Server Transfer

[RinaB]

I'd like to server transfer but my big problem is my apartment. I'm not finding incredibly helpful information in regards to items. So if I demolish it, can I retrieve all the items from the housing npc once I transfer servers or do I need to have every piece in my inventory before I demolish and transfer?

From the FAQ for world transfer service (in general, you could be out 500k gil and will have to collect the stuff you can take with you before you transfer). Hope this helps.


Your character must not own any land, estate, or apartment housing.
* Ownership must be relinquished before a Home World Transfer will be possible.
* It is normally ONLY possible to perform a Home World Transfer without relinquishing ownership IF your character is transferring to a New World, or transferring from a Congested World to a Preferred World.
* Please note, some campaigns have specific requirements that override these general rules.
In these cases, the land or apartment will be automatically relinquished and a designated amount of gil reimbursed. The maximum amount that can be returned is 999,999,999 gil, and any gil exceeding this limit will be lost. Any existing estate on the land will be demolished.
* If you should transfer Home Worlds while participating in a housing lottery, please note the following:
① The lottery entry on your previous Home World will be invalidated, and you will receive no refund for your deposit.
② You will be unable to submit a lottery entry on your destination Home World until the next lottery entry period has started.
* A lottery entry invalidated by transferring Home Worlds may be reinstated by transferring back to your previous Home World before the lottery results period has ended. You may then finalize the purchase of a plot with a winning entry, or redeem a full refund of your deposit with a losing entry.

I'm a little confused because I want to transfer to a 'new' server but I'm concerned about my items. Like I may still have an apartment after the transfer but it will be empty? So it's safer to just pull everything out into my inventory is what I'm getting here.

You will need to remove all furnishings from your apartment before you can relinquish it and transfer.

There is no demolition for apartments. You can only get rid of one through relinquishing it. The game does not allow a player to relinquish housing until all furnishings have been removed.

In the case of a FC room, someone able to kick you from the FC can do so and then all your furnishings (except fixtures) would automatically be sent to the Resident Caretaker to be claimed.

* Please apply for a Home World transfer after removing your furnishings, but DO NOT vacate the apartment. If you have relinquished the rights to your property, you will not be eligible to receive the bonuses outlined above.

If you retrieve all your items first you should be good
