> When this feature was activated, you could only move from some servers to some others. It was to let you move from a high population to a low population server, and you didn't get to choose which server you could move to. Blizz just said, "If you are on Realm X, you can move to Realm Y. If you are on Realm A, you can move to realm B."

According to what it says now on the page, to wit: "we are looking into the possibility of allowing customers more freedom in transferring to realms of their choice in the future," I'd say it's a safe bet that Blizzard has at least considered expanding that definition. I'd be surprised if they allow characters to change server TYPES, though.
