have a level 49 on Ridill with I think a craft leveled and a few subs leveled. I would have loved to plop him right over on the server where all my friends play. Don't assume that because I'm not upset, it doesn't affect me.

MOST of this is a few people who simply ignored what legacy meant, did what they wanted and then were upset when SE stuck to their guns on transfer policy.

Play it however you..

Quite a few actually had no choice but to roll on a legacy server, irrelevant of what it meant. And for the record i had absolutely no idea what it meant. I presumed it was either an older server or the first few servers that hosted the game, in which case i expected legacy to be the FIRST allowed off for transfers to non leg since they had been on there long enough and maybe some wanted to get off.
And guess what, the 1.0 players were given the option of a transfer apparently, around June-July. While the 2.0 players like myself didn't have that choice, nor a choice on what server to roll on right at the start and now no choice again to leave a legacy server to join friends on non legacy.
And all this economy mumbo jumbo, has no validity to it as i stated in my previous post regarding FFXI.
So i'm not sure what you're defending here but put yourself in my shoes right from the get go and then tell me, how would you feel?

As for the few, you mention, here's a link to a thread.
And let me add, one of the biggest threads on this forum.

but put yourself in my shoes right from the get go and then tell me, how would you feel?

I would not have to put myself in your shoes because I did a little bit of research/reading and learned that legacy servers wouldnt get a transfer to new servers until at lease 6 months. Everyone complaining are the people who just jumped blindly in with no clue what they were doing. That is your fault now you are trying to blame SE for it. Even if I would not have been able to get into a regular server I would have waited and not joined a legacy server. It is your fault for being impatient if you are stuck in a legacy server sorry.

They are not going to let you transfer from legacy to non for some time you are just going to have to deal with it or quit playing. I'm sorry to say but those are your only options.
