Current restrictions on preferred worlds and the upcoming free transfer weeks

[nawawaa]

Was there any reason at all to think the 90 day restriction would not apply? Other than mere wishful thinking, that is.

I think it's understandable, though I would have hoped that they would have lessened it for this rare server re-distribution. I created this thread just to see what other peoples' thoughts are since it basically meant you were screwed over if you're new or creating an alt (because different DC) to play with friends who happened to be on a server that's been chosen as preferred. You would have been forced to play on a different world for a couple months. Which may not seem like a big deal, but you wouldn't be able to do certain stuff like maps, join the same FC, linkshell (if they already have a CWL), etc for a while. The worst part is that you would be on a different DC, and thus unable to play with friends who may have wanted to stay on a certain DC (unless you pay for the transfer after the restriction wears off).
