Well, a transfer of an established character shouldn't add to new character area congestion. But in a similar issue, the ARR world transfer news item does say: "Due to fluctuations in World populations, certain Worlds may not be available for transfer." Consider a worst case: thousands want to transfer to Hyperion or another of the most-full worlds. Impossible situation.

October is also when Yoshida mentioned they would start adding new worlds. I wonder if it's related. Like in FFXI, SE let people apply to transfer to new worlds for free when they opened new worlds, and that would probably relieve some pressure on currently over-full worlds. Last week Yoshi-P posted that he plans to address a lot of questions and complications of world transfers players may have in another post before transfers become available.
