What interested me was that immediately before the server transfer I wasn't going via Germany & immediately after I was. I wonder if SE advised EU ISPs of the move & as a result all FFXIV traffic is assumed to be going to Germany until the last minute. Out on a limb, I know, but it was so closely linked to the change it's almost beyond coincidence. =D
