Cross Region Data Center Travel to Oceania is Open. Thoughts on it so far?

Cross Region travel to Oceania is open til 7.0 maintenance. What do you think of it so far?

so far, from what I have experienced, it doesn't seem like lag is too bad for me. I did a MSQ roulette and lvl 90 roulette with little issues.

Seems pretty obvious to me that Inter Regional travel although in Beta seems to work as well as DC travel as it existed before. I'm certain if they wanted to open back and forth to everywhere it's an option for them technically and it's just a matter of making the decision to allow it everywhere. The travel was quick and limsa is packed on Sophia. Hopefully this will help the DC with DF and make playing there so much better.

I'm sure housing was an eye opener for many who took the time to look and see how many houses are up and open for sale.

Connection from Aether to there took a little longer then if I went to another NA DC but once I got there everything worked pretty well. I looked at some stuff on the MB and also did an Expert Roulette. I thought it was really cool not just seeing the Oceania players but also the EU and JP players also visiting.
Was pretty dead in the overworld but an Aussie friend told me when I was playing was dead time, so makes sense.

The games playable up to like 200 ping anyway, speeds many europeans were already playing around in their NA chars.

Im curious how players interact if the feared 'culture clash' doesn't happen, then all the panic about ' the clashing cultures' is going to seem silly

The culture clash won't happen, because it didn't on the Cloud DC. It's just fearmongering.

I get to play with friends that live in other regions now. I've been helping a friend who lives in Australia with some dungeons. There's some lag, but that was to be expected.

There are so many players in Limsa but none in PF.

It's called adapting. Everyone will adapt because nothing will be done. If a clash happens, it will happen early then be old news a patch later as it settles in. The same as any other clash in existence anywhere. The people who caused the clash will eventually keep their mouth shut since the damage can't and won't be reverted.

Or people will just get more liberal with the kick button in instances/specify who they want in PF listings if they care that much about what country someone is from.
