This sounds like a really good idea!

Hmmm. Did you rank up to Rear Admiral then take a huge break before the wipe? The thing is that you had to fight a battle with your account very close to the wipe. Maybe you ranked up to Rear Admiral, but you didn't fight a battle near the wipe, so you got the rank and xp you had the last time you fought a battle. If you fought a battle on EU, before the wipe, your xp would transfer to other servers, but you didn't fight a battle on global? For instance, now that I've ranked up to Rear Admiral on EU1, if I go and redeem my XP on Global, I will get my commodore rank back, because that's the rank I had before the wipe when I fought a battle there.
