This. There's nothing stopping you from taking the traditional emigration route.
No, the issue to me is players on those islands have to deal with this random transplant that is difficult to place IC. I don't know the geography of EI very well but a new realm in Gelene? There was history there. There was a story. It took us months originally to take and hold Gelene. Allowing a new realm to just bam spring up feels so wrong to me.
