[Dev Help Please] Character Transfers Early

[Leedora]

+2 Votes here... (one for me and one for my BF who never posts on the forums lol)

We have both convinced a number of our friends from our long history of MMO playing to come play this game only to find that they can't create a character on our server due to the lockouts. We have all been in the mmo world long enough to not be frustrated too much by the login issues, but not being able to even make a character on the same server has put us all on edge. We are spread out on 4 servers now and we would all gladly pay to be on the same server. We aren't enjoying the game nearly as much as we could if we could play together. The only thing saving us from pulling our hair out each day is being able to be in ventrilo and chat with each other updating one another on where we are at for leveling and duty finder groups (both the positive and negatives of it).

I would gladly pay even $50 a pop if they would just let us do the transfers this week instead of two to three weeks from now... not to mention taking off the character creation lockouts. We are on leviathan and it has had lockouts with never being unlocked since day one of early release and maybe even as early as day 2 of phase 4 beta I just cant' remember anymore since it has been that long... =(

Here's Yoshi-P being interviewed on massively saying that server transfers will be in 2-3 months.

I really don't want to start all over just because our FFXI friends wouldn't listen when I said Excaliber would be full fast and we already had characters....TY SE for no EA for 1.0 preorder players.

Yes please server transfer ASAP. I want to rekindle to the people I used to play FFXI with. The server I wanted was full. SE put me into another server which I have never want it. I am sure the server I am in right now is a very nice server. SE I don't want to be a refugee.

I played FFXI for several years on and off with a few friends of mine and we eventually played 1.0 together. When we heard about ARR we all tried to use our 1.0 characters but for some reason one of my friends was never able to use his 1.0 so he played throughout the beta phases and carried his beta phase 4 character over. He is on cactuar along with a few of my other FFXI friends but my 1.0 character ended up on the Legacy server Ridill. Does anyone know if the server transfers are going to apply to 1.0 characters on Legacy servers as well? If not this would be a huge let down as my friend is already past lvl 40 on his new character and nobody wants to start completely over. Is there any way we will all end up playing together without having to start from scratch? Please SE I just want to be able to play with my FFXI friends.

bump!

Yes please! Do something about this Situation! I've been super patient so far, but NEVER can I get onto moogle... There are these 6 servers in tha EU/NA section which are just inaccessible since 5 days now!

[OrganizationXIll]

Bump again. Maybe now devs can say something about it lol.

Any news, since we are now in mid-September? Due to the launch situation, I have a few characters spread out on different servers and I've been holding off joining an FC waiting to find out if and how I can bring them all together.

We're now past the middle of September and i am at my wits end. I work and go to school so when i spent all of labor day with no success trying to log in and i had to sit there and try to log on or i would get even more behind the curve. First i had to make a character on a back water server because the one i wanted to play on with my friends was guess what? Now i have friends scattered across realms and i waited patiently until mid September. I'm having to sit in long queues and dealing with pugs or try and make my own group with people i don't know and frankly aren't good just so i can try and gear up in the little time i do have. Ohh and when i do have a group good to go i have to wait in a AK queue for over 30 minutes.

If i do not get the server transfers i was promised soon and i don't mean Blizzards Soon™... I didn't expect the game to be perfect out of the gate but with what i have had to tolerate so far, if this was any other game i would have dropped you like a bad habit.

I don't even need a transfer, but i think this issue warrants attention.

And OrganizationXIll, I really like your class lists in your sig, it's a perfect template to follow

Thanks ya sir!

I saw in the most recent live letter translation by rienheart that they said october right after mentioning it. So I hope they didn't push it back without telling us.
