Limited Data Travel System

Reading too much into it. They probably aren't interconnected in a way that makes instant travel easy, like world hopping on the same data center or within datacenters. Fast links would need to be set up between the regions to transfer your character over.

I agree, there's some technical aspects in the background but it's interesting SE is using differences in game economy and values as a reason not to link the regions.

Previously, when World Visit was introduced, SE stated that the economies of the different servers within Data Centres would normalize over time. Yet for Cross Region Data Centre visit, they brought up game economy and values.
