what do u mean by well established server? I thought everyone starts at the same time? at launch right?

i'm new to FF franchise, so I should start at Tonberry? Is that what you mean? confused a bit lol

Read 1st page , we gave out some info you needed there

1st post..

oh well that was helpful

Final Fantasy XIV was release on September 2010, but the game was purely unfinish and was hit with bad review, so Square Enix replace the Director & Producer with Naoki Yoshida or YoshiP. He update the game and tell us that the game will be rebuild from ground up. Then November 2012 version 1.0 shut down with epic End of Era Trailer and they begun the next game Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn.

Also during the 1.0 era, we old users are still there playing we were given free to play for a whole year, before they start charging us around January 2012. So all our hardwork that time will be brought over to ARR. Thus you see Legacy servers as well.

I'm pretty sure sooner or later, world transfer will allow legacy players to move to new server or the opposite.
It's just for now, they wanted the new server to be untouch and new players to have a new experience and not interfere by legacy players.

Old server aka legacy server issue.

It's bound to happen in legacy server, those with a max level would run around aoeing some low level mob to accomplish their quest or farm mats. Or it'll take a hit or 2 to fully wipe out low lv mob.

Legacy players who now had max their combat jobs will concentrate on farming mats to skills up their tradecraft.*For those who had always combat first without skilling their craft*

Those who have max their craft and combat job will be controlling the market. They could farm mats as easily as they want. They no longer need to skills up on their craft anymore. They'll probably run around digging for mats and then put it up for sale. Since there's new players flocking in, they could fetch a hefty price sum for those heavy sorted mats needed for skilling up crafts.

RMT rodents will continue to exist with their past account and manipulate the economy.

New server issue.

Players will all be skilling up from ground level. Whatever you try to farm or level upon on the field is bound to be shared by various players.

Mats wont be freely available for the moment if you are a heavy craftsman. The price will be expensive.

Though new server, players who have been playing since 1.0 will join the server. Their character wouldn't be able to do so. But they already know the direction and where to start. It's just a matter of time, They have whatever they want in a short time frame.

RMT will join this new server as new player. Players could spot them easily by their weird action,gibberish name and gibberish engrish.
Yes, they'll be moving in large scales across various places.

Dude , I said 1st page not 1st post.

My 2 cts when choosing a server:

Legacy Pros:
1.0 Character data (if applicable)
Established economy
Mixed level of characters, population distribution
Large amounts of dedicated players

Legacy Cons:
Possibility of monopoly for economy
Feeling of being behind
If you want to roll Arcanist, there will be a LOT more who already have every other class capped rolling it as well

New Pros:
Everyone is on the same playing field
New community full of old and new players
Chance to get ahead in crafting and make lots-o-gil.

New Cons:
Possibility of mass exodus 2-4 months in as people get bored (not as likely in legacy servers since they have had populations since 1.0)
Everyone will be choked up in the same few zones for awhile
No economy
No high level crafters that can fill the market

Thats why me & my friends opt for legacy server

I got a friend I met during the CBT who,had max everything of her character in 1.0 including crafting and class.. Literally everything in her character is lvl50 (obviously except,the new class).. I think she might be able to,help craft some stuff for free.. (hopefully haha..)
