Sorry I wasn't being clear. I meant FREE world transfer. Where is there any mention of "FREE" world transfer? I can easily see SE allowing PAID world transfers (WoW does that all the time). And yes WoW does allow free transfers from heavily populated servers to lesser ones but a) they have a history of doing that and b) they've mentioned it on their site and twitter and blogs. SE does not have a history and they have NOT mentioned "FREE" world transfers anywhere on their sites.

Fair enough. I imagine that should they be rather restrictive about it that they would probably open up a short, and I do emphasize short, window where players can transfer their characters for free. While I do hope SE does not do this, you are absolutely right in that it is a very real possibility that they may charge to do so, or they may simply transfer excess players without any warning. I am hoping that this does not come to pass, as many people will be extremely upset, including myself.

Idk what you guys are complaining about. I mean, I love error 1017. We've become friends. So much to the point that I'm going to name my kid error 1017. I think we should all just stop posting so much negative commentary about 1017. He's just doing his job. It's not his fault that out of all the errors he's the one getting blamed for it.

I mean this is what it has done to us

wait... yea that is what we have been complaining about right? no wait that has nothing to do with it... People can't get on the game SE...

Not only was I not able to log on most of the early access because of damn server issues, now that I bought the game I still can log on!! This is ridiculous!! How do you expect people to want to pay for 3months (or 1 month at that) if they can even play this damn game! With all of these server issues the game should be FREE until you figure something out Square Enix!!!

Hey, I know what it's like to have angry customers yelling in your face when there is absolutely nothing you can do to help them. It sucks. Still, you've gotta do something - they're CUSTOMERS. This is one of the only subscription mmo's on the market, in addition to the initial cost of the game- high.

SE said they won't be able to fix the problem until next week. If nothing is changed soon, by next week they will have lost a lot of money. SE says they fear widening population limits will crash the server. As a buisness, SE should be thinking of other ways to help alleviate this problem that aren't widening caps. I'm unable to understand how server queues, afk kick, and free server migration would interfere with population control. If this is the case, I really would appreciate SE letting me know why they are not thing up alternative solutions to the problem, or at least offering compensation.

You won't lose my business because the game is great, but you're definitely going to lose people, SE. I love the game. Just please. Throw us a bone.

I'd love to know why this isn't resolved already... How can you not expect this to happen on launch and not raise server caps or boot AFK players... What am I paying for? I've been trying to log in for almost 3 hours now and I keep getting that sassy message.

[BlueCat]

I cant log into any of my characters due to this error.... NONE of them....what am i supposed to do, remake a new character every night to play?? this is totally awesome, due to the amount of people who want to play, but also TOTALLY sucks that i cannot play my toons i have leveled already.. if a toon is a on a server it should be allowed on.....
