I need server transfer now!

why didnt your friends choose a legacy server?

Before launch, a few new players I know just wanted to be part of a fresh, new start. That seemed very understandable to me.

But now, speaking for the small group I'm in, we have the opposite situation. We have found friends on a legacy world and we've made plans to move our new characters there. The new world players are now into the higher levels so they don't mind the idea of other high-levels. (It's not much different than many new worlds now, and the newness has worn off.) So I'm also moving my characters to that other legacy world, too. Everyone is happy.

The wrinkle is that currently legacy worlds in the NA/EU data center are some of the most congested worlds already. (Most appear at the bottom of the worlds list during both EU and NA prime times.) If people can't move off, and others can freely move on, then the current legacy worlds could see the return of very long queues, new character creation restrictions, even 1017s. I wonder how many people above server maximum SE will allow before they close the world to transfers. Or would SE would consider opening a new legacy world to relieve congestion. If they do it at the last minute, people won't be able to plan and move for free.
