Taking away servers from ANYONE isnt viable for one simple reason .
You are solving one problem..and CREATING another.
Not an option, under any circumstances.

We pay to play not to wait.
As an Australian playing on NA Hyperion since 2013, allow me to say:
Oh no, more than double digit ping. Unplayable!
Seriously. It always irks me when i see people whine about lag.
FFXIV is the single most lenient MMO I've ever played in regards to latency. The only noticeable effect Latency has on you is the lead time for reacting to and getting out of doompuddles.
Our actions are processed client side the instant you begin the action. Damage may appear a fraction of a second later than you're used to.
Latency has an incredibly minimal effect on gameplay.
If I was able to clear Twintania prenerf as a Monk with ping fluctuating between 400 and 600 at a time before the fixed the server tick rates (Look up old school Titan HM and EX to see how bad it was) causing the lagfeel to be closer to 900 sometimes, I'm sure you could deal with being put on a JP server to play MSQ.
I was going to say something along this line myself. I am a NA player and have had a character on a JP server for more than a year. I won't say there is no lag but I will say I adjusted to it with little trouble and don't even notice it most of the time. I am pretty much only playing my JP character at this point. I will get back to my main on NA when things settle. At least I get to play this way.
If Blizzard sells their servers its to the consumers with an upmarked price point. No cap for the 15th? anniversary they sold old servers to the people.
after this is all over and the dust has settled, how about they give us a store-wide 50% off lightning sale for, say, 48 hours with one gift included, a single character mount, with the first purchase. I'd be happy if they just brought back the special event black car and quest.
BTW, the "get a server" comment was more of a snark at "those other games" than anything like a serious suggestion. frankly, I just needed a little chuckle.
