in quote "For a period of approximately two weeks following the implementation of each new Data Center, all characters on affected Data Centers will be able to transfer Worlds at no cost."
meaning only the servers being removed from primal and aether and since excal is not being moved you cannot transfer for free.
Wrong.
If you read the article you linked to, it says:

▼NA Availability

Dates: Tuesday, April 23 to Monday, May 6, 2019
Eligible: All characters on NA Data Centers
So all characters on all the NA servers will be able to transfer for free during the indicated period. They can transfer to any other server in any datacenter - except for Congested servers.
