Whilst I see where you're coming from, it is you that is trying too hard to be insulting and edgy and in fairness, you are succeeding. Even if we take 1.0 out of the equation, when ARR came out EU servers were not actually physically located in Europe, so for a lot of us it didn't really matter where we played we were basically choosing between Canada (NA) or Japan. So I originally played on a US server for several years. Over time EU players have built friendships and FCs on those servers, there is no simple case of just "leaving" - we do not have guild transfer in this game you have to manually tear down everything you've built up and start it over (oh, you have an FC house? Good luck finding a free plot after you move). But in your seething rage you lack compassion so I guess making this point is wasted on you.

Now I'm not saying SE should accommodate that because at the end of the day, NA servers are for players where it's geographically optimal for them to play on NA. I'm just saying it goes a bit deeper than choice which by the way, we didn't have. And it isn't free for those players to leave either, which it should have especially been after the move.

I am not unsympathetic to your plight, just wanted to nitpick a bit: FC transfer is coming, and IIRC SE said anyone transferring to one of the new EU servers they're building will not only do so for free they'll fully refund your house.

You were in the East and closer to the data center, no issues. Now that it's in the West you complain.

I'm super close to the new data center so now I get to enjoy those sweet pings you used to have mwahaha. PS. It's only fair.

The NA population split is mostly east coast afaik, so while you enjoy your shiny new ping remember that most people you're playing with now have a worse connection which will effect their performance. Just something to think about.

EC would've also had higher ping if it was in Central America, but at least then it would be fair to both EC and WC whereas before and now it's only fair to one or the other.

Yeah I mean personally - this doesn't actually effect me and hasn't for a while since I moved to Odin ages ago from Gilgamesh by myself and made new friends, I just wanted to make that point really since I found the OP's view pretty shallow and couldn't leave it alone lol. Glad to hear about FC transfers though, will help a lot of people.
