As you said, it takes a lot of work and time putting all the valuable furnishings into retainers, tossing out items and so on. The reason this takes soo much time is because for whatever reason, development wants to make lots of different items for this game, with nowhere to put them. Now lets say if they gave something like 30-50 Mil, as you said large house figures for simply transferring. What would happen is an extreme housing shortage because now even if they just own a small before, will be going after all the large and meds on the proposed new wards/ servers.

The housing system SE made just does not work. They where told this countless times, upgrade your servers, make instanced houses, something, but they continue want to cheap out this game to maximize profits, and keep running into problems like this because of it.
Pretty much. I started on Balmung due to my ex boyfriend at the launch of ARR having his legacy character there, I moved later to Coeurl to be with my friends from another game who wanted to raid and remembered I was an excellent healer in that game. It took me 2 months to prepare for that server move, and that was with only one character and no house at the time because I was using my private FC chest as a 3rd and 4th retainer, so I had to downsize and my friend helped me spend money on items I could get payout for on Coeurl with the move. I cannot imagine the scale needed for this. x.x It's overwhelming and a nightmare for me.

Money just doesn't cut it. More wards + new servers, locked for transferring only people might help, as would some FC locked ones, for all the FCs transferring, but there's no getting back those submarines and air ships and the time it takes to make and unlock things with them.

The only other solution is to do Cross Data Center Party Finder.
