Servers for each Region

[Raistlin]

easy on 2.0:

Step 1: Our actual servers stay as International Servers.
Step 2: Open 3 new servers per region.
Step 3: Allow people to transfer to new regional servers.
Step 4: Free access for people to choose between go an international server (old ones) or to go regional servers (new ones)

People who want to play with international friends will be happy with our actual servers, and people who want regional servers will be happy too.

Would be really nice to maybe go back and forth. If your soloing or something that needs low latency scoot to Gungnir US (in my case) Want to join back up with your world wide bothers and sisters, zip back to Gungnir International. If you could go back and forth prettymuch on demand it could be a really awesome feature!

Part of what i loved about Eve-Online was the single server/international community. I love meeting people from around the world. (theres couches with my name on it if i need one in atleast 5 countries)

Having options for international play and latency optimization on demand would be really awesome

I am not into regional server/worlds. My linkshell has people in it from all around the globe and I love that! I love looking at ls chat and seeing ~french~ even though I barely understand any of it. We just had several people from Spain join also so that helps me with remembering the Spanish I learned in grade school I love hearing about their cultures as well.
If I was stuck playing only with NA.... I don't even want to have to imagine that. Plus my "prime" play time isn't standard "NA" times. Its more like EU. I doubt SE would ever force regional servers on us, but if they did that would probably be the day I quit.

I wouldn't be opposed to this idea:
