Moving to Paris

As a heads up, the ping will likely be difficult to adjust to if you decide to stay on one of the NA servers. I'm from the UK and started out on the NA servers - I adjusted to the ping. Having finally made the decision recently to move over to one of the EU servers I've found that the difference is night and day. Loading screens are instant. I have much more time to escape AoE's. I can play MCH without abilities not registering. It's pretty great.

As an aside, you only need to purchase one server transfer and you can move up to eight characters over at once.

Only if they are on the same home world. If they are on different ones you have to pay for each homeworld transfer

You don't have to move, but if you want decent ping you really should. My gameplay changed completely when they put in EU servers and I moved.

if you move to a preferred world you don't have to pay anything by the way, and you also get some in game benefits.

It has to be a move from a congested world to a preferred world. Otherwise it's not free

You might get your account "quasi-suspended" for the change of your ISP's location (detected via your IP). So plan in some extra time to talk to the support.

I've had this happen a few times. Never had to talk to tech support. They just locked my account and forced me to change my password. Once I changed my password, got in just fine. IIRc they did ask for one of the security questions that are set on your account, OP make sure you know those.

I think Finland is much further distance wise than France, from the US datacenter.. and I played there for some time before moving back to EU and I had fairly decent ping(all this was before Copied Factory though). I guess it also depends on ISP.
