So I can't play and tell with EU/NA/JP friends in ARR...

Not very clear considering the confusion. But you keep telling yourself that.

Right... "The players will have a choice of selecting a server based in their region or a server overseas." What's ambiguous about that? It's not his fault people don't know what a data center is, and instead of just looking it up came up with all these fantasy theories about it being a magic computer instead of being just a building that houses servers.

For the record this isn't even a topic of debate on the Japanese forums. It's just accepted as a fact like it should be considering it came straight from Yoshida himself.

I love how he states that there is no confusion about it in the JP forums. Perhaps that is because there were no translation issues involved? Its happened before and I'm sure this isn't the last time.

Also note I stated I would no longer respond to Mijin, not too the thread. There are too many other intelligent people here to ignore such a lively topic! But alas we'll have to see what SE's official response to this is, if any.

Lol I love how you just responded to something I said, but then a few sentences after claimed you were no longer responding to me.

This is just speculation, but I figured it would be the other way around like on WoW. Dungeon finder will be regional, and you will be able to msg people on your friends list regardless of server? idk we'll see. But if they allow cross region dungeon finder that kind of defeats the purpose of having regional servers.

I almost wish there was a way they could go for a server architecture like Eve. But I'm not sure if that would be possible or fitting because its a different genre.

Mijin - one question. Do you actually spend anytime in-game, or does your playtime consist of forum posting? Practically every second or third post I see, is by you....and they're not short posts either.

I'm playing right now, I have two screens. I'm doing hamlet as DoH and it really doesn't take very much concentration...



The only time I post is when I'm actually ON the game tbh.

Yoshida also hinted at his launch plans, mentioning that they will be opening completely blank servers for completely new players, so that they can discover and explore with fresh eyes. But however the launch turns out, one thing is for certain: from what we’ve seen so far, this truly is A Realm Reborn.

The new servers he mentions I'm assuming will be our regional servers that he talked about in the interview during the 25th anniversary event.

22ms to nearest server, 278ms to Tokyo >_>. All my friends in game are NA, I will have no one to play with if they do region only. I'm pretty sure they wont though, or at least only introduce new regional servers not change some over.
