Non-optional, returning players, this is your new server.

Want to fix the congestion?

Everyone who reactivated in the last month, get's moved to a new server.

Those of us who have been consistently been active, paying customers, get to stay where we are, and complete content.

You created the mess by allowing too many players on certain worlds, but the only way to fix it is to distribute those players elsewhere... and the only fair thing to do is make it so if your sub lapses for more then 30 days, you are no longer guaranteed to be on the same server when you come back.

This wouldn't fix the issue, as instance servers are data center wide. Even the smallest servers, like Mateus and Zalera, are having difficulties with the MSQ bottleneck.

Then they need to reactivate the old data centers and move the returning players there.

Then they need to reactivate the old data centers and move the returning players there.

The old data centers don't exist any more. They can't just "reactivate" them. Creating new datacenters (at the old location or elsewhere) would take some weeks as an absolute minimum - and by that time the problem will have solved itself since by then not everyone will be trying to play all at once.

Dear Yoshida.

Please if you have to remove my inventory space and the doubled housing furniture to restore stability so I can at least level to 70 and enter an instance, please do it. :P

This is a terrible idea.
People would lose their Free Companies.
People would lose their friends.
Names would potentially be duplicated.
People who paid to have their character transferred to that server would not be happy.

The only solution is to implement temporary restrictions, wait it out, or invest in server upgrades (Which they did recently).
