    Yea pretty sure this was planned to happen as some point which is why they told EU players to pick a server listed as EU even though they were in NA anyways.

    Technically, they also told NA players to pick a NA server and JP players to pick a JP server.

    So you're arguing that no free transfers should have been issued at all.

    Not really the same, because NA players that were on the EU servers are involuntarily negatively impacted by the data center move, while EU players currently on NA servers are unchanged.

    Using the argument from before, they are not in fact involuntarily negatively impacted, but rather voluntarily. They chose an EU server over a JP or NA server after all, despite SE telling them that their experience there will be less than optimal. They therefore willingly accepted that their experience there would be less than optimal, just like an EU player who now creates a character on a JP or NA world accepts that his/her experience will be less than optimal. It just happened not to factually be less than optimal for NA up until now, just like the experience of an EU player happened not to be any better on a chaos world than anywhere else against what was suggested, which is why people didn't care, neither EU, nor JP nor NA.

    As such, if someone is negatively impacted, directly via worse pings or indirectly via opportunity costs, that's their own fault and SE should not issue any free transfers to compensate people for their inability to read which server would offer the ideal experience for their location.


    Duly note: This is not my opinion. I am merely playing devil's advocate here.

    I don't think it was really planned, more that it was in the back of their (the dev team's) minds to see if, one day, they could get support from SE to implement an EU data centre.
