You will always have priority to return to your home server, so I wouldn't worry about getting stranded. But that said, I feel you on trying to visit friends at events and such. I have a friend trying to put together a small art party for some Discord server members, but we're trying to figure out where to host it. They wanted to hold it at their house on one of the Aether servers, but those are closed most of the time, so only other Aether players could come, and that's no fun at all. But if we host it somewhere else, then they don't get to use the housing space they spent all that time and gil decorating in the hopes of inviting people over!

So much of the casual social fun I've had in this game is inviting friends over to each other's houses to just talk and hang out just like we would IRL, but from anywhere in the world. But having some servers constantly closed to DC travel means we can't do simple little acts of friendship like that with each other anymore, and it makes me sad.
