So that's nice for the EU players. They can transfer to whichever of the 2 worlds is in their current data center, get a house and continue to play with their friends without having their game performance change from what it currently is. I'll make certain to point any EU players to those 2 worlds.

It doesn't help the players on the NA worlds. We have no worlds here with houses available. Players would have to transfer to different regions. They would have to give up playing with their friends. They would need to struggle with poor connectivity trying to play through basic content (drove me nuts when I made my EU and JP data center characters last year).

You can nitpick about Balmung players wanting to play on an overpopulated world but the truth is they're not the only overpopulated NA world. Balmung's been a Standard world since April. The only NA worlds getting marked as Congested in recent months have been on Aether and Primal. If we use the average population on the JP worlds as a standard, every NA world is overpopulated.

SE controls how many worlds there are for players to chose from in a region and the number of worlds controls the housing supply for that region. The current problem is not one that NA players created.
