The server being locked is not the issue, it is done for very good reasons. The issue is people trying to bypass that lock and squeeze more in to the server whenever there is a crack in the wall found aka specific time gap. I think that server needs to be locked at this point and only unlocked when population significantly drops. The players are causing the issue, not SE.

It may not be the perfect solution for the players trying to get on it but there is a vast amount of other servers which need population increased which could benefit from it. They should also add the occasional free transfer weekends so FC's and groups of friends can move to other servers but make the free transfer weekend rare like maybe once every few months. The biggest excuse I see given most often is "my friends or FC is on the server and they do not want to pay to move", free weekends help with that issue.
