This is the question I've been wondering this whole time. Come on, SmileGate. Why can't you just make CrossFire to be playable from all regions around the world (like PUBG, DOTA, and CS:GO does)? Why can't you just make CF China meets CF Indonesia meets CF Vietnam meets CF Philippines and meets CF servers from the European (EU, ES) and American (NA, BR) contingent, rather than dividing them into their own respective region?
Come on, SmileGate. How many CF regions we have seen died one by one because of lack of players due to them being not famous in their own respective countries? First was CF SouthEast Asia and CF Taiwan, and now CF Japan is next. If only this game could also have an international server for everyone around the world to play, we don't have to worry about having one CF region about to die due to being lack of players and not being famous in their country. Another good thing is we don't have to update every new weapon, character, map, etc you created into each CF region one by one, so all regions would have a balanced update availability. Just stop making one CF region to be special and exclusive, try to be fair to the other CF regions you've been making money from.
I really want to see myself playing in one room with my friends JJBisNowHere, AvalancheExia, Sullvian, the weapon expert Akane Misaka, the coolest CF Indonesia youtuber NickzJSA, our respectful CF Wikia Bureaucrat RonBWL, and also, the famous CF player Shirunai Okami if possible! Start creating an international server now! This is how a CrossFire Next Generation should be!
