A friend of mine has more or less given up on this game. Which made me want to post this for opinions and thoughts.

He works during the day and can only be on during what SE has determined is "prime-time" so they enforce log-in restrictions. Because of this, he hasn't been on in 4 days.

He asked, basically, how does it fix anything? The servers are full, sales have been halted and people have already made characters and friends on the servers they are on. Once servers are added, once sales resume, aren't we still in the same boat? Aren't the servers we are on already full? Why would people leave the server they have invested time in, made friends on to go to a new server? Won't the new servers be filled with the influx of new sales?

An interesting point and I can't help but agree. The situation stays the same. The only real solution is new servers and free transfers but I don't think that's in the game-plan any time soon.
