Sales resumption, Home World Transfer resumption, and Oceanic Data Centre announced

Yep they don't need to move the actual server. They should move 2 old world into the new datacenter like they did back with the EU datacenter when they opened it to create a more stable foundation. Otherwise the population growtth might be much much slower since an empty server is really not appetizing to move in at the start. I imagine a lot will wait for it to grow before moving there which will further add to the problem of getting the population to grow faster.

You can't compare the oce dc to europe though.

the servers your quoting are jpn servers. from the jpn dc people from other regions joined them knowing there jpn servers. if thy moved them there main target audience (japanese players) get effected.

the Europe's dc shuffle did not massively hinder the main target players bar those who changed for statics.

They are not going to massively inconvenience the priority player target for those two worlds.

It is technically similar. Europeans joined NA servers knowing they are NA servers as well. When they moved those two world to the new Euro Datacenter from NA they also brought NA players there to Europe. I think they offered free transfers for both ways, in and out of the new EU DC, for those that wanted to go back to NA servers from EU.

But yes the big difference here is that the japanese is their main customers so their voices understandably carries more weight than NA players.

No, the servers moved from NA to EU were already labeled EU servers while they were here. They were just physically here. But meant for EU players to congregate on.
