Statics are cross-world. There are cross-world linkshell communities. There are cross-world discord communities. All of these are like cross-world free companies and cross-world raiding, hunting, roleplaying, social events, BA/DRS events and other gaming is a massive part of the game. Content like this being restricted to an FC would impact all of the people in these cross-world (and now cross-data center) communities because it would restrict them all to their homeworlds. After 10 years of building a cross-world game, I doubt Yoshi-P is going to go back.
Theres nothing stopping me from creating an FC of my own if I somehow found interest in doing FC content. Its not very hard to join one either if one pays attention for like 5 seconds in shout chat with people always trying to recruit members.
