How Square Enix can solve both data center travel and ping/routing issues for NA

[shiftweave]

I don't know if you played before DC travel was implemented but PF outside of Aether was fine back then.

Firstly - no it wasn't. Crystal was widely regarded as a total meme, and Primal players regarded as the strange ones who did weird strats. Crystal still to this day held onto that reputation.

Secondly, even if it was, then they did implement DC travel. Aether became the absolute hub, and just removing our access to that space does nothing to fix that. There are 11 DSR parties up on Aether right now. There's ONE party up on ANY OTHER NA dc. With Cross-DC pf, every NA player would have access to twelve parties. Adding more DCs without adding cross-dc pf would just add more zeroes to the board.
