Post subject:  Character and World Transfer Information
Important Information regarding the transfer of your 1.0 character and what will have happened to all of their items, gil, and access to various things.

This quote says all characters have been moved to random regions (worlds moved together). The link they give states that Hyperion is now a North America/Europe world. Where exactly is that? Hell knows. Maybe it's just an East Coast server if it's intended for both NA and EU together. That works out well for us.

Quote:
For FFXIV: ARR, additional data centers have been established in regions outside of Japan. Version 1.0 character data has been transferred to these regional data centers, and will be subsequently transferred to Worlds bearing the same names as before.

In the event that your character data has been transferred to an undesired region, we ask that you submit a World transfer application. Applications will be accepted during phase 3, and transfers will occur during phase 4.

World Transfer Info:

Character Transfer Info:

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl ... 51085f4be3

Quick summary of important info:
  • All characters will be wearing the new starting RSE gear.
  • Your starting city will be determined by what class you choose to start as.
  • Character appearance can only be changed when the game releases, not during beta. You will only be given one chance to change your appearance. Make some characters in beta to try different looks out.
  • You'll lose some of your abilities until you do the quests that unlock them.
  • All attribute points are reset and refunded.
  • All linkshells are kept intact unless the leader world transfers.
  • "A Relic Reborn" progress is saved, but the quest is not available until after phase 4.
  • Any item in your inventory that has been removed from the game (arrows, obsolete crafting materials, etc) has been converted to gil.
  • Your retainers must be rehired, but will already be carrying your stuff once you rehire them.
  • Anything that doesn't fit in your new inventory will be carried by a "Salvager" NPC to collect from.
  • All spiritbond has been reset to 0%. All durability has been reset to 100%.
  • Friendlists are carried over, but all friends must be re-accepted.
  • 1.0 characters can use the materia system, armoury system, and inns, without doing the quests that would normally unlock them (providing they had them before).
  • Everyone has been fired from their grand company and are now unaffiliated. You must re-enlist at a Grand Company by doing the story quests for it. You can enlist at a different Grand Company if you wish, but you will only get your seals and rank back if you enlist at the same company you were at before.
  • You will still possess a chocobo whistle if you had one before, regardless of Grand Company status. Same applies to Goobbue Horn. These are now inventory items and not key items. Check the salvage NPC if you don't have them due to full inventory.
  • All maps must be re-explored. All Atherytes must be re-attuned before you can teleport to them. Another player can no longer teleport you to an Atheryte you have not attuned to.

List of all servers, from the dev blog:

Remember, the datacenter region is simply where the datacenter is, determining your lag/latency to the server, there is no restriction to which region you play on.

Code:
Server Name     Server Type    Datacenter Region

Adamantoise     NEW            North America/Europe
Aegis           LEGACY         Japan
Atomos          NEW            Japan
Bahamut         NEW            Japan
Balmung         LEGACY         North America/Europe
Behemoth        NEW            North America/Europe
Cactuar         NEW            North America/Europe
Cerberus        NEW            Europe
Chocobo         NEW            Japan
Coeurl          NEW            North America/Europe
Diabolos        NEW            North America/Europe
Durandal        LEGACY         Japan
Excalibur       LEGACY         North America/Europe
Garuda          NEW            Japan
Gilgamesh       NEW            North America/Europe
Goblin          NEW            North America/Europe
Gungnir         LEGACY         Japan
Hyperion        LEGACY         North America/Europe
Ifrit           NEW            Japan
Leviathan       NEW            North America/Europe
Malboro         NEW            North America/Europe
Mandragora      NEW            Japan
Masamune        LEGACY         Japan
Midgardsormr    NEW            North America/Europe
Moogle          NEW            Europe
Odin            NEW            Europe
Ragnarok        LEGACY         Europe
Ramuh           NEW            Japan
Ridill          LEGACY         Japan
Sargatanas      LEGACY         North America/Europe
Shiva           NEW            Europe
Tiamat          NEW            Japan
Titan           NEW            Japan
Tonberry        NEW            Japan
Ultros          NEW            North America/Europe

New characters can be made on NEW worlds or LEGACY worlds. Legacy characters can only move (at first) to LEGACY worlds. That's to stop 1.0 characters from influencing the servers with no economy. People who want to start from scratch can play on a fresh world like the game was brand new again.

People new to the game can make their characters on LEGACY worlds if they wish (to play with existing friends) but are encouraged to play on NEW worlds.

You can always make a second character there. Legacy members can make up to 40 characters (8 per server) at no extra subscription cost.

But I imagine once you've seen the "Welcome to Ifrit" message one time, and then realise you're on a Japanese server with nobody else you know, the novelty will wear off really quick.

Yeah, there's no reason for any of us to do anything. We're all getting automatically transferred to the exact same NA/EU server.

Seems like they actually thought this out pretty well, especially with the legacy and new worlds being split up so it doesn't fuck up the economy.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the items have been converted to NPC sale price gil.

And then 1/10th the price because of the economy redenomination.

Post subject:  Re: Character and World Transfer Information
This is great, that's exactly where we wanted the server located. Hopefully there is enough new people to warrant all those new servers...holy shit that's a lot haha.

I have a couple irl friends who used to play WoW that want to start FFXIV. I'm trying to get them to join our server, but they want to start on a west coast one (like it really matters..)

I picture our LS being huge like it was during the release of 1.0. Hopefully people stick around this time [-X

Post subject:  Re: Character and World Transfer Information
There are only 2 server locations: Japan and Montreal (according to forums. SE confirmed there will only be 2 server locations, and they just opened servers in Montreal, so it's pretty obvious)

I thought there was going to be 3: NA, JP, and EU so I would have bet my money on Cali being the NA server base, but I was wrong in that there are actually only two server locations, in which case east coast makes the most sense shared between NA and EU.

Like Madi said, in a round about way, we've figured out where the new data center is. It is indeed in Montreal, Canada.

Also, SE have clarified what "partially lifted" NDA means, taking effect in Phase 3.

To summarize:

- You can talk about anything you want openly.
- You can take and post screenshots as long as they are taken in Beta 3+
- No posting screenshots taken from Alpha, Beta 1, or Beta 2.
- No posting any audio or video.

Yah, missing Legacy Status really annoys me, too, because it was purely just from a laziness standpoint on my part. I was too lazy to bother reinstalling it and subbing in time to make the deadline.

I never personally see myself using the Goobbue mount, but I just don't like not having access to it. Don't care about the monthly fee at all, but I don't like missing out on in-game stuff.

Ready for phase 3? SE have started slowly posting a change log of things that are fixed in phase 3 , things they intend to fix for phase 4 or release, and some things they've seen people ask for but wont be fixed (working as intended, or don't feel they should change).

It's a pretty massive list, and it's only half done so far:
