How do you feel about them talking about divided servers?

Unless they plan on having real local servers that'd serve to reduce ping and the sort thereof, non-global/regional servers are useless. As stated a plenty times, the reason there are different worlds is NOT due to design, but due to hardware/software/fiscal limitations.

I discovered in ffxi, how enlightening it is to be able to communicate in game with players who's language I do not share. I would like for this feature to remain. One of the many things that makes ff mmo's unique is the international communication enabled through the auto-translate feature.

I try my best to be polite to everyone in game, regardless of their location in real life. Though I have been fortunate enough to not have a run in with a rude or impolite player from EU or Japan, I could never classify a whole nation by the actions of a few.

personally I think there is no point in having segregated servers if they are all still in Japan. You will still have latency issues, and the tools are there to communicate well enough with those that speak another language, I will not be moving to another server. Mysidia is great and so far most everyone gets along and I have yet to see any anti NM/EU/JP issues.

i like diversity

Are you pro or con?
I feel we should just have a better connection established to get rid of the lag and better auto translate to help the other languages communicate. I am reading the jp forums and most of them are complaining about communication and the childishness of most foreign players (american, euro etc etc), and how they are patient and more polite.
As a community we (Americans) should be more friendly to each other rather than be the stereotypical american that everyone loves to hate. If they divide the servers it just wont feel like FFONLINE to me anymore.

Personally I am for divided servers if that means they are opening up some servers stateside. If that is the case then you will no longer ping Lodestone and FFXIV at 200+ MS. Though I guess it would be nice if they had the option of certain name servers being that way and others being normal.

SE said that we will have the choice between global and localized servers. So who cares in the end? Everyone gets to pick what they like the most.

People here lack reading comprehension though.

IDC about them giving people an option. To be honest thats fine by me. I never had issues with communication in XI with Japanese players. The auto-translate always worked fine. However, just like any person, I did run into the rude ones every so often, the {Japanese} {Party} {Yes,please!} /kick me and husband from party. For me on Gilgamesh and Lev, that was very very few times.

However, because of those few times, my husband really started to get irritated with the Japanese community, so if the option comes along to stay on a diversified server or a US/EU server only, for his sake, we will most likely go to a server where it is regionalized.

TBH, the japanese players I partied with in XI, were always very efficient when it came to grouping up and knowing their jobs. I really enjoyed partying with them, sometimes better than some of the English players I would play with. Many of them had a sense of loyalty, and once they came to know you and your play style, it seemed like we would get picked by the same person(s) if they were on many many times because we could party effciently. *shrugs* That's just my two gil.

People are saying regional servers will alliveate the laguage barrier, but it will not, if we think in NA, we have US, where people speak english mostly, Canada alot of which speak french, and if anyone plays in Mexico what about the Spanish speakers there.

In Europe, we speak English, Spanish, German, French, and any other languages spoken, Asia is the same, but I'm not too sure who player over there apart from Japan.

Regeional servers arent one for each country it for the continent usually so the only benefit is the lower latency, which is only a problem in FFXIV because of thier servers which they know and is why they are changing them for 2.0.

Well if that is how the server divides will work...I have English, French and Spanish covered ...
