Legacy to Non-Legacy World transfers

[Reiterpallasch]

I'm on a legacy server (Hyperion) and my wife is on non legacy (Leviathan). From what I've seen between our two servers, the markets aren't really all that different. Both AHs are full of T IV materia, ilvl 70 gear, philosophy materials, etc. Some of those items go for more on my server, some go for more on hers. The two markets really aren't that different in any significant way. Those are only two servers out of many, but from what we've seen there's not much that opening transfers would do to hurt the economy in any significant way.

In a way the limitation is already there you can only bring 3m when you transfer and 1m on each retainer. Thats 5m total. Now a lot of legacay players like like 90+m due to all the gil that was in 1.0. So you really can't transfer off unless you want to have a bunch of your gil deleted.

It is going to be a very long time before they allow Legacy players to transfer to a non-legacy server. If you go by the averages there is still a large advantage for Legacy players that have everything leveled and a nice stockpile of cracked materia and other now valuable crafting materials they may not have had in the past.

I know they said 6 months but with the other delays I don't realistically see it even being considered until after March.

Being that you are not heavily invested in your character (most classes are level 0, you don't have a ton of crafts, etc). I would highly recommend you look into joining your friends on the non-legacy server with a new character (you can keep your old one).

Hope that helps

They stated early on it would be 6 months. I have a legacy character waiting to transfer with about 20 TIV cracked materia (I can trade them in for any TIV materia). This is one of the reasons why allowing a transfer now would cause drastic changes in a non-legacy economy. It is not only the gil that matters, but the items we have from 1.0 that are now harder to get. We used to buy the tome crafting materials for gil in 1.0 from NPCs, some of us have tons of these rare materials and materia.

If this is the problem then why don't they just restrict 1.0 characters from transferring to a non-legacy? My character isn't 1.0 and frankly is rather pitiful in comparison to the standard that is apparently being held for Legacy server players. Heck, I would bargain I've got less wealth than 80% of the players on a non-legacy server :/
