I have been attempting to play Minecraft with a friend for over a year now and the game will not allow us to connect to the same multiplayer world. Every time we attempt to connect, it says "Unable to connect to world."

They live in Turkey and I am from Pakistan. We have tried making different accounts, modifying settings, changing devices (they shifted from their phone to their iPad) and updating versions, all to no avail. I have attempted to join other people's worlds and that has been possible without issue.
