About certain FATEs and Allied Seals

I'm curious to know if there's plans on adding Allied Seals to certain FATEs such as Odin and Behemoth, as well as some of the giant enemy FATEs such as It's Not Lupus and Go, Go, Gorgimera.

European Data Center

Will the current EU marked data center be moved as is, at least the data. Or will we be given the choice to move to a realm in the new EU data center and thereby losing our FCs, Houses, linkshells, etc or remain on the realms in North America?

It seems a lot of good character names were used during 1.0 character creation. Some of these characters weren't even used after a month of play in some examples. Is there any chance that names could/will be freed up on characters that haven't been logged into or sub'd in several years for active players in A Realm Reborn? This is something that occurs in other MMOs, normally after a year+ of inactivity you have to log in to keep your character name, otherwise you get a request prompt to select a new one upon finally returning to the game if your name gets taken.

Our Fc Mansion is on an Island, when you enter through the bridge you have to keep walking to reach the door, because the mansion is on a side.
Can you have the mansion turned to face the bridge? the whole structure would face the bridge entry.

Is there any thought on adding in some specifications to the Duty Finder? For example, checking a box to show you're happy to play with newcomers, or are looking for a speed run.

Will there ever be an addition of Legacy cutscenes to the Inn rooms book? This was mentioned pre ARR launch but has still not occurred.

In frontlines, is there any chance we can reform alliances within the zone? Example, zone in with team A all DPS, B all Tanks, C all Healers (you get the idea) any way we can swap players between parties?

I liked the transfiguration effect used during the Halloween event. Is it possible to create an item that allows transfiguration or will it be available only during Halloween?

[Whanext]

Just like what WOW does for Horde and Alliance? Someday we can see that the three grand companies fight with each other?

For 2.5, will we be able to trade soldiery gear and accessories for company seals?
