From the first question here, I had read that as pertaining to inactive characters during the whole process when I first saw this weeks ago. When I reread it just now, I noticed it just spoke about World transfer applications, not the default world choice.

Sorry to confirm this, but world transfer requests will be sticking to the system explained in the previous topic.
