Help with getting on restricted server?

[Enkidoh]

I'm not sure about the account limitations with transferring a character, but I do know it is possible to transfer a character to a server that is currently listed as 'restricted' - it is how I got to Balmung myself, I was originally on Ridill (my old 1.0 server), and I ended up transferring to Balmung along with my friends and family, and I had no trouble with the transfer process, no errors occurred and the transfer was immediate.

So I think it's pretty safe to say that transferring an existing character to a server that is listed as 'restricted' is definitely possible.

Account wise, I pay my subscription with a debit card instead of a prepaid time card though which might explain why I had no issues transferring, hence I have no idea if time cards can be used for 'one-off' payments such as server transfers - my guess is they do not sadly.
