Frankly I don't know whether to place this here or in the Technical Support section, but I figured it would attract more attention here.

Due to all the problems with server congestion, a lot of servers are currently closed off for new characters. My friend is currently trying to get into FFXIV, but I play on Odin, one of the servers which is currently closed off for that reason. And I can tell that it's pretty much permanently closed off, as I have been unable to create an alt character for a while now regardless of peak time.

As a result, my friend had no choice but to roll on Omega, which means we will not be able to play together. But I can't just leave Odin either, because my entire guild is playing there. Thus I propose that when the server congestion issues are finally solved, Square Enix should temporarily offer free character transfers to everybody, from and to anywhere.

What are your thoughts?
