Are server transfers working?

I remember reading a blog post from Arenanet saying server transfers would be up and free during the launch period. i was just wondering if this IS the case, and wondering how exactly you go about transfering servers? Is it just in the main start up screen where you see your characters?

It is on your main character select screen when you look at the server window there is a server transfer icon that has a cost of 0 gems.

go back one screen from character selection, the select home  server screen. There is an option to transfer.

Yeah they are working, and currently free but paid later. Really starting to dislike the server im on so looking around on the other servers for a bette rplace for me now.

Server transfers are working and they are currently free. They are usually instant, but remember that if there is a high volume of transfers that it may take a while for it to take effect. If this is the case, just play the game as normal and you will be d/ced when the transfer takes effect.

where to go is the question...

I cant see transfering from a full server to a High/full server but Gate of Madness is really lacking. There is little to no communication or teamwork in WvW and we have no well established and organized guilds.

Its pretty much the same on Aurora glade, i mean theres plenty of people walking around but no1 says anything to anyone. Also most people from my country are on one server and there just doesnt seem to be any real organized groups or guilds on here and i want my playing experience to be social. If i wanted a 1 player game i would of bought one.

Sanctum of Rall is one of the lower pop servers, and has a lack of teamwork as well. Funny thing is youll be in WvW and see people complaining "OMG theres no organization you guys suck".... but thats all they will say. Not a word from them actually trying to organize things. Seems to be the way of things on several servers.

As a fellow Sanctum of Rall resident, who was formerly on Blackgate and should have remained there, I couldn't agree more.

WvWvW on our world is pathetic. It's like every moron without a brain came here thinking it would be an instant win, well, looks like the guys on Crystal Desert had something to say about that....

Same story with PvE though. You get 20 people complaining that they all can't dps down an event boss, when that is literally all they are doing, trying to burn it down asap. That shit doesn't fly in this game, you need to work off of the strengths and weaknesses of your fellow group members/players and create proper synergy to succeed.

GW has always been designed around a team play dynamic, going to take a while for most of these solo-oriented generation X types to grasp that simple premise.
