World Merger Organization?

[GreyJorildyn]

Seems to me like now would be the time to get some sort of movement going to maximize our time and money spent in ffxiv. I am not really one for proposals but after perusing this forum tonight I'd almost want to say the community should take this opportunity to make sure land on a server best fit for you. Obviously there's a few ways to do this but here's a decent suggestion:

World 01 - EST #1
World 02 - EST #2
World 03 - PST #1
World 04 - PST #2
World 05 - JP #1
World 06 - JP #2
World 07 - JP #3
World 08 - mixed-/international groups/Spanish-speaking
World 09 - RP server
World 10 - EU server

Something like this would at least make sense and provide direction where SE does not. Anyhow, discuss I suppose.

And what if the other language communities have other ideas or organisation?

[GreyJorildyn]

We'd need to reach out to them of course

They said that server #10 would be recommanded for european players. So far, Spane and UK are parts of Europe.

No Thanks...

I prefer multicultural servers, not segregated BS.

100% Agreed.

People from my linkshell are from around the world, some german, some british, some americans, even the swiss this idea would just tear communities apart even more.

[GreyJorildyn]

It just provides direction for the masses. Doesn't force you to choose that server.

Timezone != segregation. You'd be narrow-minded to think that way.

It's much better to have an active primetime than anything else imo. Linkshells with vastly mixed languaes are by far in the minority. Plus they were alotted a server in my outline above anyway

The timezone thing is 'good' in theory but it practice would just cause WAY more problems than it is worth. The sheer amount of people who'd be online and active and trying to do the same things at the same time would just force less people to actually be able to populate the server than if it were open to all timezones. This doesn't even get into the whole timezones=localization and loss of playing with other cultures thing.

Right now, my server stays 'busy' because it has an NA peak time/ JA peak time/ EU peak time. Usually when one group is logging out, the other is logging in. This allows 3 times the amount of people to play on a server without huge lag or over-camping issues. (not that we have anything to camp but you get the idea)


I like the thought though....I mean the whole 'as a community we could organize ourselves instead of 'grumble,grumble' over this'

there is no where say that. They only say 10 is for germany & french recommended not EU recommended
