World Transfer Services

[Mycow8me]

I've been very patient with this. I just want to play with my friends and I still can't because I'm on a legacy server and my friend is on a non legacy server.

The reason we aren't allowed to move to a non legacy server was an economical one correct? Why not allow people to move to those servers with a much lower gil limit like 1M across the character and all retainers, or even 500K.

Hell I don't care about my gil at all damnit, I just want to play with my friends. Don't tell me to create another character cause I won't. That's not the kind of response I would expect from SE.

To reiterate: I would transfer with 0 gil. So do something about the restrictive transfer rules and just mitigate the economy effects of transferring with more rules instead of just not allowing all together. The legacy servers are overpopulated anyway.

I hope someone else feels the same way. Gil means nothing to me compared to gaming with a buddy.

I wanna play with my buddy. Being stuck on a legacy server sucks.

^ This. I'd love to play with my friends and coworkers who are not on legacy.

You know your friends can move to your server. Non-legacy can move to a legacy. But now, your friends gotta wait till the transfers come back up and pay 25 dollars to get to you.

I was under the impression from the posting by Square-Enix during last week was allowing us to transfer our characters with up to 1 million gil and our retainers intact as long as they had no items for sale in the market. They were allow items in their inventory. However, the way it was worded you were allowed to transfer all of your characters during that week free. i was only able to transfer 1 character of 3 that I have, due to the issues with the servers / maintenance and they were limiting the transfers to 1 every 3 days "supposedly" yet I could not access it for the whole time - I transferred my 1 character that I did transfer on day 1.. I didn't get no other chances and I checked multiple times a day.. I feel a little cheated considering we were supposed to be able transfer more than one character. I understand things happen but shouldn't you be willing to make it up to us? Also I refuse to pay $25 dollars to transfer any character, I think that is insane. IF you let us COPY a character exactly keeping the original on the service you are on and the new copy on the new server you want to go to. That would be worth $25 Dollars. Right now as the rules sit for the transfers I am sorry, its a rip off.

Like Joewade I transferred an alt first ( to check server pop and performance) . Now my main is stuck, and nothing on the guide about a a 3 day lockout.

Had there not been so many issues with access through beta, head start and release I would not have characters of mine and friends spread across different servers.

This issue for me is that my buddy created a Free company and has friends on his server now. I have been actively avoiding free companies and making friends on Excalibur because I knew either he or I would move whenever possible. He wants to stay on his server and I have no problem moving to his (I'm willing to move) but the rules did not allow transfer from legacy to non legacy due to "economy effects". Those could just as easily been negated by more restrictions on items and gold for the transfer.

Legacy servers are already very full. If anything they should be thinned out if possible to the other servers.

The start of the game was botched and the free world transfer week was great but it did not solve the problem for "everyone". A lot of us are still stuck unable to play with the people we want.

Edit: Its almost a matter of fairness at this point. You botched the start, don't make us pay for it.

They could have, but does it make sense to have 20+ people that are already in a FC (some are friends of friends..) to move to my server instead of me moving to theirs? Especially when I'm on an already congested server.

I got cheated out of the free transfer.. When i submitted my request I always got sent to a maintenance. I contacted SE and they told me they couldn't do anything and i have to wait and pay. SE is getting really greedy with this game and as the days go by i'm slowly not wanting to play anymore because of there service to paying customers.

I personally think that a simple solution such as:

Characters created before (a certain date selected by SE, preferably around the time of beta and start of the game where selecting servers for character creation was messed up) get one free world transfer pass that can be used at any time as long as all other world transfer rules are followed.

Transferring from legacy => nonlegacy still needs to be allowed. As stated already, you can lower the economy effects with more restrictions on items and gold.

This way you guys can make money still off of legitimate world transfers and not problems created by the start of the game that isn't even our fault.
