The Omega Server Free Company

As some may have already seen, our Free Company "Concordia" on the NA server Gilgamesh is moving over to a new EU server that was opened today, Omega.

Before reading further, I suggest everyone takes a look at this Lodestone post regarding bonuses for newly created characters on New Worlds and Server Transfer bonuses to New Worlds: http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/54b16fc0f43a225bb4d72b9e28f136e7c4fe2596



There are several perks to this server move:
1. It's free to transfer to Omega as long as it doesn't become overpopulated, which I don't expect will happend within just a few days.
2. Since 95% of our members are based in Europe, we'll get drastically better latency, which will make things like boss fights a bit easier to deal with.
3. Due to Gilgamesh being completely locked with no ability to make new characters or transfer into it, it's not possible for people to invite their friends or make alt characters. By moving to Omega, we open up the doors to our FC for newcomers once more, so if you got friends or family that wish to play the game with us, invite them in to Omega.

Additionally, regarding new characters created on Omega.
If a new character there levels up to Lv30, the account holder will earn 1mil gil on the character, and +15 days Subscribtion time on their account.
This bonus can only be gotten once, but I highly recommend taking advantage of it.

Several people on other servers have expressed interest in this bonus playtime, and I've invited them to join our Free Company on Omega during their short visit, under the rank of "Sub Stormers". Who knows, maybe they'll stick around even longer and become a fulltime member?
If you got friends on Gilgamesh or elsewhere, invite them to join us on their new characters to farm playtime, or even move their main characters over to be a part of our group.

IMPORTANT: Risks involved with the transfer.
Since SquareEnix decided to wait until the 20th to reveal the details on how Free Company server transfers will work, we can't actually move the FC Concordia over to Omega until the 20th.

To make the transfer as smooth as possible for everybody, I want everyone to prepare with the following steps:
1. If you are an owner of a Private Chamber within the FC house, please pick up all of your furniture and store it on your retainers. If you're on Gilgamesh and have run out of space on Retainers to store furniture, contact Sierra_Angel (Steam)/Killercat Shiro (ingame), she'll be able to help you store excess furniture on her many retainers and alts/mules.
2. Stop selling everything that's currently up for sale through your retainers and place the items back in inventory.
3. Check in with me as soon as you've packed up furniture and retainer stock. I'll help guide through the transfer process, which is done via the Mogstation.

The reason I want everyone to transfer to Omega ASAP even before the 20th, is that there's a small chance that the brand new server will have such a big increase in players, that it will be branded a Congested World. This will cut off the bonuses of transfers to new worlds, which are listed on the page linked earlier, which includes "Free Transfer". I don't wish for people to have to pay extra money just to enjoy our company further.

Regarding my own character Korake Gorgon, she's the current leader of the FC on Gilgamesh. I will attempt to find a way to transfer over leadership to my mule Katja Gorgon, so that Korake Gorgon can do the transfer to Omega before the 20th as well.

Due to the risk of Omega being Congested, and the FC transfer being blocked from Omega, we're going to make a temporary Free Company on Omega as soon as we can. That way, we're well on our way to reaching Rank 8 as the 20th June comes around, and incase we can't transfer Concordia from Gilgamesh to Omega, this temporary FC will be our new main one.

Leave a comment below or talk to me on Steam if you have any questions or suggestions about the transfer. I'll see you all in 4.0 Stormblood.
