I'm considering returning to FFXIV, I played a long time and left shortly after crystal tower was introduced. The new servers weren't open to transfer when I stopped playing and I was wondering if they are now open and I would be able to transfer off a Legacy server to a different one.

I also noticed some new EU ones (Zodiark?), are they open and how are the UK populations? I ask because I have some friends who potentially want to to play too (new players, new characters) and I'd like to transfer to where ever they pick

Thanks in advance.
