I don't understand why this is nonsense. Seems reasonable to me. SE is asking us, politely mind you, to consider making characters on less populated servers. I don't see what's so wrong with that. They're not forcibly transferring anyone, they're not mandating it, they're simply asking us to consider it. You can argue that the shut down of character creation is a way to forcing us, but even so, I don't understand how you were led to believe this is nonsense. Unless, of course, you don't believe they are having server problems or believe there's an ulterior motive at play here.

Personally, I think they made some miscalculation on the volume of players in the US and EU...compounded with early access being on a weekend...I can completely understand, and even predicted that they would have launch issues. I just wish they would re-implement the queue. I hate having to keep double-clicking my character until I finally am able to logon.
