They aren't segregating anyone, people can chose to segregate themselves yes. Anyone can pick any regions server. Wish you people would stop complaining about this. Why is it so hard to get talk to your friends and say we are going to play on this server. It will be the same in terms of lag just like how it is now to the people who are out of region. If playing with your friend is that important you can deal with the lag because if they left it as it is then you still have the lag.

This is where logic comes in.

Say you've made 15-30 friends that you play with on your server. They are in NA, Europe, and Japan, along with other places that might be closer to regions outside of your own.

Those people also have friends, most of which probably closer to their own area.

So I'm just gonna say "ok guys all of you have to come to my North American server"? Even if we were to take the time to see how many of who is closer to what (which would take forever), we'd also have to take into consideration their friends from OTHER servers that want to come play with them (and friends that haven't played the game yet but want to).

Why they didn't just keep the same sort of server structure is beyond me. It's hard enough getting people to choose one server exactly how it is now, let alone with this new shit.
