I was reading the FAQ about character transfers and found this...
Do characters that show up on closed servers count against my 8 character limit?
No: with the closure on 10/15, the team changed the system to exclude closed-server characters from the account limit.
8 when did this change for 2

They are talking about the account limit, not the server limit. Under normal circumstances, you can have up to 8 characters on a single account across multiple servers but only two per server.
It didn't. You're reading it wrong.
8 toons in TOTAL, 2 per server MAX (unless you had an Elder slot, which allows you a bonus 3rd).
You can have 8 characters per account, but if you have toons on one of the closed servers, then you will get those slots freed back up.
eg If I had my 3 toons still on Valcyn, and the other 5 toons are on the active servers, then I will have 3 slots available again to use on the active servers, if did not want to transfer them off, so you could have more than 8 characters showing up on the char select screen.
