I don’t have a pizza-hut style loading bar available, but the when some of the early morning regions were opening, the merge scripts on Europe Central were just reaching about the half way mark – so significantly more data is being worked through.

PLEASE keep in mind the above comment is not an indicator or accurate point of data to estimate how long Europe Central merges will take, as there are additional steps required to complete the merges and validate all of the work that is taking place, and these will take different amounts of time. We’ll keep providing updates to when things are opening up. Just thought it was an interesting note to share with OP!

Having more data to transfer and Europe Central taking longer to open isn’t a result of different treatment of the region; the Europe Central region in game by far has the most significant amount of player and server data to work through with these merges due to it’s high population and active playerbase, so it will naturally take more time to complete.
