[suggestion] one free transfer after server capacity increased

hola bump!

Something like this would be great. I would like to play with a friend, but he can't make a character on my server because it is packed to the gills and locked. I'd be happy to move my character to a less crowded server so we can play together.

The reason I say there should be more servers is because of just how congested the current servers are.. and not just because of the lag or duty finder issues. I'm talking about FATEs literally taking 3-5 minutes and being a joke, or having to fight 10 other people for the same 5 mobs and never getting any credit unless you get lucky and happen to have one spawn near you.

Not having this issue with fates.. at all... and I'm on Balmung

I've seen several threads asking when paid transfers will be available. If you click the Account button from the launcher and log in to the MogStation, here is what it says under Optional Services:

"* World transfer service is scheduled to begin mid-September."

Hope that helps.

Just a bump to hopefully get SE to consider this. It would be awesome to allow friends, family, linkshell mates a one off chance to reunite free, since many servers were locked in EA and on launch, splitting many apart. Thanks

Mind my hips.

If my google translate skills are any good then it seems like some Japanese are now asking for a free transfer period as well. Link below:

I personally think they should open more servers rather than increase the capacity of the current ones. I also think that they should offer a free transfer to accommodate this, of course.

expect competition in an MMO, we need capacity NOT more servers. Hate to bring it up but WoW and every other MMO can handle 5000. With a 2013 brand-new server and game there should be no reason they can't do much better than 5k.

I have played 1-40 practically and there are no issues with FATEs on our server, ESPECIALLY after 30 (shouldn't be too many fates prior to 30 anyways).

I can only really support this move if the free moves are to low population servers only. If people can transfer to high-population servers, it will just cause the same problem again with the world being full, and people on the forums complaining that SE hates gamers because their servers are always full.

a Server transfer was in the works before the game launched, the mog station has been advertising a mid September transfer option.

During this time legacy and non Legacy alike will likely be able to transfer, also New Players can create characters on legacy servers. by mid September there really wont be any advantage of Legacy characters, a transfer between any world would hurt nothing, just make it easier to connect with friends.

I hope that answers the questions xD
