Concerns about the Chaos datacenter decisions

[KaiKatzchen]

The option would be nice, because the lag is noticable, but honestly why would a European choose to play on a US server anyway? They're marked that way for a reason.

As you can see from the image the OP posted they were not always marked as such. Back when we had to pick servers - as I said above - the servers were marked as NA/EU - and SE also made it clear back then that there was no plans to make a EU Data center. In the last year plans have changed, leaving many EU's who have been begging for a EU Data Center for 2+ years now - with a choice of stay on a server that was clearly marked NA/EU when they transferred originally or pay. Even Ragnarok was marked NA/EU.

Since you only started a few months ago - this is not an issue you would have seen or had to deal with back at the start of 2.0 - so you are very lucky.

I don't see why they couldn't just waive the transfer fee for any transfers both on or off any server associated with chaos data center. That's what I would have expected them to do.

I agree - as long as the transfers are going to or off of Chaos - I don't see an issue.
