After some much needed sleep (cranky) I gave it some thought.

Ultimately this plan alienates people from low population servers, not just those who wish to move to a new server.

It's not about established players being able to stay established, even though the main concern is keeping your community intact (Nothing wrong with that.)

This situation is about people who are currently divided across all servers like EU players.
Once the merge selection goes active it then becomes about people who no longer have a server as well.

In the entirety of the plan here; I like it. But it fails to include everyone, which I can't agree with.
