Guild Wars 2

So I just logged on this morning to transfer over to Northern Shiverpeaks so I could be on the same server as my friends and wife finally, only to find out it’s telling me I need to buy gems to transfer. Northern Shiverpeaks was originally on the list of servers, which is no longer in the news post about the transfers. The server, along with all of the others, are suddenly showing “Very High” population, so can I no longer transfer? Did I get screwed over just because I didn’t have time to log on and transfer yesterday?

As i remember there wasn’t any list of servers with free transfers.
Te info said that transfer to medium sized servers are free.

So if “Northern Shiverpeaks” aren’t still medium-sized, they aren’t free.

Here is a post of the official reason : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Free-server-transfer-problems/1716537
