[Dev Help Please] Character Transfers Early

[seekerofpower]

I saw this

This is an optional paid service that allows characters from active service accounts for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn to be transferred to a World of your chooosing.
* Due to fluctuations in World populations, certain Worlds may not be available for transfer.
* World transfer service is scheduled to begin mid-September.

So we will have to pay more money to transfer to our friends, even after we were locked out in the first place? this is pretty low to do to your customers?

This is really outdated. The first round of transfers will be free and it has been pushed to early Oct.

To others, I am completely against name changes and I hope they never implement them. It allows people who troll and AFK in dungeons, etc. an easy out. People starting to remember your name and not wanting to do things with you? Just change your name!

EDIT: I can't seem to find now where it was said that there would be free transfers due to the launch issues, so, until it is confirmed again, I would take it as hearsay.
