EU Confirmed as 3rd Rate Customer

[Lexia]

At launch, there was no indication that the servers located on the EU "datacenter" would ever be moved to an actual datacenter located in the EU. There was no reason for me to create a character on the "EU" servers.

This person said it pretty well

EU players who choose to play on NA servers weren't the target of that relocation. Besides, it was their choice not to follow official recommendation, and their choice to ignore the future possibility of server moving (it's not the fault of SE if people had poor forseeing abilities and didn't know that server merging, relocating and whatnot are pretty common in MMOs).
