However, I could be mistaken, but I really doubt that the actual purchase price of the plot in the auction was saved along with the plot information, making a purchase-price refund impossible. If you have information otherwise, I'd be interested in seeing it.
Conclusion:
I really hope that the ability to play your Unity characters again, with all their worn, carried, and stored equipment (vault and plot structures), and all the cash they had plus the imperial price of their property, is sufficient to entice many of you to join one of the US shards. I hope that the limitations of the transfer don't discourage anyone from playing their characters again. Its taken the devs quite a while to get to this point, so I hope that how far they could come ends up meeting you more than halfway.
