Add 3 more servers while you're at it so it will have at least 8. Remember regions like Japan and eventually NA will have 32, the EU 24, we have 5 underpopulated servers. Fix it or merge it with another DC. This experiment isn't working. Doing nothing isn't going to fix it. People aren't going to come here while you're adding more servers else where and housing and so on.

Letting it languish is unacceptable. When you have large houses sitting empty for months and the state of the DF and PF speaks volumes to the state of the DC and where it is going. I'd be willing to bet our population numbers are decreasing not increasing. Your not moving fully populated Japan servers here is the crux of the problem. You preferred to cheap it out and hope for the best well your hope for the best isn't working.
I think can also add that it would cause backlash if any of the JP servers got hooked to a non-JP DC. They already want to be completely excluded from cross-DC travel, why would they be fine being forced to become part of a non-native DC?

I would like to think they intended for cross-region to be a thing to help Materia but because of that they had to shut down the idea and cancel it for everyone. I don't think they'd intentionally try to burn money.
