How long until transfers to the big servers return?

SE needs to tell everyone on BAL and GIL that the servers are going to be deleted in X (30? 60? 90?) days.

yeah, that shit storm would reach historic levels. "Now that we have let you all pay to transfer to these servers, we are going to forcibly move you off them because we let you all pay to transfer to these servers" Good luck with that

With the introduction of the World Transfer Service, there may be cases where players are requested to transfer to other Worlds due to fluctuations in population. We may also consider the splitting or merger of Worlds. Because of this, there may be instances where players who have used the World Transfer Service are requested to move to a different World. Please note that in such cases, applications for World transfers cannot be canceled or refunded.

Not saying people wouldn't be upset, but they were warned.

The inevitable shitstorm just... wouldn't be worth it financially. They risk losing a substantial amount of customers considering they're pissing off the two largest servers in the entire game. Furthermore, it wouldn't accomplish anything. Those who did stay, would just congregate on a new server. Sargatanas has a fairly decent following and all the RPers will move whatever new server is designated the RP server, and bam, you have two new mega servers again.

While I agree Balmung and Gilgamesh needed to be locked. Their timing is horrendous. Why wait to implement all these incentives? No one is going to leave when they're still charging $18 and you'll lose your house should you have one. Had this been done months ago, with all the perks implemented immediately, a sizable portion may have left before Stormblood.
