However, if any of us are on the 'last to move' servers, we do *not* have the same chance to get names & houses. As I think I explained, as have others, names are not freed up, unless a character moves over with that name. (and of course, if that name is currently held by an inactive player or character. That part isn't clear to me. I see people's opinions here, but no confirmation. Is it active account or active specific character?) This means, allowing staying server people to hop around at leisure, while I guess a test for Turbine's moving ability, is also not terribly *fair.* There IS a benefit to moving first, names, houses, kin names, kin houses. Apparently - personally, I find the developer notes a little confusing still.
As to why not just tell us... I don't know. Either they really haven't fully decided, or - just a weird company decision to have the question linger. Bad idea, imo - I find it pretty annoying. Guessing which servers will be available, and grabbing names on all of them? That's avoidable, by just saying, "It will be these 5 - you can't move to Brandywine, however."
