You will have to wait to see what SE allows when they finally open the servers up for transfers. Unfortunately your currently stuck unless you want to start over as it is possible to start fresh characters on Tonberry as I created one there in the past eight hours by refreshing the server list in character creation until it was available.
We did initially ping the servers during the Early Access, so we knew the general latency to expect, but as I said, 250ms is something a lot of us are used to and is often the price of playing. It's just that so much of this game seems to rely on you having a much lower ping than some other MMOs I could name. It's not unique to Final Fantasy of course, and I am expecting the same thing from future MMOs too (I'm looking at you ESO and WildStar). Just frustrating and very disappointing.
