Sorry but not sorry, i am an Oceanic player (Materia Datacenter) and the game is nigh impossible to do anything on, outside of a few hours of a night time.
This comes down to a few problems with the OCE region as a whole, the major one being Timezones.
The Materia Datacenter is split into 3 Timezones:
GMT12 (NZ)
GMT10 (East Coast)
GMT8 (West Coast)
During daylight savings, NZ and East Coast both get pushed forward another hour, meaning there is a 3 and 5 hour difference in time between the Playerbase and the 'active' times for the datacenter get completely thrown out of whack.
NZ players can barely play the game before 11PM
Eastern States can barely play before 9PM
Datacenter travel needs to be opened, the playerbase of Materia is dwindling more and more as the weeks go on, to the point where there isn't much point being subbed to the game because its almost unplayable with our playerbase size, we need to be able to travel and play elsewhere.
Should we all just pack up and permanently move to NA or JP again?
We can always travel BACK to OCE to experience the good ping and do static related content, SO what reason is there to not let us travel the other way so we can actually play the game at a reasonable time?
