Greenlight NA and EU Travel

[TaleraRistain]

I don't disagree with the issue about Aether congestion. However, I believe it's being overestimated how many people from EU are going to go over to Aether; when that's not the only NA DC that exists in the first place. If we assume people go to Aether to raid, then EU won't have a reason to go to Aether just to PF when 1. Most likely at their good time NA might be asleep or PF on NA won't be as active during EU peak. 2. Why would you sacrifice ping to raid? Probably just to play with friends, but again, this number might be overestimated. 3. People from NA can go to EU too, not everyone wants to go over to NA all of a sudden.

I do believe this topic and the other are just seperate things. I only made this thread because Yoshi himself said they have the tech and is waiting for the community to greenlight.

It isn't just Aether. If Primal or Crystal or even Dynamis have no non-congested servers, nobody currently on NA can travel to those DCs. Dynamis is usually the most open. When I've looked to go to Crystal or Primal, they always have mostly congested servers, too. The only difference from Aether is there's usually some that aren't.

And it's not just about raiding. It's about people coming to join friends, or visit venues, or any other reason people would hop DCs for. If nobody would come over, then there would be no point of this thread. But since people would come over, it would add to the problems we already have on NA.

And I'm opposing your community greenlight because NA can't handle this right now and having players from EU would only make our current problems worse. They have to fix the issue they caused with these restrictions first so NA can travel freely among our DCs again.

Easy fix...region wide PF.

This has nothing to do with PF. This is about DC travel in general on NA right now. It's hit or miss if I can do something as simple as visit a friend on another NA DC because it could be a time where there aren't any non-congested servers available.
