[capricious]

I don't play on test but there seems to be a number of people that seem to think that something needs to be done and soon. Sure they could offer one time transfers to test but how many people would actually want to move to test? If these people had a desire to play on test you would think that they would have created characters there already. If there is a need for more people to be on test then they need to do more to get people to play on that server. Offering transfers that nobody is likely to take is no solution.

Arctic,

One of the recurring themes I saw at the launch of test and after was people expressing the view that they would be happy to play on Test but did not want to lose the investment they had made in their live characters. The option of a transfer would allow those players to move if they still wished to. If after the transfer SOE considered that the population still needed a boost then other options could be considered.
