Server Transfers?

[Laughlyn]

like the title reads... "Server Transfers ?"

Im pretty much sick of being stuck on my current server, so i was asked by an in-game
GM on my current server to create a thread to "Spark some interest" as he/she suggested.
(um yeah, i asked the GM to get me the hellz of this world...i miss my friends!)

Well so here it is, im sure many others would like to get an official answer to this
as soon as possible since 2.0 is getting closer each day.

My questions.

1.) Will we be able to transfer freely to a realm when the new βeta
opens up or do we have to wait until 2.0 full release?

2.) Will we be able to change our names?

3.) I would also ask the Dev Team their point of views about harassments ingame?
How will this be adressed in FFXIV 2.0 ?

Im asking this mainly because last time this was reported nothing was done about it.
I would also like to point out, doing nothing about this will not increase the player base.

Anyone previously affected by something simmilar, speak up!
dont let these online trolls / bullies ruin your gameplay for you.

- I would'nt ask these questions if there were some actual facts about them.

I have a few reasons of my own to be asking this, a situtation that was both unfair and ignored since the situation i and many others of my previous world ended up in resulted in no change at all.
(Even with god knows how many reports filled)

1) we'll have another free transfer, maybe not in beta but surely prior of live 2.0, since they need to transfer data in that time
2)on this they're uncertain, they need to consider if this could damage databases
3)banhammer ? i don't know
At this time they don't have enought manpower to take serius measures to rmt and botters, so it's a kind of bordeline now. After 2.0 they'll surely take serius measures thou

Thank you for your reply.

Im actually expecting an answer from a community rep, or atleast that they
will forward this to the dev team with an official response.

Wich i highly doubt will happen.
In wich case should go ignored & unaswered i wont have a problem quitting
and find myself another game with better support and player safety.
(lol...if there's any such game out there, possibly a single-player game)

Im actully expecting an answer since we all now are paying customers,
not to mention all the crap some of the players since release date have had to put up with.

You have pretty low standard for quitting then. Keep in mind devs don't pass their time surfing this forum, but work on game localization too, and other tasks. Asking they respond to your topic because you're a paying customer , other than be a bit pricky, it's also pointless: they stated can't respond to topics directly asking their input.

The last thing, they responded to this very same questions multiple times, in dev posts or interviews, so you can add more reasons because they'll not respond here

you could only get on Ragnarok if you volunteered. did you not realize it was EU only or what?

What yuki speaks is the truth and if a rep came in here you'd get the same reply since it's been said before. (Hence where Yuki got her info from♪). The reps can't answer every.single.thread as much as we'd like them to but this does not mean they go un-noticed!
If this thread sparks enough of a player response you'll have more of a chance of a rep coming in here so don't shoot people down when they do respond


As for Ragnarok being EU only, it's got a mix of everyone including myself as an NA But the EU population is quite strong and it's quiet during NA primetimes which suits me just fine e_e haha.

I dont think its an unreasonable request to ask for confirmation or a date bracket or timeframe when people can move server. I have played on Ragnorak and the population is extremely low in comparison to Masamune. People who chose to move were told they could not move back but i dont think people were expecting that world to be as lowly populated as it is. Some people may well like things being quiet but this would affect the enjoyment of the game for players who like it to be a bit more busy and with more things going on. Being told to wait until who knows when is not really fair. Its also a bit worrying for people who are joining the game now wanting to get a head start on their levels before 2.0 to have to automatically begin on a server that does not have enough people to take part in the content.

[Laughlyn]

oh really?

how about i was forced to moved because in Game GM support did nothing
about harassment, not to mention disabling GM support the day this occured?

Spare me the bull... i know better than you comment.
I made the choice between staying around with my friends & keep getting harassed by a cretain x amount
of players in a certain LS at that time , each and every day....or...
move away to a new world because no one did nothing?

If you had any grasp of these events you would most likely have done the same.

"you could only get on Ragnarok if you volunteered. did you not realize it was EU only or what?"

This has nothing to do we what i knew or not, if anyone here is EU i bloody well am.
Just because i speak / write english dosent mean im US.

God... ive been around since first fail beta... now i have to change
my god damn "Display" character just for you to believe me too.

Thank you sophie, you didnt have to reply but thank you so much for support.
You know me better than anyone else in here now.

A friend of mine went to Ragnarok during the merge and found the server not to her liking so she asked a GM how long it would be before they open transfers and was told by the GM in a month. Well that month has come and gone and transfers never happened maybe something happened and they ended up delaying it until 2.0
