Discussion: What would get you to transfer servers?

[Elim]

My entire FC would need to be forced to transfer. We've been on Gilgamesh since ARR launch and everyone's made friends outside of the FC... so not many people are eager to leave.

I don't mind the idea of transferring off Gilga, but I'm not going to leave my guild that I've been in for 7~ years (we came from SWTOR) plus I'd miss my other friends. It's a bit much to ask me to give up all of that to ease overpopulation by one person.

The ability to transfer your house/fc house and a permanent lift of the gil restrictions.

I don't care about reimbursement for the plot, let me take the damn thing with me.

I think guaranteed housing and the entire FC transfer would get people moving. Since I keep seeing over and over the thing holding players back is the loss of their social connections and the loss of housing being the key stopgaps despite the transfer incentives being quite generous on paper.


This may be why Shirogane isn't open yet. Those homes are being held off to give tranferred FC's (and possibly players) their housing back.

My house would have to travel with me for me to transfer.

3K logins were enough incentive for me.

I wait Balmung open on Sep. When I go transfer from Odin.
Since my friend there. She can't move in Odin.

I guess if I can be guaranteed that I could take my house with me (together with all the furniture in place, as I spent a long time placing it), it'd be easier for me to take the step, so long as my friends are willing to transfer as well >_<

A brand new server where my house could come with me. I also dislike the "penalty" imposed for transferring to designated servers. I know it's only 90 days, but I like the option to moving away again if I decide the smaller server isn't for me.

A husband..give me a husband!

An official RP server, and the ability to transfer my house/FC and all of my characters' apartments. Even then, it would greatly depend on whether or not my friends would be willing to transfer also. I've been on Balmung for a long time, it's not easy to just pick up and move, even if it meant shorter queue times and a less crowded server.
