You recall all those posts where people were screaming for blood because they couldn't join their friends on the same server because it was jam packed full of people? In the weeks/months prior to launch I saw new threads every minute asking "What is the most popular server?" because that is where they wanted to go. So naturally people jammed into servers already near capacity causing serious issues. So basically this is what happens when you allow more people than the server can hold. Instead of a handful of people unable to play you have hundreds of thousands.

They should have just put more servers up and pointed people in that direction. If they do offer some sort of transfer, they should make it so entire groups sign up to move all at once. But no matter what they can't make everyone happy, best they can do is minimize the amount of people who are upset.
