Just my opinion regarding the difference between creation of new character and transferring a character:

- Transferred characters could possibly affect the economy of the server which the player is transferring from and to.
- Transfer players tend to bring over their Gils (capped at 10m), and other valuable items such as Materias, and crafting materials which could worth a lot in the new server. This also means the server the player is transferring out of will lose a chunk of those items (if the player is loaded). Which will in turn affect the market prices.

- Creating a new character has nothing (a subligar maybe).
