    Be happy that it is only NQ and HQ. And not NQ, +1, +2 and +3 (like it was in the first half of 1.0) ^^

    The thing is they will need the time to transfer all the data from the servers in the Americas (where EU servers are currently hosted, think Canada) to Europe down the main cable under the atlantic. Now think if the chaos server cluster has 1m players on it, all the data to each character (and players have multiple) could be 100mb you are probably looking at petrabytes or even exabytes+ of data to move, test, do server load tests once data is accross, check for errors etc. etc. Its not something that can be done in a few hours or couple of days.

    Also don't forget cost I doubt they would be spending less than £3m to move the servers.
