your argument to support global server only (5 languages it is) is weak.
It would seem that some people just like to stare at Japanese/French/German ( And English for those that don't know English) text instead of playing the game. In an MMO world, a person needs to be able to communicate with the people your joining up with or else you can end up killing your party from this "Language Barrier". My main problem with Multi-Cultural gaming is that you can't really communicate effectively, sometimes even with the Auto-Translate.

It helps greatly when you know people within your language to communicate with you. Don't get me wrong, they are fun to play with and Multi-Cultural parties when you can get the communication a crossed, but sometimes you spend more time just trying to get the goal of the mission down through Multi Languages.

Also, add in the fact that everyone will have different Latency's, It can make things very difficult ( even for 1-2 second delay over someone) can really make a huge difference when claiming something, or if someone is in Critical health and your cure didn't get there in time, even though you put the input in 2 seconds ago.

Battling Latency doesn't equal skill, it's just plain annoying to deal with and can make play experience frustrating.

The only one's that would benefit from a Global server are the one's near those servers ( in this case is Japanese).
