First off, I WILL and look forward to try different servers to test data locations. I assume that we will have to start a fresh (lvl 1) character to try out a server other then the one our legacy characters are on?

I played in the later days of 1.0 with several real life friends and several more intend to join once ARR launches. What can you tell me about the steps being taken to ensure people will be able to transfer in groups to the server of their choice without being split up?

What steps are being taken to ensure there will be enough room for legacy and new players that intend to join them on legacy servers? I'd really hate to go threw the trouble of seeing 5-6 legacy people transfer to a NA server that fills up before all the new real life friends can get in.

Where are the NA/EU data centers located? Is it in Montreal?

P. to the S. Although I wasn't completely disappointed with 1.0 ( I considered some of the ideas fresh {exp earned = battle contribution} and interesting mechanics {Battle Regimen/ incapacitation) I do look forward to wrapping myself around this new vision of Erozea that you are creating. Good luck to you Yoshi-P and all the devs/designers at SE. May you reap wonderful fruit for all your hard work.
