http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/...e7c4fe2596 - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISIONS. 

The beginning of Early Access marks the opening of Omega, the new World on the Chaos data center (EUDC).

In addition to this new world and the preemptive measures mentioned in Preventing Congestion on High Population Worlds, we have also begun a number of bonus incentives to coincide with Early Access. These measures and bonuses have been implemented to encourage an even distribution of active players across all Worlds, and ensure an enjoyable player experience.
  • Bonuses for New Worlds
    • Character Creation Bonuses on New Worlds
    • World Transfer Bonuses
  • Bonuses for Existing Worlds
    • Character Creation Bonuses on Designated Worlds
    • Bonuses for Transferring from High Population to Designated Worlds
Current Status of High Population/Designated Worlds
* World population status will be announced following the commencement of maintenance for the release of 4.0.

Character Creation Bonuses on New Worlds
Creating a new character on a newly established World will earn you the bonuses outlined below.

These incentives will remain in place until the active player population of a new World has shown sufficient growth. Please note that once a World has been removed from the "New World" category, the EXP bonus will no longer be applied.
Bonuses awarded at character creation
  • Double EXP bonus (until level 60 is reached)


  • Gift of 10 silver chocobo feathers, exchangeable for low-mid level gear to improve the leveling experience

Bonuses for characters created during bonus period that attain level 30 in any class
  • Gift of 1,000,000 gil(*1)
  • Gift of 15 days of free play time(*2)

    *1 Limited to once per data center on a single service account.
    *2 Limited to once per service account when creating a new character on either a new or designated World.
Characters created on newly established Worlds during the bonus period will be restricted from using the World transfer service for 90 days.

Players with pre-existing characters on new Worlds are still eligible to receive these bonuses for new characters created after the bonus period has begun. All new characters beyond the first created will also receive any bonuses not specifically restricted as one-time only incentives-


Bonuses for Transferring to New Worlds
Transferring to a new World will earn you the bonuses outlined below.

These bonuses will remain in effect until the population of active players in the World in question has grown to a specified number.
World transfer bonuses
  • Transfer is free of charge
  • Maximum amount of gil that can be transferred increased to 999,999,999
  • Gift of 10 gold chocobo feathers, exchangeable for special rewards such as rare mounts
Bonuses for owners of personal housing/apartments
  • Personal housing
    Reimbursement for the full price of the estate, plus compensation of 3,000,000 gil for non-recoverable furnishings

    Please apply for a World transfer after removing your estate hall and furnishings, but DO NOT relinquish the land. If you have relinquished the deed to your plot, you will not be eligible to receive the bonuses outlined above.
  • Apartments
    Reimbursement of the 500,000 gil price, and compensation of 500,000 gil for non-recoverable furnishings

    Please apply for a World transfer after removing your furnishings, but DO NOT vacate the apartment. If you have relinquished the rights to your property, you will not be eligible to receive the bonuses outlined above.
* Any gil above the maximum of 999,999,999 will be lost.

Characters that have transferred to a new World during the bonus period will be restricted from using the World transfer service for 90 days.

Character Creation Bonuses on Designated Worlds
Creating a new character on a designated World will earn you the bonuses outlined below.

These bonuses will remain in effect until the active player population of congested and designated Worlds has stabilized. Please note, however, that the population status of a World is subject to change, and that if a World is removed from the "Designated" category, the EXP bonus will no longer be applied.
Bonuses awarded at character creation
  • Double EXP bonus (until level 60 is reached)
  • Gift of 10 silver chocobo feathers, exchangeable for low-mid level gear to improve the leveling experience
Bonus for characters created during bonus period that attain level 30 in any class

This is some great news. The transfer incentives and removing gil caps are what we were expecting but still welcome news.

Those new character bonuses. Man, it might be faster to level a fresh character with the amount of XP bonuses being thrown around. The new earrings gives 100% bonus up to 50 and then the server perk of another 100% up to 60. Going to make leveling through HW a breeze.

Honestly, with all the incentives, I think it may be worthwhile to just create a new character, level it with PotD and then buy a jump potion. I'd be better off then I am now, believe it or not.

I might transfer a character just to get those gold feathers so I can get a rare mount.

How do you get the earrings? That would certainly be a nice extra boost.

I think this is great incentive to make alts over on Mateus, where we might not previously had been interested in doing so.

Will Mateus even be a designated server?

That's the hope. It was one of the smaller servers before the sudden influx of RPers with the Balmung lockdown. Just have to see if it's still considered small enough on numbers to stay on the list. Considering the wide spread of numbers, though, I think it should be on there.

I think it was mentioned as one of the smallest population servers along with Zalera. Something like that.

I don't think SE creating a server designation for RP is going to happen, but it would be nice it would could come together to select a smaller server.  The only thing keeping me on Balmung is the RP community, if I felt I could transfer to a server where most people signed up knowing it was an unnofficial RP server I would probably take it.  Those incentives are nice and are really making me think I want to leave Balmung...

Mateus officially is listed as a "preferred" world, thus will gain all listed benefits in the OP. Other preferred worlds are: 

 ○ Coeurl
 ○ Goblin
 ○ Zalera
