"Greetings,

I've got some additional details to share with you all in regards to the Worlds being at capacity on the application page. Multiple times throughout the day, the data will be collected and reviewed by the development and operations teams. Once they've calculated the amount of space that has been opened up from characters transferring, they will then manually update the application page to change some Worlds from "X" to "△". This will often take place from the hours between the evening to the morning each day (PST). Users wishing to move are urged to check the application page during those times for newly opened Worlds. "
