Yeah, but they could follow wow's server implication or crossplay with the new consoles.
In wow, they have America region but added realms that are spread across every region from NA, SA, OCE, and more. They implemented an LFG/party to allow every realm to interact with each other.
Crossplay could also be added for consoles especially the new ps5 and xbox series.
In almost every popular mmo theres a jp/oce server. WOW, FF14, New World, even Maplestory 2 had OCE servers despite the lower player base. Ashes of Creation is releasing an oce server too.
I think "low pop" is a *** excuse when in reality theres so many ways to implement servers.
Since the last patch:
More random crashes
Insanse lag spikes - certain dungeons reach 999+ lag and sit around 700 ping certain fights. Enemies teleport on the screen or stand still.
