Not allowing us to move around at launch likely has little to nothing to do with how much money we have or affecting economies of those worlds. Likely everything to do with a stable launch and allowing new players a chance to actually pick a server they want. Everyone moving their characters around while adding thousands of new characters puts a lot of strain on the servers, not to mention the fact that they likely want to maintain a stable launch environment.

Solution: Chill out and wait for the transfer. It's not going to kill you to stay on a server that may or may not be in your region for a little bit. Also this changes doesn't just affect us, the JP players that get stuck on a server that doesn't have a JP data center are in the same boat.
