Q: Are you planning to have a world transfer service?
A: As this is a game with world barriers, there are a variety of situations that may arise. You could meet a friend that happens to play XIV, but your servers are different and you want to play together. Or you could make a friend while using the Duty Finder and wish to switch over to their world, so we'll be providing a world transfer service for these occasions. This will be a fee-based service that will allow you to transfer to the world of your choice, and it will be possible to transfer up to 8 of your characters. We plan on launching this service around 2-3 weeks after launch.

My question on this is ... If the server is locked how is it that I will be able to transfer my Toon from another server but I will not be able to create a new Toon from scratch on that server.?
I think this is we all want to know and not if the transfer service will be implemented or not.
