So every once in a while in PF, I see a recruit msg for static, also requesting whatever class the group wants to server transfer as a mandatory prerequisite.

Now I get that you can always get a feel for the group by partying with them and doing the raid they want first but I'd also like know what other factors would push you to server transfer?

Its a notion that's eerie to me but I'm actually looking forward to sate my curiosity with your thoughts on this.
