    Can you tell me what drugs you're onto? WoW's done similar stuff for several years and they're by no means using military grade technology.

    It sounds more like you're the one partaking a little much if you expect them to have cross DC queues ready to go after travel only launched this year. They've been testing it out, but it'll likely be a while before they decide to launch that feature.

    I guess that depends on what you mean by similar stuff.

    Blizzard Global Play allows you to connect to game servers in regions outside your own, making it easy to play with your friends in other parts of the world. Global Play is available for all our games except for World of Warcraft.
    OCE is still connected to NA because the OCE logical data center was originally hosted at the LA physical data center before the OCE physical data center was added. Blizzard moved the entire logical data center so it was composed of realms that already had mostly healthy populations.

    If OCE was treated as a separate region by Blizzard like SE does instead of it being considered part of NA, OCE and NA players wouldn't be able to play together there, either, just as NA players can't play with EU players unless they purchase a separate EU game license or Asia unless they purchase a separate Asia license.

    At least with FFXIV, it's a single game license regardless of whether you want to play on JP, OCE, EU or NA. Only CN/KR remain completely separated.

    I said similar, not world queues, which would meant playing with people in OCE and JP for example. WoW allows you to join groups from all kind of servers within NA/OCE, at least 50 different ones.
