they were straight-up celebrating when it happened. so before you go off blaming the people on there just try to remember that they weren't the only ones asking for this and it would've happened either way.
Well I mean no one is pointing a gun at players forcing them to move to Oceania servers or else?

At this point, we can likely conclude that Oceania servers are a failed experiment and could be due for shut down in the future of player population keeps plummetting, especially when players are allowed to transfer off Materia once the 90 days lock on period is up.

Queues are absolutely horrendous here when I had tank/heal queues exceeding 10 minutes during Oceania prime time.

Can't imagine many people wanting to stay on these dead servers except for those who just want to play house decorators.
