World Pass..game ticket thingy..

i read on the square-enix website about the 'worldpass' system and i get the concept but i dont understand it fully, do you have to get the pass from an NPC in game...and once u have the pass does your friend have to already have 1 char created?...is it possible to move a current char  to the new 'worldpass' server that u have the code for?...or do u have to make a new char and pay an extra buck just to hang witcha friends?...... . . .. . .........(still cant belive its $12.75 such an unlucky number)

    How is 12.75 unlucky? Anyway, you buy world passes from NPCs and you have to create a new character and impute the code you get when you create the character. You can't move an existing character to another server unless you get a world shifter. World shifters are only available when the server gets too crowded, so they move you to a less crowded server.

    ok...so like this might get confusing..

    heres me <M>server=X and thats my one char...no alts

    heres my friend <F>server=Y and thats his/her one char...no alts

    so does <F>server=Y have to make a new char...

    and if yes can he/she delete <F>server=y and just use the new world-passed char? and do World Passes cost gil?

    I just answered that, but I will again. You have a character on one server. Your friend has a character on another. If your friend gets you a world pass for his server then you must create a new character. You cannot use the character you had. They cost gil.

    ok, for somereason my mind is making this over complex...lemme see here

    ok so we both allready have one char made...to use the WP thing and get together the person who is moving has to receive the WP code?(how does that work) then type it in when making a >new< char and then that char will be created on the server that the world pass is for...now if you make the >new< char to do this can you delete your original char, and incurr no extra costs? i.e. char 1 go bye bye char 2 becomes char 1 will it still be an extra buck?

    They aren't that expensive, and you can only get it from certain towns. Jeuno, I think. Also, world passes aren't made for moving characters. You can't move an existing character to a different server. If I'm on Ragnorok but my friend is on Cactuar and I wanna go to Cactuar well, too bad. I can't. I have to create a new character and start all over to do that. The only way you can change servers is with a world shifter, and that's only avaliable when the server gets too crowded.

    Retarded, so what is stopping you from just creating this character on the other server to start with ?? Or is this in place because you are only allowed 1 character no matter which server??

    Everyone is getting really confused about this, and its because your leaving out some assumed information that WE DONT KNOW LOL!!!

    The only ways this would make sense would be if you can only create 1 character no matter which server your on unless you have a WP...  Or else nothing would stop people but saying screw the gil and just starting a character on the other server!

    I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU KNOW THAT SERVER PLACEMENT IS RANDOM!!! And if everybody includes just you and Patriarch then I guess that's true.

    OK, im going to repeat what i Understand so far, and i hope i got most of it correct.

    Your character is randomly put on a chosen server, I do not know how many different servers their are. 

    It is possible that your "Freind" would have bought and signed up for FFXI and gets placed on the same server becuase the servers are random.

    If my Freind didnt get randomly chosen on the same server as I am on, then we cannot play together.  However if i Aquire a worldpass, i can get my freind to move to my server, but he has to Start a completly new character on the server im on.

     

    The Parts i dont understand are, if i join my freind on his server from a Worldpass, do i have to pay $1.00 a month for the extra character?

    Are all the characters i create on the same server?, so when i use a world pass, my old character is deleted, and any new character i create is $1.00 but will only stay on this server?

    Also, How many people are aloud on a server? 

    Also, i wanted to say this, The Only Reason you would need to use a Worldpass, is mainly if you had plans to play with freinds you know on the Internet from chats, IMs, boards, or guilds...ect.    It would be easier to plan a FFXI guild if all its members could play on the same server.

     

    HOWEVER, if to many people move to the same server and it becomes to crowded, the Square Game masters, will do a "World Shifter" in which event they move your previous character to a different server with less people.  They do not push you to a new server and make you start all over, right?

    I wouldn't think so. I was wondering the same about you. Everybody knows the server placement is random.

    Wow...I'll make it simple as I know how.

    You and your friend both make a charcter. He goes to server A, while you go to server B. You happen to buy a WP. You give your friend the code. He has to create a new character using the code that you gave him. If he doesn't want to pay the $1, then he has to delete his other character first.

    Easy?

    so we can't choose the server we be on? And why the extra $1? :( I think they're just trying to rip us off. They KNOW we want to be with our friends... I'm beginning to hate FFXI now. :(

    It costs about $500,000 to maintain one server.
