Which is why we often recommend trying to make the character around maintenance time so you can get them over onto the server. It's a pain, yes, but it's one we have to deal with until SE fixes the crowding issue.
It did seem to be lightening up for a bit for a while. Folks were able to make characters at other times, usually around... what 5-8am EST on weekdays? Sometime around there. With the free return week event going on, though, I don't know how if that's still the case. Might be worth checking out, at least?
Otherwise, yeah, you'll have to pay for a transfer. Or start a character on another server and see how you like the game first, and have something to play around with while you're paying the monthly fee and waiting for an opening to make your RP character. And then, if you decide you want to transfer instead at that point, you have a character ready to move over with some levels already under their belt.
