But there are way to few servers anyway. In Europe from currently 36 server only 4 are accessable at any given time. I check the serverstatus many times a day and never you are allowed to use 32 out of 36 servers. This system is simply pissing off new players. I am checking this often to get parts of my family to my server, which currently is not possible. If we could move a whole guild with all alts to a less populated server for free, well... but we can't. Currently congested worlds stops friends/families from long term fun. Always jumping worlds is not fun. I even told a friend not to start FFXIV, because of this. We talked about it, he plays something else now.

"Hey, wanna play FFXIV with me?"
"Cool, what server are you on?"
"[name any, it does not matter currently], which you can't join. But you can join me there with world jumps. Play on any free one"
"hm... can I join your guild there?"
"No"
"Well... perhaps another day then"
If you want to be an adult, you have to learn to accept when something is impossible. There are limits to how much a server can do, and storage space is not endless.
