Voluntary Data Center moves, "Compensation" and why its failed, a theory.

Losing Free Company is one of the bigger issues for me, estate included since apparently reimbursement is only for private estates? Luckily EU is getting new servers as well, so if I move there should be plenty of free plots, but as a small FC grinding to that rank 6 to even purchase a plot is an issue. Losing all the credits is an issue. Losing the airships and submarines. It's all a mess...

Heck, I don't even see "I can just buy a new plot" as a real solution. It's taken years to build up and decorate, to have to potentially redo all that because of this nonsense is just... Placing some single items alone took hours just due to having to use glitches... Finally get the FC house how I like it and to have to worry about this...

What would be really nice is if SE set up some form of registration for moving, and if you apply they look into just moving everything tied to you over completely; They move your FC over. The entire house as is. All the credits/FC chest inventory/etc. Obviously there are potential issues with that, and it's not even viable for NA I guess since there are no new servers, but with EU getting brand new servers it seems like at least a potential solution... Too many people with plots might apply for it to be viable for that, but at the very least it should be possible for FCs, right? Seems far too late to work on making housing instanced to allow for that, but it should't be impossible to just give every FC a workshop via some means other than housing, and thus let FCs carry over their Airship/Submarine progress, right?
