They know it's difficult, they know it's going to be an unpopular move that will upset people, and it sounds like they don't want to have to do it either - but have come to the conclusion that it's necessary.
They also did mention the added unfortunate timing that they have to do this just as they're introducing more ways of connecting between worlds within each data centre.
If they knew this was going to be unpopular and didn't want to do it, then why? Its like they are actively trying to anger their player base.



 
			
			
				It probably has something to do with needing a third data center and spreading servers out across them. Just spitballing here.
What, you think they woke up one morning and said "Let's do this!", with no reason? This is a huge change. While I don't understand the technical reasons why, it's pretty clear that this is an important move.
The server split is not going to be fun for anyone. But its the lesser of two evils, unless you want them to take the game down and rebuild the back end. I can tell you right now rebuilding the back end would take far longer then anyone would be happy with, would also come at the risk that some friends may not return afterwards. Neither option is fun but thats how it is..
Note: Taking advice from a players alt, is like taking advice from a voice in a dark room. Criticism is a two way street remember that!!

 
			
			
				I'm on Diabolos so not really to concerned, until I learned that Balmung will also be on the same new Data Center, because I heard thing about Balmung and I finally get the chance to check out Balmung from what I heard...
They are offering free transfers to those of us who want don't want to go to a new data center. I'm hoping the new center might be new server equipment as well. I'll have a to see if a few of my in game friends are going to transfer out or stay.




 
			
			
				Oh great, people are going now "My problem is greater than yours. Shut up."
I can totally see the devs looking at this and just going "Serves you right for being egocentric."

 
			
			
				this situation sucks for everyone. I'm on Siren, one that's not being moved but now I must move if I want to be with my friends. I get no compensation, no free transfer, no housing reimbursement because my server is 'uneffected'. I want to be with my friends so I'll have to bite the bullet and move myself. It's just a bad situation all around


 
			
			
				I think EVERYONE gets the compensation because they know some people will be in the minority in the non-moving servers.this situation sucks for everyone.

				I may have been confused or misread the initial presentation cause I thought only the new DC could get the free transfer. Hopefully it is for those of us in the minority too. I really don't like being put in this position, it's awful all around
