Yea, Carbine stated doing something about pvp servers was on the priority list but heard very little about it and it was a couple of weeks ago. 
So there is currently silence about what will happen, merged servers or giving pvp servers a last chance with steam launch.
Carbine did say that free transfers won't be happening, so atm it's either pay or wait.

I empathize but don't have much to offer... hopefully Carbine has been quiet because they've got something substantial for the Arcterra release.
 
I would definitely not be happy with paying to transfer either, but then, I had to pay to transfer off of low pop realms in WoW several times. It's poop but I say if you enjoy the game, it's worth it!

			well there is omni bits, the free currency.  but that is just a term isnt it?  because once you have earned it, it is yours to use freely which does mean in a round-about-way you have to spend something.  but at least you dont have to fork over real $$$.  but yes, due to no fault of your own you are on a ghost town server.  rather than transfer, they should just merge so that no more unsuspecting people make the same choice you did.

There were free transfers for a pretty long time before F2P. This was a known issue, and if people decided not to use them then it's on them.

Actually a lot ppl used them to transfer back to PvP servers, I myself moved two of my three toons back to Luminai. 
There server really looked revided with queue times in the first week and has been in a good spot until about Shade's Eve's end. Then both pvp servers just died.
The fact that Crabine released Season 2 patch after 45 days into f2p, when you roughly need a week to farm the full set might have contributed to it. Said patch wasn't even bug-free, in fact it took them another month or so to fix raiting floor bug.
 
Btw, I don't think new players are expected to search info about server's population before they start playing. They should just download the game and get started.
