I would venture to guess that majority of players who never played 1.0, are going to want to start on fresh servers (a lot of my friends who never played feel this way). I want to play with these friends but I also don't want to completely give up my 1.0 character.

SE should allow a legacy player to switch to a non-legacy server and lose all of its class/job levels, all of it's gil, majority of its items, etc. However, the catch would be that this player maintains all of its unique items (goobue, dalamud horn, deity ring, raven's earrings), maintains the journal of all previous quests and missions that were completed and for story-line purposes is considered a survivor of meteor. If SE was compelled to, they could remove the stats from the dalamud horn, deity ring and raven's earrings and there would be absolutely nothing throwing off the balance between a 1.0 player a a new player.

I think there are many 1.0 players who are reluctant to start fresh because they don't want to lose these certain traits that make their characters unique. Let us keep these traits if we switch servers. Possibly let us keep our GC rank as well.
