Some communities will be broken up, and that will be sad, but the FF team are always looking long term, so theres that in mitigation. I WILL miss my Kujata family no end, but I will be trading that for a new start and new friends, which is no less than others do when they sign on for the first time.

Besides, I will be able to travel back and forth via DC visit so in one sense, we arent leaving friends behind, just moving to a new neighbourhood. Doesnt mean we cant go back and play with them, we can.

It will all balance out in the end.
Sure, there's reasons for the various ways they could handle the new dc, just like there's also reasons why they didn't announce how it'd work.

I'm also looking at moving but, for example, in one of the uni gaming communities I'm connected to I'm also the only one looking at moving even though we regularly have the issue of not being able to play together. Rather than moving to the OCE data centers, the others are looking at doing the opposite and staying where they are because they'll be able to use dc travel when they want to play with each other. Kinda making that the best option to them as they wouldn't lose anything and don't have enough of a reason to risk/bother with a move.
