Strange they didn't post this on here/Lodestone. Not everyone has FB.

"and for current players in Europe, there's no need for you to do anything" - yeah, except pay some extra if you've been playing somewhere other than Chaos for whatever reason (aside from all the inconveniences of the transfer itself) if you want to enjoy it, because yes it's done for you, but we want even more of your money. Meh.

Then what do you suggest?

[Ophie-Mio]

He suggests what the proper thing should have been. All transfers back and forth to the server should have been free. The NA players that want to leave can leave for free but the server was implemented for EU players...and they have to pay to go onto the server?? >_>

It literally makes no sense. The server and the possible issues that could have arisen from a new location/ping issues should have just made them have it free for everyone. Now, it's a matter of EU players having to pay for what should have been theirs from the beginning.

You must be fun at parties.

Yeah, I don't attend parties, so no worries, thank you. ^^ But indeed, Ophie hit the nail on the head - they did the free transfers, it should have been two-way, because as it is, it's just not fair. Yes, EU players on other servers retain the same quality - but at the same time, there's much better quality option available for them. A much better option, in fact, practically my ping to Shiva now is a quarter of my ping to Gilgamesh:

...so there. And no, I don't want to transfer, I've friends on Gilgamesh I don't want to leave, so that's not why I'm "bitter" about the issue. It's the core principle that I find offending.
