After quite some significant time playing, I'd like to transfer my character to another server for personal reasons. However, I've noted that the service appears to be more punishing to more long term users.

The 1 million gil limit is understandable regarding in-game economy, yet I have a lot more than 1 million gil - nearly double that. Should I purchase items of high value in order to make use of my gil rather than waste it? If anyone knows of an item I can resell to regain my lost gil, that would be incredibly helpful.

I'd also like some help regarding server population on the Chaos data centre - I've had my eye on Phoenix and Cerberus. If anyone can provide a rough population estimate, I'd be very grateful as I'd rather transfer my character to a less crowded server.

Then again, I'm currently in Zodiark so I'm sure wherever I go it'll be crowded. (Laughs) Thanks for the help in advance!
