posting for a friend:
Hello, I'm from NA server, but was on EU FC.
When Omega was first announced, the FC decided to move to it once it will be up. Now because SE didn't mention any end day for transferring, I went on vacation without worries thinking I can just join when I'm back... And as you could guess, when I got back I was faced with a transfer block which effectively separated me from my FC and pretty much all the friends I play with. To top it off, character creations are still being possible, while SE blocking transfers.
That means that while peoples' alts are being created for the sole purpose of leveling up to 30, for the free days reward, on their main (And quit that alt afterwards); us, long-term players, can't join with their old friends and FC (without any prior notice of transfers being disabled).

If and end date for the transfers would have been mentioned, I'd plan my vacation differently and/or would make sure to have access to a PC by that date.

Now I'm stuck without friends and without an FC.
Please SE, you let people create new characters already, so why not reverse the situation- disable creations but allow transfers? That makes much more sense to me, unless I'm missing something.

Thank you for reading and sorry for my English (not native English).
I hope it won't fall on deaf ears.
