NA / EU / JP server=No transfer

[Evangelus]

Will there be old server with the tag EU or US ? And can we transfer our old character to them ?

It's a question that many US and EU players want to know the answer

Yes, and they avoid the question ... i hope "legacy" characters will not be blocked on JP server.

Yes thank you very much. So its not going to be final. The posibility to migrate from one server to another will sooner or later be possible?

here something i read on the french forum.It's not a question about lag but economy. Your server turn EU and your NA, then so sorry your stuck with it.

"Our goal with the implementation of dedicated servers for new players is to create a world where the economy has no history. Therefore, players "Legacy" will not receive an option to transfer their characters "v1" to these servers from the release of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

New players will be able to create new characters on the servers of players "Legacy" to join them. This option will be available as long as the maximum server population will not be reached. Similarly, players "Legacy" will create a new character on dedicated servers to new players.

We are not yet able to confirm what stage during beta your characters will be permanently associated with the servers on which you are. We will share information once the schedule is finalized."

The portion you quoted is specifically referring to the fresh "New Player" servers that we plan to introduce and that only fresh starting new characters will be able to join (whether that's a completely new player, or a brand new character of a returning player) and this restriction will be in place for a specific period of time (not yet finalized).

It goes on to say that new players will be able to join existing/established worlds as long as there is room on the world, but that old, returning players cannot move to the brand-new "new player" worlds.

Hopefully that clears it up!

First, the old servers are gone...while it might be true that servers might in fact carry, the old names, not a single one of us is still on those servers. Those servers effectively 'died' when FFXIV 1.0 did. Therefore, while they might come out and say things such as Ridill=JA veteran characters and Sargantas=NA veteran characters, people who use to be on those servers aren't in fact, locked into those servers.

Instead, based on the french forum post that Mikoto found, it appears that we can only get 'locked' to a server sometime during beta or even at ARR official launch. So for right now, just plan on having a 'server' transfer with your friends and ls's...and DON'T plan on having an automatic spot reserved on the world your character currently resides on...cause seriously, that world was blown up. I saw it.

Thought that was fairly obvious ^^;

As soon as we know which existing servers are getting which location brands, I'm sure lodestone and Linkshell forums will have plenty of topics so we know who is transferring where.

Will that clear that up

We allow to switch to any of the new worlds just not the world made for new players. Make sense that mean we allow to switch to Server that are base in NA,EU or JP.

Cause Balmung is hoppin full awesome..


Also can someone please show me the stupid door because I'm slightly confused lol

How I read Matt's post is that there will be a time that old players can transfer to the new player servers. But I swear the next lines say that will never happen.

I'm sure I'm just being a bad reader so, yeah someone show me my sillynes.

No, the second sentence does not applies a conditional again, so it's simple to presume that the conditional of the first sentence still applies.

"You can not do x, unless you y" "something else related, also remember you can't do x" does not contradicts the 'unless you y'

that what we want to know also would we know which world are base in NA or EU so we can switch to it. but i'm guessing they don't know what they going to do yet themselfs.

I don't know why SE is making it so hard on themself. Make new worlds NA,EU,JP make few of them for old players and make few set only for people with level 1 char can enter.

They making it harder on themself when it's so simple.
