6 Months of playing/having an account and they open up Server Transfers to a hand pick server. 110 + US Servers down to 12 (11 for EUR). A Server called The Fatman is the Biggest Server for the US (and East) that ppl went in droves when their own server turn into ghost towns.
What I learn from this is........ PICK a
What Everyone else making MMOs should learn from this is..... Make Awesome names for servers like The Fatman, The Bastion, ect and Don't have so many damn servers. You can have 1 Server the US West and 1 for US East, 1 for Euro, ect like DCUO.
Finally for the MMO games that "plan" to merge servers and not let the player choose whatever server they can transfer to so here's some suggections. Make a NEW server so that ppl won't lose their name to a lvl 4 character that likely hasn't play in a long time and gives ppl a fair chance of landing their name. Another reason is that since it's a new server, the regulars won't be in the minority. Their no perfect way to fix this situation beside not being in this situlation but these are a start.
That's all, I'm out!
