I hate that you're correct. I'm not at the point where I can justify transferring to a new data center, primarily because even if there are two bids for the medium I want, I'll probably lose it. And as a WoW veteran, I've seen the hell that newish servers go through after the game population has peaked and enters a contraction.

I'm especially salty right now, because I had a rl friend who played this game just announce he's dropping his sub because he can't get a house. He's not interested in raiding, he just enjoyed playing through the story and crafting. He long ago maxed out his apartment and fc room and wanted a house to decorate with. He's tried for months to get a house, and after striking out in Empy and seeing how few plots are available in round 2 of the lotto, simply said it wasn't worth it and there are other games to play. Personal housing is a marketed feature of the game that SE has failed horribly at implementing in a reasonable manner.
