It will be saved. They've said it a few times already, and it's also on the roadmap.

It was not "specifically for EU players" but recommended for them, on the forums only, so players who didn't read a lot of news in this given period of time weren't really aware of it ... And, as usual, JP players (even if they're not a lot) have priority for SE on everyone else, so they would prefer to have a lot of EU players angry to be in JP than some JP players angry to be stuck on EU server. At least, in my opinion.
Yeah, I know :P Galliano quoted Evan's earlier post. And then, we didn't know that. So, I just answered with what we've always know :-)
Thanks for clearing that up, at least people will get to transfer. However I still think it would be stupid of SE to recommend a server for EU players and then keep it in Japan, but I guess we are talking about SE logic!
