What servers should be expected as free transfer?

I am a 3 year almost 4 year player, transfered 4 times since. Only reason im trying to find out is i love leviathan, i promised myself i'd stay but friends are leaning on aether server when they return and start this week. I can't pay to transfer at this time to the server they are choosing due to rl, bills,housing renovation, ect, so i'll bee seeking out a free underpopulated server to at least datacenter pf with! Im sure other people in same situation as well seeking info and ty very much if helpful. I already predicted what i suspect but i may be wrong myself!

if I was to guess, I would say transfers to the new EU servers

Well, I'm from Zalera and I'm sure ours will be a free transfer due to low population. I personally enjoy it here and wouldn't change. Low population is really no longer an issue thanks to the new changes to party finder. Although I never really had trouble here for doing instances anyways. I never really felt it as low as other people make it seem, but then again, I've only been in Zalera and never tried another server.

Mateus would be another contender from the top of my head.

If I were to hazard a guess, the most likely candidates for 'designated' servers on Aether to get bonuses are: Goblin, Mateus, and Zalera. Probably nothing on Primal since it's not as dire. EU/Chaos: The new worlds to be created.

I expect your server, goblin,mateus but rpers are apparently all flocking there, framfrit, brynhildr, marborol, siren, midgardsormr out of na, possible there is more! With datacenter pf i agree thats why im ok with going to a separate server till i can afford to go to the one they choose if they choose a populated server! :) Why we will be moving our group to ffxiv so its kinda why im definitely going to their server.

Definitely but tbh i would say as of last few years midgardsormr should be free because i left it 2 times due to underpopulated and dead before pf changes

might be a good idea to stay away from aether as it will be hit the hardest come stormblood, im tempted to move off aether for a short duration to get my stuff done without aether going down a lot

Midgardsomr's ballpark actives is in the 6k range. 7k is where SE seems to designate as highly congested (Re: EU data center numbers). There isn't a reason to give it an incentive when the other worlds are probably 3-5k away from being highly congested.

Imo thats bs if they do think its that active. Only pops on that server during big content releases and dies fast

I mean this is from the metrics in May 2017 which is pre-expansion lull.

It applies to any transfers to designated worlds. So long as the transfer is to a designated world by SE for the free transfers, it will be free. Doesn't need to be Balmung or Gilgamesh.

Anything not on the list as to what's currently closed off. Odds are they won't just do EU servers because they also want to encourage NA and even JP players to move to another server to help ease the population of those high populated servers.
