Up until the last couple of months, I (at least as an OCE player) have experienced global matchmaking for all D1 activities for about over a year. This made it so that despite being in a completely dead region I was still able to enjoy pvp, strikes with others, and full towers. While connections where typically in the yellow I never felt any impact on actual gameplay. Now I never knew if this was an intentional change or something that accidentally happened as a byproduct to a change made to the servers for D2, but I wish it could come back. Since this has been "fixed" I have been unable to reasonably enjoy the game or play pvp as I will almost never match with another OCE player, let alone enough for a full game. D1 has become my main game for that time period and I would love to be able to keep playing it outside of raids solo/with friends. Please enable global matchmaking :)
