You need just group your friend (for your friend cross server) and you can play with him, in the same DC. The party leader "teleport" all the party in his server, automatically.

You can build party raid from your friendlist.

As a result, your argument is irrelevant.
Uhm, what argument? It looks like Krokov was trying to offer a potential solution to "world chat," although a linkshell is still limited to the people who are invited and not something that anyone can join.

There is also novice network, but that also has its own rules for joining and the quality of chat can vary, as with any (semi-)public chat.
