Timezone != segregation. You'd be narrow-minded to think that way.

It's much better to have an active primetime than anything else imo. Linkshells with vastly mixed languaes are by far in the minority. Plus they were alotted a server in my outline above anyway
While it is good to have people online at the same time to allow us to group and do things easily, the problem is, lets say my linkshell which is multicultural decides to move to a server unofficially designated EST whether purpously or due to ignorance doesnt matter, in order for me living in the UK to stay with them I will have to live by the night and sleep during the day because on an american server EU primetimes will be dead, and dont say they wont, when I started playing DCUO I origanally chose the US server (because of friends) and when I played it was completly dead I saw maybe 1 other person.

The issue here is that you need to get this out to every player in FFXIV or people will rage because the majority of people saw it and they have no one to play with because they dont play in the timezone you chose for thier server.
