To be honest, I am all for promotions to bring in new blood. Gold Saucer or no... But if the servers are starting to suffer from it, then I would suggest SE use some of their resources and invest in more servers. Obviously if this is a major milestone and a sign of things to come, new servers and a free transfer would only improve the congestion and help ease character creation if we could move some folks off the already crowded servers such as Balmung.

I really am all for Free Log In Weekends, so long as it doesn't compromise the well being of current paying customers. After all, we're the ones who have have been supplying the funds to do these promotions.
