I guess they should only have one server. You know, so that way everyone is there and you aren't missing out on their presence.Quote:

10-18-2011, 07:52 AMAlerithSarcasm aside, that would be pretty nice. Assuming the lag wouldn't be so thick you could taste it and the game would run just as smooth, I'd be all for this.Quote:

My main concern is Economy. If all of japan goes to japanese server, who will make all my endgame items? :P Will the game cater to people who work 3rd shift? Majorly the population differences during certain times of the day/night when i need someone to repair my gear? Finding parties at off hours? I play with a Portuguese ls and an English ls. I don't speak Portuguese one bit, but we could still manage to do darkhold together. Having a world where people from all over log on enhances the chance of finding people to do content with, whenever you log on. I also have a feeling if they offer segregated worlds, the global worlds will become empty. and some of the races that do play don't have a strong enough following for their own world to be sustainable successfully (i.e i don't see alot of french or german players.) You are going to spread your player base thin, and will become even harder to find people to do content with. Hence will i be forced to go to a regional server even though i don't want to, just to find a player base?

I'd consider a working, single-shard fantasy MMO on Final Fantasy XIV's intended scale an amazing, wonderful feat in and of itself and a draw in its own right - although for everyone's sanity it would require realistically sized cities and spaces between them, probably. Then again by the time server tech's on a level could make a standard-form fantasy MMORPG work with a shard-less setup, that probably won't be terribly difficult.
Exactly, thank you.Quote:

Personally a bit sad about allowing people to segregate themselves to specific servers. Japanese population on Global servers will be sparse at best I bet.
