Character Transfer Issues

Hi im having a hard time just trying to transfer my character to a different data server where my friends are, which is on the North America server Malboro and im on the Japanese server Masamune, been trying since yesterday with no luck.

Thought itd be simple but its not, the server status shows you can create characters on diffrent servers but I cant transfer?? says on Mog Station "Your destination World may currently be full. Please select a different World, or try again at a later time when space for character creation is available."

Hell thought id try making a new character but i cant do that! comes up with "The lobby server connection has encountered an error." with the numbers 2002 on bottom right.

Want to understand why this is happening also if its happening to other people as well.
