When you server transfer, you get the option to transfer multiple characters at once to any different worlds. The main idea is to:
1) Have character Y with gil on original server.
2) Make character X on server with HQ.
3) Make an agreement with the person you're buying from (more on this later) - more for their safety than yours (they can GM you if you don't come through).
4) Have crafter trade character X whatever you're buying.
5) Log off and perform server transfers. Again, you can transfer multiple characters at once. Transfer character Y to to crafter's server with the gil to pay, and transfer character x back to your original server.

If all goes through well, both characters will transfer at once and you'll end up with your hq piece back on your own server and the character with gil on the crafters server. However, this means that someone (who you probably don't know) has to trade you a really expensive piece of gear w/o any gil first, and needs to take your word that you're going to complete the server xfer and pay. Again, if there's an agreement in game and you don't follow through, you can be GM'd. It's a bit of an uncomfortable situation for some people to be in, so either sticking it out 90 days or using 2 accounts might have to be the way to go.

(Hope I explained that so it makes sense!)

Thank you!

I was under the impression that newly created characters had to wait 3 months to transfer, but this is good news for me :)

The content ID has to have been active for 90 days I think (well, not active... but existed). The character can be new, though.

The World Transfer service can be used any number of times and, while there are no restrictions regarding the number of times each character can be transferred, you may not use this service under the following conditions:
- 90 days have not passed since the date of the previous World Transfer.
- 90 days have not passed since the first acquisition of a FINAL FANTASY XI Content ID.

Why does my character lock/freeze when I pull to cleave? :( It's really annoying and a lot of the time I'm completely stuck for minutes at at time or until I diaga with my mule or something. Is there anything I can do to stop that?

(As in, I'll pull them all, engage, and my character will just completely freeze and I can't move or do anything)

Could try to figure out what dats the zone are, and have someone resend them to you. (Or just have someone send you all the dats period if it's not too much work). At one point switching some gear/face dats, I replaced something wrong along the way, and Kazham was totally broken. Every time I tried zoning into it, I'd crash. File check didn't work. I couldn't figure out wth I did so I ended up just replacing all my dats.

I had a friend change avatar dats for me (I fail at that) but that was almost a year ago but are just now causing issues and the only thing I have changed at all. They could have broken something in the zone?

Wouldn't file check have overwritten those dat swaps anyway?

Ok so my East Saruta is STILL *** up. I got to log back on after the first crash and zone out myself today, but the last time it happened, I had to have a friend log me on and move me out of the zone because I'd crash again before my char even loaded.

I've done file checks 5 or 6 times since this started happening. The first time was the only time that had any bad files. I repaired them and had no issues for a week but now it happens every time I go to the zone again.

Do I need to reinstall? What's going on and what did I break ; ;
