Home world transfer is too expensive!

[JamieRose]

Since I began this game I've been pretty much on Zalera. The majority of my friends who play this are on Coeurl, but since Zalera is not a congested server I'm expected to shell out $18 US which is more than a month of sub to this game.

As much as I love this game, Squeenix's blatant, ridiculous and unnecessary overcharging for optional services have sullied it quite a bit. Have they not considered the possibility that home world transfer isn't a good deal at $18 which is why people don't use it unless the stars align and they can get it for free?

You can just go to the aetheryte at Limsa Lominsa, click it and visit coeurl.

Paid server/world transfers have been a thing for almost as long as they've been around. Aside from Blizz opening new worlds and letting people transfer for free for a certain amount of time, I can't think of a time that I've changed servers and haven't had to pay. Overall, if my poor memory serves, transfers have been more than $18.00 when I did them.

We're actually in the middle in terms of server transfer costs. I know some games that do it for as low as $10 and others charge upwards of $25-30. I think $18 would be reasonable if you're desperate to get out of a server/DC.

Nah...its quite cheap comparatively and yes, people do use it.

Huh... I guess I didn't just pay the $18 to switch from Faerie to Sargatanas. :O who knew!

To be fair, what is considered expensive to one person can be seen as cheap to another.

That aside, transferring servers is generally something that isn't done lightly so I think the pricing is decent for what it does.

When transferring servers in WoW, that was mentioned as the reason they charge the fee…it’s meant to deter impulsive transfers.

Well, the OP has complained about every aspect of xivs pricing so....

I think they just like to complain about monetary things.

In a world when someone thinks $18 USD is too expensive when other games charge $25 USD.
