How to apply for World emigration:

When the application period begins, an NPC called the World Shifter will appear in each of the following areas. By talking to this NPC, you can apply for or cancel World emigration, and confirm your character's emigration status. Please read the World Shifter's responses carefully before submitting an application.

Ru'Lude Gardens (I-10)
Port San d'Oria (I-8)
Port Bastok (L-8)
Windurst Walls (G-6)

*Note: After the application deadline, you will be unable to make any further requests for World emigration.

How to confirm your World emigration status:

During the application period, a login message will appear indicating your World emigration status. If you are already logged in, you can view this message by entering "/smes". Please be sure to confirm your status before the end of the application period.

*Message displayed when applying for World emigration:
"You have submitted an application for World emigration."

*Message displayed when not applying for World emigration:
"You have not submitted an application for World emigration."

CAUTION:

If you are considering applying for World emigration, please read the following points to ensure a smooth transition.

When emigrating:
Emigration of characters is done one at a time. If you request emigration for any of your other characters, please conduct all applications separately.


Character name:
If your character happens to have the same name as another player in the World to which you emigrate, you will have to change your name before entering that World. If you need to change your name, your name will be shown in yellow, and you must follow the on-screen instructions. This name change will not affect your Friend List.

Delivery Box/Auction items:
All items up for auction and in your Delivery Box will be lost when you emigrate. Please collect these items before moving. Any items in your Mog Safe will be transported with you to the new world.

Regarding used linkshells:
Following a World shift, your linkshells will be automatically exchanged with new, unopened linkshells. If you have an unused linkshell, you may bring it to the new World. If a linkshell owner emigrates, the player's old linkshell will be deactivated and a new unopened linkshell will be automatically provided.

You may just find that some of the same people who control your server's present economy make the switch, too, and wind up doing the same thing there. Conversely, if noones as such makes the switch, you will be trying to sell to a bunch of newbies with no money.

As well, there may be very few people who switch to your new server that are in your level range, making it a very long wait for you before you can PT again with your favorite job.

I know these are all fairly extreme scenarios, however I believe so is thinking that having an empty AH to mold will ultimately be a good thing. Try and consider all of the possible outcomes before rushing into this decision.

Now, if you get your entire linkshell to switch with you, that'd be annother story. Starting with a crew you already know would be prety cool.

Actually high lvl jp crafters have worldshifted to midgard..which is the cause of a high priced economy, but its slowly settling down with more other high lvl crafters both jp and eng that is competing with them.
