Regional Servers? (Opinions please)

Do you think FFXIV would be better with regional servers? In my opinion, I think it would be for the best. Less latency issues and players wouldn't have to use the auto-translator. What are your inputs?

No

This has been discussed a lot. The main "latency" issue with this game is being fixed in 2.0. I prefer being able to play with people from across the globe.

i would much prefer to stay on global servers. due to my work schedule there's no way to know what time frame i can get online from week to week. global servers are much better for me due to being able to get on anytime of the day or night depending on what my work schedule permits and have people in the game to play with. with regional servers it will mostly be people on during their prime time and then dead the rest of the day.

if they add some regional servers that's fine and the people that want to play on them are welcome to it, but leave global as an option because that's where i'll be going.

Latency will still be an issue because the data transfer from each region, it will be less, but there will be latency issues, at least I think.

I think that would be a good idea, making it a choice to be on regional servers.

It will be significantly reduced. I rarely, if ever, had an issue with it in FFXI. XIV's main problem is the crappy servers, code ETC.

Never had an issue in FFXI? Did you ever do dynamis? Latency issue was terrible in FFXI if more than 10 people were around.

It's already been long confirmed that 2.0 will have both global and regional servers.

SE give bad latency so suck it
