This server is already 3 years old and It’s still dead! I transfered here from NA because i was expecting a low latency and less lag! and to avoid language barrier in JP server. why don’t SE just let us data visit instead of being soo much MESSED UP and dead? Why imprison us OCE? I JUST WANNA QUEUE FOR FRONTLINES AND ALLIANCE RAIDS TO POWER LEVEL MY JOB CLASSES! its soo UNPLAYABLE. Imagine paying monthly subscription on an unplayable game. Can the dev teams do something about this bad system? Like just PUT A DATA VISIT to us OCE? Please respect my post i just wanna play with a good benefit on my monthly sub thankyou!

We are very overdue being able to datacenter travel at least.
Most of who i knew bailed on OCE due to not being able to do anything thanks to such a low population, I admit i barely play now too as a result of logging in, looking at PF, not seeing groups for content i want to do, waiting hours and not getting a single joiner.
Chaotic - Its impossible to find groups for while my friend tells me on the US server he went too there are still 5+ almost full groups up in PF at any one time.
Criterion and Savage - Dead within a week of release.
Deep Dungeons - Getting even 4 players with interest is not possible.
CC - Ranked dies the moment the top 100 secure their spots and thanks too the lack of population, you wont be able to work your way into the reward giving tiers. (They are notorious for being the same people and win trading their way up or being bots), Casual still pops during prime time at least.
Frontlines - We get 1-2 hours of activity a day at a specific time, miss that and your out of luck.
Cosmic - Even on the most populated OCE server (Sophia) it is impossible to complete the stages, when we failed at stage.... 3? i think multiple times all but the most diehard abandoned the content, you cant even really complete the fates more often than not since they don't scale properly (Or at all?) too the number of players/mechs in them, might get lucky and have one mech turn up but if not, your not going to have the population to clear them.
OC - Still active, fates still are finished before you hit the travel prompt lol.
Forked Tower - Most gave up on it, it was too difficult so now you wont get anyone queueing for it. I think there's one premade static who works with Big Kobe (The Materia strats guide creator) but last i heard they are stuck at boss.... 4? Hes only been able to release a strat guide for the first boss when he normally has Savage strats within a week or two to give some idea.
I could go on but i think you guys get the idea, most players either
A) Didnt transfer to OCE to begin with (Why would they want too leave their friends?)
B) Got bored by lack of content due to lack of pop and quit the game.
C) Same as above but transferred back to JP or US.
Giving OCE the ability to travel off datacenter and back wont kill it and while it wont help PF on the DC, it will keep some people playing who would otherwise unsub.
Hell better yet, just give OCE cross DC PF/Duty finder. (With US i guess since i know the entire reason OCE exists is because JP players didnt want players from outside of JP on their datacenter polluting the pure JP population of the place, They WILL be very toxic to anyone not from Japan they find on their datacenter from what i have seen each time i looked in previously) -

Giving OCE datacenter travel will absolutely kill it and you're completely delusional if you think otherwise, if you want better queue times at all hours then just leave.

Pretty shameful what they're doing there. Either allow transfer or merge the DC with another

They should allow data center travel between NA, EU, OCE already, plus enable Data center PF so people don't have to travel, losing access to a lot of features that get disabled if you travel.

I transferred off OCE after trying it for a while. The 18 ping was amazing to raid on but the dead PF was horrible (theres only 4-6 high end groups up a night), you have to PF MSQ for multiple hours and even queueing for roulettes can take 30 min +
Because it's so small the raiding community is very tight knit and clique like. If a few people don't like you then your PF's won't fill for literally months on end.
Overall OCE needs to merge with another DC -

Hey XIV. How about giving players free sub login permissions to OCE, but with trial 'social, housing, trade, party restriction etc, if they travel to OCE?
Basically a trial but with access to paid expansions, and only possible available when travelled to OCE? -
06-22-2025, 06:46 AMGurgehActually I can see why that weld be terrible. OCE would just desert totally, like has happened to every non raid DC in every region.Quote:

Hows about this.
Make the mentor roulette a cross region queue to OCE. It really doesn't take that long to travel. -

it needs a hell of a lot more than just mentor roulette to keep OCE alive
