In the same boat here, waiting to join some friends on Hyperion. Or even just to get the all-clear that I'll be able to transfer a character there later and be able to play now without fear of losing my progress.

It's inexcusable that SE has not announced anything regarding free server transfers when the service is eventually rolled out. I'm a pretty patient player, but if they decide to make transfers cost money without giving out free ones for those who've lost game time, I'm 100% done with the game.

I'm already not even playing because it just doesn't seem worth the bother if my progress is going to mean nothing in a few weeks. Turns out, the games I'm playing now to keep me occupied are starting to seem like better long-run investments than an expensive subscription MMO. Ball's in your court, SE. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling the same way.
