World Transfer questions for those who have done it...

[Mere]

Just be careful to not have a placeholder character with the your name on that world. I just got screwed out of a weekend of play because I had no warning that the forced name change wont let you reuse the old name.

Did you resolve your issue ??

I did the exact same thing, and even after I deleted the placeholder it still doesn't allow me to use the name.
I'm waiting for monday to call support, but I'm scared that they might not want to help me with this mess D:

Edit: Lesson to learn:
If you have a placeholder character in your destination server, make sure to delete it first, BEFORE applying for a transfer. It takes approx. 20 mins for the system to update that the character has been deleted, and so the character that you going to transfer won't be locked behind a "Must change name" flag.

Hello

Wanted to follow up on this again as there seems to be some confusion on what I'm being told about the amount of gil. Heres a link to the world transfer info and it says on there now:

Furthermore, characters can only transfer 3 million gil, while retainers can only transfer 1 million gil. Please be aware that excess gil will be lost.

And heres a link that says the one million and 100k per retainer, so which one is it lol

It will be the second one (http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...4c3d8619e086af) as this refers to 'paid' transfers whereas the first one was for the free transfer period.

Quote "World Transfer Service free of charge from Tuesday, October 15, 2013, to Tuesday, October 22, 2013, 01:00 a.m. "

So unfortunately it is 1million per charactrer and 100k per retainer. (and $18 lol)
