It's not nearly as common as the quoted person seems to imply. XIV is probably one of the first that I've seen doing this, since other MMOs generally just open up new servers in a different area. So for example, a different company wouldn't move Chaos to the EU, they'd just make an entire new set of servers located in the EU, with a new name. There's no such thing as "poor foreseeing abilities" when it comes to something as uncommon as a server relocation.
It doesn't change the fact that you had absolutly no reason to choose a NA recommended server instead of a EU labeled one.
In fact, timezones alone are a good enough argument to join the officially recommended servers.

Don't put that one on SE. It's your decision only.
