Physical/regional servers FINALLY confirmed ??! (Y)

[Dragonheart]

man i see you reeeally want to argue in favor of your regional severs idea here but the reality is:

IF they make regional servers for all 3 regions, even if they leave international servers open, it will have enough impact on the playerbase to split the community into 3 AND severely cripple the existing server community's

sugarcoat it all you want, this is whats going to happen with regional servers

If that you said will happen, it mean that 2.0 has failed to bring old an new players. And that will be a big problem^^

i didn't say the regional servers wont be full and lively,
its just the international ones taking the hit and forcing you on a regional one in the long run if you don't want to play on a low population server, global servers aren't something that's is very common so most new players will automatically flock to regional ones

the "every other MMO that is WAY more successful has them" argument was kinda cute thou^^
takes a lot of restraint not to just answer:
"why don't you play those awesome way more successful games that have everything you want and sprinkles on top then?"

infact we all know that FFXIV was a failure, and lag is one of the pieces of the mosaic. While in other games, lags is just an old thing that should not happen in 2012 with current tecnology ^^"

yeah if only they were working on some kind of new client, engine and server structure with that 2012 technology as we speak... ^~^

Talking with you is like speaking with a wall i see :P

I don't see where is your problem. Local servers are still not confirmed, and even if they'll be, international servers will coesist, so you will stay there with all your international friends and blablaablaa...

While me, and who wants to play at high level, with fastess possible latency, will move on local server...

So where is the problem?

and i am really glad they are not confirmed
ok this will be my last response here since you obviously just shrug and discard every point of concern i make anyway and wasting my breath is not one of my favorite past times
so ill make this as clear as possible:

The problems:
)People wandering off to regional servers with the promise of "you suddenly play like a pro without that fabled LAG" will cripple existing international servers

)New players are going to prioritize regional servers since they are used to them from other games, crippling the flow of new players on the existing international servers

)you have friends, your friends have more friends, they are from all over the world most of the time,
try to keep every single one on your server against that sirens call.
its impossible
see the outcry from the server merge at first,
it may have been forced for everyone but everyone could also choose freely
so in a perfect world all just go to the same new server right?
that's just not how it works in reality thou, there are way too many factors for that.

regional servers will ruin one of the best factors the game has, a colorful international community, making the servers busy 24/7

for me the cons BY FAR outnumber that bit of ping people hope to gain (if that's even necessary at 2.0)

So basically you want to deny *everyone else* low latency gameplay because you want to force people to stay on a server that's not ideal for them. Now that is at least every bit as egotistical as the people who want low lag are.

I could just stay the same:

"Why a lot (most?) ppl that are in this forum, want FFXIV to be a stone age game not at level of modern game? "

And we are talking about of a TECNICAL FEATURES! You're arguing about people that want simply "modern features" that are a standard in mmos from 5-6 years to now. I really can't undestrand you guys, SE asked you 1000$ each if they implement a standard? Uhm... :/
