Are we able transfer any of our characters in upcoming world/servers?

[Mysticstrider]

I was wondering if anyone knows if we're allowed to transfer any of our current characters from the JP datacenter or congested NA/EU world/servers to the new upcoming new world/servers that they'll add soon? If they have some cool server names like the ones from the ARR Alpha test or FFXI servers with the names of monsters, summon, characters, etc. such as: Quetzalcoatl, Sephiroth, Kefka, Ultimecia, or city names from the original 1.0 servers like Besaid, Lindblum, etc.it'll be really nice to see some of these names, just saying.

may anyone confirm this? would appreciate it a lot.

Well since transfers don't start for another two weeks or so I would suppose they will have the servers evened out a bit better so ya I bet you will. If your a legacy member though transferring legacy to non-legacy takes away your moolah and some other stuff. Just not the level of your classes and jobs.

Wait, so what do you mean as a legacy member, do you also mean non-legacy members like 1.0 players who've played since 1.0 will have some missing items if we're allowed to a non-legacy server? Do you have any info on this? I hope they don't, I really would like to keep my christmas costume, halloween costumes, easter, and some of the other event items that I've obtained. If they'll allow us to keep our items from these events, then that's fine. I'm just curious what's the details on the items that they'll remove from our 1.0 characters.

all unique untradables will remain I believe, I'm pretty sure. It's just they don't want people going in with all the newcomers and ruining the market with overpriced crap for the next little while.

There will be no transfers from legacy servers to any of the new servers for a looooong time (Yoshi mentioned around 6 months after launch).
And even then, the amount of things (Gil, crystals, items) will be severely restricted to prevent a flooding of the respective markets. If there
are free transfers to the worlds opened next monday, it is quite likely the same restrictions will apply; e.g., they may open up a couple of
new "legacy" servers along with the new "new" ones.

Okay, makes sense. I was thinking the same thing,.

At this stage of the game non legacy servers should really have a ton of level 50's with a few million gil running around, heck, I started a new char on my Legacy server and even though I'm incredibly lazy I have tons of materials, a level 30 whatever Arcanist, a bunch of crystals and am not lacking in gil. There is no logical reason to lock Legacy server players from transferring to the new servers, they already took a hit to their gil (2.0 gave them 10% of their original gil, had 1m to start, only have 100k now).
