I guess lying is part of their policy

I had heard (this is unconfirmed) that server caps will be increased, and transfers could occur to creation locked servers. These were not stated as occurring at the same time.
Iām sure there will be more criteria then that, but we have about 20 people spread across 4 servers, ourselves, and have been in discussion with AGS customer service regarding losing a character on a server because it got locked while trying to delete a character and create a new one on the same server.

I understand the outrage over this news but I wouldnt be one to jump down Amazons throat just yet. It easily could have been miscommunication between people/teams. In which yes, is a fault on their part. However, there are multiple sources saying it WILL be possible versus this ONE that says it wonāt be.
One thing that does bother me is the fact that no one from the Dev team outside of @Raftel has commented on the situation with further clarity on the situation.
Overall, I understand the frustration that this situation may/is causing but im not jumping down anyones throat just yet. Neither should you.
You can transfer back and forth as much as you want in Guild Wars 2.
Quite a few employees who worked on that game have been snapped up by Amazon to work on New World so I would be surprised if the team here couldnāt implement data transfer between regions.
Everyone points at World of Warcraft not having region transfers but thatās because WoW is an incredibly old game with a foundation that evolved from spaghetti to lasagna code - meaning itās years of spaghetti code backed up and layered so thick that it has by now turned into an unfixable lasagna.
They still havenāt been able to change your default inventory (backpack and bank both) to become upgradeable with bigger bags like the other inventory slots because it would apparently wipe clean everyoneās inventories and even the auction house somehow. Lets not use WoW as an example of what is and isnāt possible in an MMO.

GW2 lets you transfer between NA and EU, and so does FF14.

Loloi US East
Whereās the transfers at AGS? I am still queuing for a long time every evening in EU. Unlucky one who started playing day 1.
I hope so!!
Iām so happy I was able to contribute to some chaos. I hope Raftel is okay!!
Hey guys, annyone know which is the last EU central server ? canāt find it
Hahaha, guys thank you so much for worrying about me, I am alive and well just remember we do sleep, I see there has been trouble with my response, from what I see on the screenshots it always refers to server transfer and not regional transfer, I did verify yesterday just to be sure but it will be my pleasure to double-check, just be patient since I am not on my shift yet guys 
Appreciate the response, but some players might be waiting on more info before committing to a character. For me, Iām not going to keep playing the character I was leveling on US-E if I canāt transfer it to US-W to play with my friends. But Iām not starting another character on US-W just to do all the same leveling I did in the last few days unless I absolutely have to. So basically, I am not going to play until we know for sure one way or the other. Iām in no rush to get to level cap so itās not tragic, but I would like to play.

Totally understand your concerns @puppiesforever
For the moment we will have to be on top of the official response to know how it will work exactly.
I am still trying to see what else I can find so you can be a little bit more at ease but it aināt easy when it is still a work in progress.

We donāt even know anything official about the server transfers. Although I must admit, the game plays like dogS at 110+ ping.
Now lets imagine a company with an immense technology portfolio (AWS currently hold 32% of a 41 billion dollar cloud based storage industry) creates a video game. Since we are talking about a company that routinely and reliably transfers data as its trade service. I guess we all figured they could keep their end of the bargain when confronted with the server clumping issues day 1. Lets not forget we are talking about the world leader in cloud data migration. This company made billions last year moving data for people across vast distances. To think that the world leader is unsure about providing data transfers in a video game is amusing. Must be a lack of resources.
Who cares about this weeks imaginary deadline for providing transfers. I personally feel the NW team should not rush themselves in the creation of ingame services. The mild annoyance of a delay. Compared to the āread the fine printā region locked transfer service is a no brainer. I hope they, as professionals can tell whatās really important here. It is most certainly not silly deadline of this weeks end. Take your time and do it right please.

Welcome back! I apologize if this sounds rude, but if your confirmation is indeed true, then this information should be announced publicly on the launcher/title screen of the game, steam update, and through social media, so it can be spread to other users who are also playing right now thinking that theyāll be able to play with their friends based on the original statement saying transfers will be possible to a different world without clearly stating āwithin the same region.ā This is not the type of information kept in one forum thread. Thank you.
My time is pretty damn valuable. If they dont want to respect that then I have no reason to continue supporting their game.
Well these two post and many more like it in this thread sure didnāt age well.
