Whatever the real reason behind the move is, they know that players will quit, and they're probably prepared that 3-5k subscribers will quit over this.
It's one hell of a way to treat long term subscribers, but as they say, you need to break some eggs to make a omelet. They probably hope to profit on the move one way or the other long term, wheter that's just lower server costs, or if the intention is too grow the casual segment on the move.
