Personally, as long as they keep putting effort into making the content at least palatable, and nothing else matches the way it hits my taste.

I could be the only person I know that plays it.

(PAIN)
Most of my friends have the game in EU, the other friends in NA either have no interest, not playing atm, or just cannot put effort into the commitment. (Which is fair, MMOs are a bit of a commitment, even if it's solo able on the story aspect, or easy to find communities for specific content)

If left to my devices, I'd be running and tracking content for days for others.

So for me, it's really if the game is good enough in my interests. (and one of my interests, is that it does well enough for new and old players. may not be perfect. but it works for now.)

TLDR: kinda already is, I'm on an Island here in NA.

CrossRegion could be a boon, or maybe a curse depending on the friends.
