Data Centers/World Locations Info from the LIVE Letter

[Onizuka]

I had to read the first post multiple times to be sure I didn't misunderstand it.

By doing this “data centers” thing it's clear that most of the adventurers will choose the one closer to them, thus splitting the community.

I'm in Europe and just a while ago I defeated Garuda Hard for my very first time with a group of japanese friends and I was /happy of it. Then I read this...

I play most of the times with japanese adventurers, but I also know several from the Unites States, Europe and elsewhere, so...

This news reminds me of the original server merge idea, where everyone could choose their new server, therefore splitting the community. Then Yoshida-san realized it wasn't the best solution and luckily changed plans.

For A Realm Reborn I was hoping we would still be all together, not being separated by language (let's not be blind, because that's going to be the evident outcome).

Ifrit's Eruptions? The hells of it, I had a blast every time an adventurer blew up cursing the lag, and we would win anyway!

The dev team could create battles not dependant on lag, like the excellent one versus Nael van Darnus, but once again they decide to split the community... because that's what's gonna happen with these regional data centers.

I hope Yoshida-san will have once again the common sense to better think about this decision, like he did in the past with Server Merges...

Oh god, more tank&spank / static fight cuz the lag latency will not make possible to do more Ifrit style fights?

No thanks. We are almost in 2013.

Where the fuck do you live that it's 2013 already?
(Yes I can play the semantics card too, 3 months isn't "almost".)

and not to answer what i said about static encounters

I have nothing against static encounters because even dynamic encounters have a sense of "same ole same ole" about them eventually.

Then i feel sad for you, we are going to have a global standard (finally) ,
plus the game is going to be a bit more action oriented.

But you can still play XI if you want a dead slow game designed for 80yo + eh
