Same here. I had a group of friends who were interested in playing because we would all be able to play together.

Half of them got on in the very beginning, the other half have been locked out since. All of them are refusing to continue paying for a game that doesn't let them all play together.

If they can't upgrade the servers infrastructure any further, then open another legacy server or two, allow transfers amongst the legacy servers and stop letting people create characters on legacy servers unless they have an invite from someone already on it. Otherwise there's going to be a lot of people dropping off at the end of this trial.
