Instancing only seems to occur after an x ammount of players have been in a zone and its a pretty high number. As of yet ive found the instancing in TOR to be well done, never felt lonely

Free transfers would be a good way to solve it, with the addition of not being able to a server with traffic higher than heavy

This is not a bad idea, but it would leave alot of trash behind. Perhaps a free transfer for guilds? Thus moving an entire guild and giving all members the ability to transfer with the guild or stay. Bioware decides the destination, probably the least populated server

The queue on Tomb is the worse, an hour wait after the server got back up?! I just wanted to check my mail but i have to wait an hour or more to do so.
