Can we have LFG over all servers?
Similar to Instant Matching, but LFG. For the dead server active players.
Or
Can Instant Matching LFG-able?

The challenge here is that some of the other markets have consolidated down to less servers, and may also have a different attitude about LFG, so I'm not sure the demand is equally felt. But certainly for our market, it would solve a lot of perceived problems. (A lot of the perception of servers being "dead" is not actually about their overall population by raw numbers, but based on how easy it is to form parties outside of guilds.... which isn't a metric EME or BHS necessarily monitor since it's more subjective.)
I honestly don't think server transfers were ever designed to be this giant profit center, even though they charge money for it. You charge money because you want people to think twice before moving around since it disrupts server stability. That stability is ultimately better for the health of the game. It's better if no one wants to transfer.
Other MMOs that also charge for server transfers have still added this feature later on, so I don't think it would be rejected for that reason alone.
so cross server erping is so bad ?
you wouldn't be able to inspect people who apply because people on different servers can have the same name
and if you can't inspect anyone then you might as well just be in instance matching
that's not to say making this system would be impossible, just that it requires more work than it would appear to aka they're not going to do it
