I am happy for my European friends they are not being made wait the 4 months + (1 extra for zero bug) they made us wait, but hmm;

It's super surprising they are not letting FCs form and level up the 30 days. But it means those who made their shells on day 1 of the servers will get the prime plots in wards 1-12 on 5th of August and those waiting for homeworld transfer to start a FC will miss out and be left with smalls as they watch the day 1 shells lap up the cream.

Edit: To be fair for everyone in those datacentres, I'd urge SE to reconsider and keep the new EU server's housing locked until 30 days pass from the restart of home transfers.
This is the biggest issue, as you mentioned it will all go to shell fcs and potential venues, actual players who wanted to transfer there and "establish" their fcs wont even have the choice to do so, it's absolutely ridiculous.

Make it so it starts 30 days from the reopening of home world transfer which is today, and this is fair, however this is not with such timing.
