I know a bit ago OCE was opened up to be visited by other DCs, but I wanted to ask when and if we would ever get NA to EU. I have a lot of friends in the EU and my NA friends have slowly fallen off playing.
Unfortunately, OCE has way too terrible ping to meet up over there and play. It's impossible to do anything other than maps there and if we wanted to do content.. the timezone difference is terrible since most OCE players are asleep when we can visit.
At least if I was able to go to the EU, the ping wouldn't be so terrible and the timezone wouldn't be polar opposite.
My desire to play this game has fallen off significantly since I'm not able to play with my friends and I am really just hanging on by a thread here and hoping we will get NA and EU cross-dc abilities.
I really hope SE is thinking about implementing this and soon. I would have loved to do the new exploratory missions we're about to get in 7.2 with my EU friends. But alas.
And before anyone mentions why I don't just move.
Timezones for if I ever do find people on NA or those friends come back, and I'm on Balmung with a house. I don't want to lose my house and I also don't want to never be able to go back to my home server. I have been on Balmung since the launch of ARR.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I know one reason there has been hesitation has to do with JP expressing not wanting to be connected. That is fine. I think we can all wholly respect that and SE can just make it so that NA and EU are connected for now. Could later consider adding JP if their desires change or maybe make it so JP can visit out, but no one visit in. But I think not connecting NA and EU because of JP is kind of a lame reason not to. There is no reason to ignore all of us begging for NA and EU to be connected since SE has proven they can link some DCs without linking all.
