    When transferring server, what if on our target server there's someone else that has Exactly same name as me?
    I don't want my name changed into

    I saw somewhere that the transferred character will be prompted to rename upon logging in. Can't find source so, meh.

    That's what SE has done in the past (FFXI, FFXIV). If there's a conflict, it asks you to pick another name the first time you log in to that world.

    The two times FFXIV has done transfers before, it's been like this where lots of people would be choosing lots of destinations all at once. Instead of individual requests, there was an application period, and a Web page where you could see each world's population and if it was accepting transfers. (Those statuses could change during the application period.) When the application period ended, they did all the transfers while all worlds were offline. Maybe this time will be the same.

    I hope so. I wish that page you are referring to would be available all the time. xD

    Hello,

    We've seen questions from users asking us to clarify about what happens if the World you are transferring to already has a character with the same name as you. In this case, the person moving into that World would be prompted to select a new name.

    In other words, the person already residing on that World would retain their name.

    Would this be the only method one can change their character name? Or would a name change service be provided as part of the Optional Services at the Mog Station in the future?

    Out of curiosity, when this world transfer begins in October, will players be able to transfer to any world? Or will players currently on legacy worlds have to stay on legacy worlds? For people worrying about economy abuse, just implement a gil cap during the transfer and bind all equipment / inventory to the player (make it unsellable). That should solve any problems.

    I'm sure Legacies will be allowed to move. The gap between them and newer players had shrunk and the new worlds have established their economies even if they aren't 100% stable.

    I can see SE wanting to isolate the v1 characters with most classes Lv50 and over 20M gil, but there are a lot that don't have anything near that. On the other hand, if 4 straight weeks of 24-hour teleport-hack gather-bots and non-stop RMT ads haven't tanked the economies, maybe nothing will.

    But seriously, I would like to see it happen sooner than later. It's kind of confusing running 2 characters on 2 different servers.
