The real question would be, "Are they looking forward to playing with you?"

From what I understand, the majority of Japanese players hated the idea of international servers in XI. Square-Enix, played it off and gushed about how amazingly well the servers brought people together. One surefire way to help bring people together without a content-finder would just be to separate servers by time-zone, that way peak times become irrelevant and more people can enjoy content.
