Feedback on Server Quality

That's because they were designed so that your character can travel between worlds. FF was never designed to do that. Transferring characters between servers for SE right now is pretty complicated since your character data stay with the server you're assigned.

No, because they said they were providing the service of server transfers after release, so that isn't exactly right.

It's a load balancing issue and I don't think their servers are scalable. I think they're putting in some hard figures that they obtained from Alpha, P1 thru P3, and then made some adjustments from P4 (but looks like it isn't working) Infrastructure needs to scale accordingly with the amount of congestion, but this isn't what SE has done. They're providing minimal framework and trying to cut cost to recoup investment from development of ARR. Oddly enough, this goes against their whole philosophy prior to P4, where they said they'd throw everything in, including the kitchen sink, to make this come back successful.
