Preliminary World Transfer Service Measures (10/10/2013)
Due to login and character creation restrictions set in place after the start of official service, many players were unable to create characters on their desired Worlds. In order to address this issue, players will be allowed to use the World Transfer Service free of charge from Tuesday, October 15, 2013, to Tuesday, October 22, 2013, 01:00 a.m. After reading the guidelines below, please proceed to the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station (http://sqex.to/Msp) to use the World Transfer Service during the aforementioned time period.
What is the World Transfer Service?
Using the World Transfer Service, players can move characters on their service accounts to be from one World to another.
Although multiple characters can be transferred from one World to another with a single use of this service, multiple characters from different Worlds cannot be transferred to the same World, nor can multiple characters from a single World be transferred to separate Worlds.
