Very tempting of you folks, especially being as a lot of you have past experience with FFXI, not that it's a requirement but being around like-minded individuals is nice. This character is already 25 though, I wouldn't really want to re-roll. Not sure how much server transfer costs? I do appreciate it and will definitely consider it, sounds fun.
You don't have to reroll to transfer servers. You get to keep your character, but will have to name-change if it is already taken on the new server. Other than that, you can only carry across a set amount of gil (think its 4 million or something like that, so you may want to buy allagan silver at market price off the auction house to make the transfer if you have more than that (or invest in a commodity, which may trade better when you get over to the new server). I remember buying a ton of chinchilla hide (well maybe 1 or 2 stacks) when they were 100 gil each on Ultros and everyone and their cousin were running treasure maps right when they came out in early 2.X. Undercutters crashed the market, but it was new stuff so I bought it up just to do it. Then I pay money to transfer to Lamia to meet up with Zero and Piuriu (two guys I ran XI with) and we start Swarm. Shortly after, I find out that no one on Lamia runs maps really, but really like chinchilla hide, so I turn around and sell my hides for 40k each and make my first fortune, allowing me to leave my full time job as a zircon ring maker behind forever. We then brought on Catwho soon after and she has since brought a horde of folks from XI.
