I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get alts onto both servers before and after maintenance with no luck, and until I succeed or physically witness some other person succeed. I will be incline to believe that this statement is false.
I've actually done this on both Balmung and Gilgamesh, but in the 2.0 days.

It doesn't surprise me at all that it's almost impossible now as the servers have done nothing but grow. And, as mentioned, bots flood it to get in without paying for a transfer.
