There is a transfer service available if someone really wanna join his friends on another server.
There is a new cross-server Party Finder functionality (with optional private password) coming in the next patch, which will allow friends or pugs from different server to group together for a Duty.
Inventory size is announced to be increased not long after Stormblood is released.
