Thanks SE for the update and the free 5 days!

SE should expect some heavy transfer "congestion" in the 5 free days, so hopefully the free pass will be to anyone who applies during the 5 days, not if you're actually moved. I'm fine with characters being moved after the 5th day due to being "later in line" as long as it's still free if the application was done in time.

Also, I wonder how they'll deal with legacy characters and their friends. They've stated before that a world may not be open for transfers if it's too full. If legacy characters can only move between legacy servers and there's a bunch that brings in some friends from the new servers, the legacy servers may be too full and as a group we can't look at new servers to move to. Maybe take one of the new servers and make it a legacy one...?
