With the ability to transfer to a different server in minutes for $25 how can there actually be any kind of server-based community that isn't being affected in the ways you point out already?

Quite the opposite, I feel, something like this would enhance server-based community. As you play and meet new people you start to form a friendship with someone on another server, you play more together and more and eventually you might move to that server and join their guild, or start a guild, who knows. The end result would be groups of people who actually ENJOY playing together instead of playing together because this group of random people are better at the game than the last group of people I played with, but had to leave when the drama kicked up to eleven.
