It is not really surprising after other nations have already been moved from the .com client to .eu, yet I didn't expect them to react that fast to the potential law changes in Germany regarding online gambling. Anyways, Poker Germany on the market leader will now settle from the evil DotCom to EUrope - coincidence much?
Just to clarify though, the .eu players still share the same player pool as .com, it's more the potential legal implications in the not so distant future that may arise. After all the German government is trying to master the evil gambling beast for some time already even though the existing gambling law violates EU law.
Dear ___,

2. If you are playing in any tournaments at the time of migration, you will be permitted to finish these before your account is moved.

+++ I even witnessed 50% less bad beats and won 3/4 hands where I was massive favor with a huge sample size of 50 hands on Zoom Poker, so it is already proven that .eu is by far better. Just kidding, if you believe any of last sentence, you should probably join the "Poker is rigged" thread on Two Plus Two ;) +++
