Holy hell. I think I found a solution to all of these nonsensical cries and unrealistic dreams for global servers!

Take all the regional servers, and simply name them all the same name!

"Hey Bob, what server do you play on?"
"I'm on Sargatanas, what about you?"
"No way! I'm on Sargatanas, too!"

Boom. No more "segregation".

Or, if that's not enough, we can move the servers to a brand-spanking-new data center in a global, latency-neutral area too: Mars. That way, nobody has an advantage anywhere because everybody will have a crap ping. You guys want everyone else to be miserable just so you can talk with friends? There ya go. Because, y'know, who in their right mind would ever use skype..? Or worse yet, compromise about which server to play on. Who has time for such boring, mature behaviour, right? *eyeroll*

Ooh! Plus, Square would be able to claim the title of "First Interplanetary Developer"! How awesome is that??!
