Which is exactly WHY they'll probably never be unlocked. Unless some people decide to bite the bullet and give up their connections and friends or convince those friends to go with them, the servers will never de-populate. Square should probably keep the locks up for a fair bit after Server populations stabilize so that people become invested in their new server, otherwise everyone that left can/will just transfer back in. This rendering this lockdown an exercise in futility. Yes it does suck. But it also completely necessary for he health and survival of the servers and ultimately this game.
