Discussion: What would get you to transfer servers?

[Dustytome]

Unfortunately because multiple servers partake in the transfers, I don't think they would be able to guarantee anyone the same plot, much less the same size plot. In addition they'd have to completely lock down the wards from anyone being able to buy a house on the destination server in such a case. Best case scenario is they'd keep all the workshop/airship progress locked to an fc instead of the house and allowed the fc to transfer over with the leader.

The ability to keep everything about my house intact.

Guaranteed Housing and the ability to take all my gil with me instead of just a portion of it.

Wait. Do you have more than 999,999,999 gil?

Good god.

God god.

lol no but I didn't see they lifted that gil restriction for fresh worlds until after I posted this. I still would have to be guaranteed housing tho.

Jesus. Well, it looks like the issue isn't going away unless SE hires some magicians. :P

Then I seem to misunderstand. Though how long was each person playing, if I may ask? Because "not long" at all can be skewed. I remember one small FC I was part of took a good few weeks to reach rank 8 because everyone involved could only play a few hours at a time. And even then, a lot of people don't really want to do that grind again when there's a bunch of other grind activities they need/want to do. Otherwise the airship parts argument wouldn't be very "valid" either.

Either way, more power to the FC's that can and are willing though.

about 15 mins each, as we all turned in every 250-270 piece we hadnt been able to since 3.4

Ah, then thank you! Then yeah, I suppose it's definitely more a "your mileage may vary" sort of thing.

I don't think we had mass turn ins of gear, but the very active core was probably playing a bit more than standard due to the new expansion. I'd guess the 8-10 of us were playing on average about 4-5 hours per day with the other 4-6 players playing maybe an hour or two in the whole of the 2 days.

If we did have mass turn ins, I wasn't aware or part of the effort.
