Greenlight NA and EU Travel

[Leathen]

Why has this not happened yet?

It bemuses me so much that people still have to make alts to play with friends - the code is there - the people want it - SWITCH IT ON PLEASE

Yea feels really dated that regions are segregated; I get it's because of ping and all, but it's so easy to meet people globally now if you're online so you end up having friends in different parts of the world

As an American player who plays almost exclusively on the EU side of things because that's where my friends are, I don't have any culture shock issues... much as I never did in fFXI... I will warn players though, that lag and feedback can be awful in end-game content when you are playing on such a far away data center. As long as you don't mind that, there isn't any issue, nor should there be cuurually, unless we all start losing our minds.

As someone from EU who plays on US to hang out with friends. I would love that.

Personally i wana play with my friends who are on NA server, and we tried to both meet Oce DC but the problem there that its almost dead, its so hard to get q for anything, not to mention the lack of PF grps, i know there are a lot of ppl like who have friends in NA server and just wana play together, and for that i hope SE make it possible to do so.

I have an NA and EU character. I would greatly appreciate having DC travel. The lag isn't really an issue and would enjoy playing with my friends on both DCs. I really don't see any downsides to this being added. I don't think a culture of "Everyone goes to Aether to raid" is going to be picked up by EU players and vice versa. It'd save me a lot of time if I could just do the content on one character rather than having to do twice the amount of content.

As a legacy EU player who has been on an NA server since beta, I would love this change. I could move to EU data centres to visit friends and to queue for content so I do not have to live with 150-200 ping without having to permanently leave Excalibur and all my friends and my house.

[Atreides]

I also have an EU and NA character to vibe with friends of either side, however it's a real pain to not have access to all emotes if you're not on your main and have to do the content twice... I just wanna be able to do that on my main without having to move to OCE which is dedge.

[Atreides]

Eh, it would probably just make Dynamis and Chaos even more dead than usual as everyone piles into Aether and Light.

This is an entirely different topic that needs to be addressed anyway. It would change nothing in that regard. The only real way to fix it is making duties cross datacenter.
