I just posted but I'll post here again.
Incredibly disappointing decision. Our community has been raiding on NA servers since 2013. What incentive is there to go to OCE and leave everything behind? We've travelled the world IRL and met each other from this game....
Was really hoping to be able to move to OCE and play with our NA family still but GG. I won't be moving my main, neither will my raid group.
If they're so concerned about people going to the Japanese servers, just close them off. They can have their own space, I'm sure the rest of us don't care. Nor are we that ridiculous, tbh. Expand your community and raid experience 10 fold? No thanks, we're xenophobic. Talk about cutting off the nose to spite the face.
