Please can we have more info on EU Datacenter migration

[Sento-Frost]

When 2.0 came out servers were all in the same Duty Finder. I chose a NA server even while being in France since it was the only only only one available to create a character. A few month later, Duty Finder had been split in 2 groups. At that time entering DF was easy whatever the time. Then they decided to split servers in groups and regroup EU servers. My server (Faerie) had no access anymore to EU players and entering DF was nearly impossible, with 30min+ queue as Tank for roulette (yeah...).

It was their only decision to do this, they never ever talked about this, and it was only because they couldn't manage to code a Duty Finder efficient enough to have all players on the same. The number of players was crashing Duty Finder tool, or letting people in endless wait.

I humbly asked Square to provide us a free migration to EU datacenter, whatever server they wanted, and they told us there would be no such commercial gesture even regarding the circumstances. We had a medium house, I had nearly 10 million gils, but no, we had to manage this ourselves and all pay the migration fee. I ended up selling the whole FC + built house for 2.5 millions (yes, they made a great deal if we look at it now :P) and split the money between each member coming along since you can't move with more than 1 million on yourself and 100k on each retainer.

Don't have high hopes for a favour and free migration. Although I hope for you they'll provide this kind of special service.
