Agreed -- that's my intention, certainly, and I don't have any 1.x characters of any value.
People who are scared of a Legacy server should definitely go read the various explanations of why they're not bad and how the fact that people think they're bad will help keep non-RPers off Balmung.
Well I must say that this has me excited to play on Balmung. I would hate to see the RP community split up.
I think a lot of people assume that the Legacy servers will cause a struggle for new players that dont have any gil yet. To have max level characters running around with however much gil they have is frightening. Especially for someone who is going to main DOH/DOL characters or for players starting out.
I guess this is what Freecompanies are for. =D
