What it takes to get players to transfer from congested servers

[Gravton]

3 & 4. Not going to happen. Researching a server before transfering is not hard, every server has its own forum post questions and get information. If you can make an alt on the server you wish to transfer too and try it out. If you transfer into a high pop that is your choice; never transfer to a high pop server unelss you are willing to deal with the circumstances of that choice.

Except that if you look at forum posts from 9 months ago on the subject of "dead servers" the community told people to quit complaining and just transfer to high pop servers. I also think it's funny that you think it's the players fault that s/e didn't properly manage their servers.
