The information is not only readily available, it all but beats you over the head anywhere you look, if you take the time to look. I'm sorry that they'll get stuck on a new server 'cuz that sucks for them, but at the same time.... why should someone else have to fix these mistakes when they're not only ---not responsible--- for the mistakes, but they provided tons and tons of info to prevent the mistake from ever occuring?
Normally, I would agree with you. But in this particular case, the OP states they clicked on their default server, which said it was full, and then rather than leaving the player where they were, it is now sending the OP to another server entirely which was never picked at all. If this is true, it shouldn't have happened this way. The character never left the pool from the original server so that is exactly where they should have ended up. Not another server that was never selected in the first place.

Should people have known they didn't have to do anything? Yeah, it was explicitly stated. But to pick your own server, be told it is full while you are still on it, and then be defaulted to a completely different server all together is poor planning on SE's part. They should have anticipated people were going to click on their own server while it was full, even if told they don't have to, and made sure the character stays put if a transfer doesn't go through successfully.

If what happened to the OP is true, this is going to be very bad because I am certain that OP was not the only person who clicked on their own server during the merge period thinking they had to do that to stay on the same server. In about 10 days time, these boards are going to explode. In addition, that kind of negative word of mouth is the last thing this game needs while trying to relaunch.

If OP actually picked Ragnorok, hoping to jump to another server when a spot opened then that's on them and I've no sympathy for their problem. But if what happened is what they said happened then yeah, it should be righted, even if technically OP is at fault for applying for transfer when they really wanted to stay where they were.
