Incentive to transfer must be increased

[Colt47]

Why would they do that when you can transfer your main for free and play it right now? Also, if the account is dormant, its not affecting your queues lol. its the 18000 other people who want to log in to the server at the same time.

Mostly because if someone xfers off balmung they are never getting back on that doom train. I highly doubt the server will ever be opened up for transfers again unless a miracle happens and the post expansion dip somehow puts the active populace just under the acceptable threshold.
