    Each server handles a zone in FFXI.

    WoW's servers are mostly all intertwined, that is why you don't "zone" in WoW every time you move into a new area like you do in FFXI.

    The main times you need to "zone" in WoW is instanced dungeons/raids - all other times all of a land (such as Volbow in FFXI) are "zone" free.

    WoW can have world chat because of this, whereas in FFXI, a world chat channel would be very heavy on server loads - or they would have to have a server dedicated to just world chat, such as the "server messages".

    Either way, it would be very costly and take ALOT of programming.
