Personally would accepted the offer to transfer, even if I lose my FC. (which is the 2nd biggest reason I dont want to trasfer.)
But when my friends tried to transfer, they found out there is a 3 day wait period between each alt being transferred, and i dont want to take the chance of some/one of them not getting onto the server, due to a large number of people switching making it no longer the free server. (they are filling up fast compared to their numbers prior)
