How much do you think server transfers should cost?

Some people will want to move around once server transfers become avaiable maybe they want to move to their own regions server, but how much will they cost?

In FFXI they cost $25, which if you asked me is a bit expensive these days. However in Rift they are free and you can server transfer every 7 days.

How much do you think server transfers should cost in FFXIV?

XIV isn't like XI, to be honest...

I really think that server transfers should cost say $25. I know it's kinda expensive, but if you can transfer for free there are going to be a lot of people who abuse that.
As you say Pink; in Rift you can transfer every 7 days and it's free. What's a week of no-play if you gank a bunch of gear/gil from your linkshell, transfer to another server and change your name (by creating an alt on the target server)?
If the server transfer costs something substantial, say $15~$25, people are going to be much less inclined to abuse it.

the way you cant abuse it it is put timers on transfers like FFXI 90 days, i dont know if they still have timers but thats the only way. some of us make more the that an hour at work so its nothing, we can abuse it.

I could afford to abuse it, but I'm frugal as heck lol D: so I definitely wouldn't ><.

The 90 day timer is there still I think? I'm not sure, it's been over 2 years since I quit XI Q_Q;. I think the 90 day timer would work beautifully though, I totally forgot about that. Thanks Indi!

except a week is not enough to be accepted by a LS that gets shit done and then get stuff ... even tho FFXIV's way of loot will make point hoarding system moot ...i figure you still need more than a week ..a lot more

You are right Warlock! Sorry I was very tired when I wrote this post><

I still believe that if the timeframe between transfers was 7 days and no charge, certain people would be more inclined to take advantage of players and then just bail with no consequences^^;

Have a good day everyone!

Awww hehe, for those that want to move simply because of content stuff, I think content finder would work perfectly^^ But sometimes you just wanna pack yer pixellated bags and go somewhere else ;;

I hope you had a good christmas/new year's War! X3

Since I can tell that ARR will probably make us to create more characters than just one... What make it necessary for us to pay for one?

Being forced to have one character like XI? Um no... In XI, they always know who I am and really they need to get a life...
