Has There Been Any Additional Information on Cross-region DC travel?

[probablyquill]

This announcement in January made it quite clear that (at that time) there was no intention of adding cross-region DC travel in 6.1. Has there been any additional information on this recently? Personally, it's incredibly disappointing to be locked into regional DC travel, as I have friends on EU and OCE servers which I would like to be able to play with at 90 without investing hundred(s) of hours or a bunch of money on story and level skips.

According to aforementioned announcement, cross-region travel is "technically" possible, but both that and "implementation is still under consideration" could mean anything. At this point I'm wondering if I should just give up on waiting for it and just pay for a transfer, as I've been wistfully hoping for and being teased by the promise of DC travel for about a year, at this point.

I don't keep up with or know where to find news outside of what's posted on the Lodestone, so I don't know if there is or isn't new information on DC travel which I am not privy to.
