Yoshida-san - GLOBAL Servers and Balancing Tweaks Instead of Regional Servers

[Antipika]

Have other countries shown interest in global servers?
I think in order for them to even consider this there would need to be a demand from more than just NA.

Otherwise you just have a bunch of english speakin folk on a server somewhere overseas.

That's what people here don't understand.

Unless both Japan and NA massively ask for it, it won't happen. As for EU, it doesn't matter, because EU players can easily play with NA people on a NA hosted World, latency wouldn't as bad as with a server located in Japan, there wouldn't be any language barrier either (most of EU players speaks EN).

So NA players wanting to play with everyone is one thing but does JP players wants to play with them?

"As for EU it doesnt matter"??????
Wanna know something? EU has quite a bit more lag than NA have, im looking forward to choose an european server and be able to play with less lag, even a 10% decrease of lag would mean extremely much. So dont say european people dont care, saying only your opinion counts also is a bit dumb.

Yes, i can speak english, but that doesnt mean i want to be up till 4 am every day to be able to play with people (thats the way it is now), also, with the lag it takes having server in japan, having server in NA actually gives more lag, as american servers often has higher ping than japanese ones when i play. (America is a big island, japan is at the end of the "same" island as europe.)
