So I’m completely out of the loop and the article wasn’t clear on why there’s apparently a mad rush to transfer servers. New update? New servers? Anyone in the know?
Hopefully someone with better info than me will chime in (my algorithm occasionally coughs up LOTRO vids, but I haven’t played seriously in some time). I believe that there are two stated reasons for the situation, both relating to the age of the game. The first is that the remaining player base is not big enough to support the number of servers currently offered, and so consolidation will help the game feel more alive at any given moment. The second reason is that the legacy servers are 32 bit, and they want to modernize to a 64 bit architecture. So, two birds, one (standing) stone.

They opened 64bits servers instead of the older 32bits (that’ll stay open).
I don’t think I’ll transfer my account this time and just let it disappear and die one day.
