Do you think regional servers will help?

Very true. SE already invested in the data centers. To abort this now would be throwing a substantial sum of money away.

Sorry, SE decided, we should all shut up. =_=

If YOU don't want to talk about it because SE decided, why don't you just go read another thread?

People have the right to talk about it, even if the servers are already ordered/paid or not.

Edit : Keep in mind they also made the choice to release Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 ... so saying that it's already decided by SE doesn't mean it's actually the best choice.

Remember that Yoshi-P was impressed that the game was fluid when he was at Gamerscom and the servers were in Japan.

Because of that, I'm thinking they decided to add regional servers just to be 200% sure there won't be lag issues like before, and not because it was actually required. So I'm not sure it will really be worth seperating everyone.

I would, but this is almost everything you guys are talking about.

Is it really that hard to keep your whining to one thread? Does your opinion that's not all too different from every other whiner really warrant its own thread?

Is it really hard to not post in threads if you don't actually have a opinion to share on the topic? It must be.

Is it really hard to post your identical opinions in other existing threads with identical opinions?

Whether or not I post in these topics doesn't matter, because you guys keep making new threads all saying the same thing. You are polluting the boards.

Yes like we have a whole lot of other topics that aren't duplicated ad-nausuem. It's part of forums in general dealing with multiple topics, at least in general with english boards. Japanese boards seem to keep alot of conversation to a thread but we have always and will always be like this.

The pointless whining about it doesn't help and only encourages someone to make another thread on the topic to spite the haters. You perpetuate your own object of hate, much like Rokien you people made him the monster he is and I find it utterly hillarious when you continually feed him.

Polluting the boards and trying to save the one major aspect that made XI and XIV better then other mmos are 2 totally different things..

This topic should be spammed until SE caves in and at least agrees to give the community a few global servers and not use the just use failfinder excuse.

Whining and trying to save a major positive of the game are 2 totally different things.

Not as massive as ours. In battles like Ifrit, if you're not standing on a crack, you don't get hit by it, unlike with most NA players getting hit by cracks even when they've run away and clearly aren't standing on it on their own screen.

Playing in Tokyo with a high speed fiber optic connection, you still get hit by eruptions even if you are well clear of it on your own screen. So I don't think distance from the servers and network lag are the only cause of that problem in this current version.

Yoshida even commented about this in the live letter.

"Players in other regions have complained about the lag with things like Ifrit....oh Japanese players have as well" Something along those lines. But people will continue to allow their own misguided judgment tell them that it will be worlds different because of regional servers and not because of less load being put on the server and more on the client.

I do agree that local servers will break everyone up, but this is SE fault for not getting with the times an developing shar based servers. SE could essentially have one "server" broke up into to dozens of shards located locally. Eve does this, all of Cryptic's games do this, and many other MMOS do this to some extent.
