You have to wait…and wait….and wait…and be lucky and quick to join a full server. Or wake up in the middle of the night.

Yeah the only way at the moment is to try and transfer at something like 3/4 in the morning.

As far as I can tell “Full” is determined by the number of people logged in at a given time. But because “Full” servers are generally more attractive for new accounts/transfers people wait and wait until that “Full” ticks down to “High” and then they join the server. The logged-in population gets a bit bloated because of this and it becomes progressively less likely that few enough people will be logged in to tick down to “High” for people trying to join the server.

I did it at around 9am-10am CST successfully without much waiting for the Full server I joined and when my friend joined a couple days later she managed to squeeze in at around 10pm CST, so even around peak times before it gets super late at night it’s possible for enough people to log out at once to get in.

That said it’s already pretty easy. Full does indeed mean Full. Maybe they could implement a server join queue so that people who were willing to wait would be guaranteed to get in.
