So when one of my LSs decides to go to an NA server and the other wants to go to a EU server, I just have to willingly cut the amount of friends I have in half?

I play at all sorts of different hours of the day and speak several languages, because of both these things the non-regional system is absolutely perfect for me because I get to play with lots of different people and be active in several LSs.

What SE is doing will make this effectively impossible and it WILL destroy some communities.

No, you're right. There's not much that I can say about that. They'll make the gameplay experience better, but it will damage the community. As I said though, the community wanted better servers, they kinda got it. It's pretty shitty but there's not a whole lot that can be done at this point.

Yep, it's the give take, but MMORPGs aren't about the community these days anyway >.>...

Actually, they are. But not very many MMOs emphasize on an international community. Which is one of the things I like about this game. The international communities will still be there, but they will be severed.

Actually, they are not. It's all about your gear, your performance within your LS and how much time you spend farming items.

If it was about the community, people would play the game for fun, not as their job.

I am happy with this movement,
Don't get me wrong, I like the kindness of JP player,

but I play this game for fun, communicate with others
not just meeting JP player,or study some simple JP greeting words.

The JP player just can't speak English well, & i just can't understand what they are talking about.

A JP primal/NM party just won't let me join, because they will discuss tactics in full Japanese.
& they don't want to waste time on the translation.

And it's hard to find a English speaking LS.

If you like to meeting new JP friend, you are still able to choose a server in their location.

it's not just jp players being seperated though it seems. na and eu are being seperated as well.:

Seems? We knew there were going to be EU-located servers same time we knew about NA ones.

Since many EU speak english, they can easily join an NA server if they want and vice versa. In fact, those that do will contribute to softening the difference between peak times.

Why should i join a Server that is connected to an NA Datacenter? It might be better then a JP Datacenter but i will still have a higher delay. I really liked international Server since they released FFXI but i prefer a Server where I dont have an disadvantage.
