Greenlight NA and EU Travel

[Kaoru_Eiji]

Have desperately wanted this since it was teased as a feature that only requires the flip of a switch ;_; sad there has been no updates or mention about it since then.

I am just getting back into the game after a break, and was looking to see whether this had made any movement at all.

If Japan don't want it, fair enough, I have never made a character over there, but understand the game is played differently from what I have read. US, EU and OCE, though, while most people don't seem that worried about it, I don't know any who are actively against it.

As usual, given I cannot play during prime time, no RW's for me during the Moggle event, as they will not "flick the switch" and let me go play it on EU.

Am very much in favor of allowing DC travel between US and EU, one less alt to maintain and more easily play with friends from accross the ocean. For majority of population this would likely be a good thing and there's not a huge culture shock compared to allowing to japanese DC, also for those who have to work odd hours would have an active datacenter at different times to run roulettes and other content. Currently having to either jump into alt or meet in Oceania DC to play together is far from ideal.

This old thread again?

Just green light NA and EU, No there is no 'but muh cultural differences' i play on both, there are no massive earth shattering differences like there is with Japan.

Japan can be exempt so its solved.

People tend to make sweeping generalizations about french players based only on their interactions with those who cant speak english.

imo french players are some of the best people to play with. not necessarily "the nicest", but definitely reliable and friendly when you get to know them.

they seem to come in two types: type 1 understands and speaks flawless english, type 2 understands english as well as type 1, but speaks it with such thick accent you hope they would just speak french!

I hope it never happens.

Just use OCE if you want to arrange a visit with your friends, make a DC alt. Communities have got fragmented enough by dc travel.

Cross-DC really is the best solution to this problem. You would not need to deal with the hurdles of DC-travelling, and you would still be able to do whatever you like to your heart's content.

You don't seem to understand the purpose of this post. It has nothing to do with making a "everyone goes to Aether to raid" situation worse.

It is as simple as an EU player on an NA world wants to stay with their friends on NA, but then travel to EU for better ping when raiding. Or vice versa. NA players in the EU region travel to NA when raiding.

It's really as simple as that and there isn't a good reason to be against this. It's just not nice to ask people to endure bad ping like that when raiding when SE can solve that issue.

Eu player on NA here. goes without saying i would love this of course. Chose NA for the rp community. But would have loved to be able to travel back to the EU to PVE and stuff. My guild here on NA is awesome and all.. but their raids and activities happen at 02:00 at night over here. Not always i can join those.

As an Oceania player, boy are there some culture clashes, like with hunts being pulled before we have time to broadcast, people not waiting for cut scenes to end before pulling last boss, and more harassment (and more blatant, public harassment) of female characters. PvP is full of Voyagers shouting commands and gving up the second it looks slightly lost.

And I don't even raid. I don't know what's changed there.
