Yeah, I realize exactly why it's like this (and launch was quite smooth so it was obviously worth it) but it's still frustrating. I hope things start to even out eventually, so I can hype up the game to family and friends without having to explain why they wouldn't be able to play with me on my main if they picked it up.

Unfortunately, most people by this point have formed solid communities in FCs with time invested into them, so they're unlikely to move. But there may be a gradual trickle off the congested servers if the incentives are enticing enough.
