This was the reason I was hoping that with a RAF code they'd allow a one time free transfer to your friend's server. My friend is also likely bringing with him a small group he plays with on GW2 who are bored of that game, but they'll run into the same issue he's having. I'd transfer off instead, but Ive been on this server for years, and I'm already established with housing and such, so moving isn't really an option for me.
