I have to give thumbs up if they roll region specific. Its no different then on 11. Ya sure you get the one linkshell out of 500 that has mixed NA/JP players, or that rare party you invite a jp and they say yes, or your seeking and they ask YOU only because there is absolutely nothing else to grab for their party.

In the end if there were region locked, we could play at more hours anytime because the server would have say 2000 NA online at 2am on the same server, opening up party invites etc instead of having 1000 NA here, then 1000 NA on a different server, and 1000 jp on one and 1000 on the other to equal the 2000 players online............

We have "moments" with other regions, we do not play with them, there is a difference.

BTW there is a very old video on youtube in FFXI where a JP GM was accusing an NA player for being racist for having NA ONLY in his party comment, yet the JP player reporting it had JP only in theirs.............. talk about crap. (Actually it was something similar but not exactly that above). At any rate, its to distinguish LANGUAGE type, not actual race. If a russian grows up in tokyo, what comment do you think youll see in his party search ?? I guarantee JP only. Language , not race. And if you find that video I'm talking about , that GM can go to ****. That was really messed up. I think he got jailed too, it was along time ago since I saw it lol.

I highly disagree that "all players from" X nation (pick whichever) refused to play with players from NA. I regularly played with mixed groups, often with several languages in the group. Sometimes I was the only non Japanese member, sometimes the only non French member, etc. It didn't matter - the auto translate feature, when used properly, provides plenty of partying communication. A little effort to play your job well and use that great feature was all that was needed.

The so called rampant use of "JP only" in search comments - I never once saw and I played FFXI from when CoP was new until Abyssea came out. It may have happened, but it was far more rare than people claim it was. There are plenty of jerks on the NA side too who would refuse to party with someone who didn't speak their language - there are jerks and there are nice players no matter where you come from or which language you speak.

I am sure that some players felt they were excluded, but please don't speak for everyone. One of the biggest draws to me about FFXI was how worldwide the popular was. My server had a very large Japanese, NA, and EU mix and as a result I became friends with people from all around the world. I also could play at any time of day or night because there were people awake and playing any time I happened to have time to play. I did not experience the sort of things so many of you are claiming happened "all the time."

In contrast, when I played WoW, where my server was all NA, if I wanted to play during the day it was solo or nothing. It restricted me to playing with groups at only the peak hours or on weekends, which is typically when I can't play, based on my schedule. I really dislike the concept of region specific servers. I will absolutely choose a world server.

nuuuuuuuuu
So unhappy about language specific servers ;_;

I like the srever not being empty when I log in in the morning :<

But uhuh if JP rly want it that much - fine - but dont separate EU from NA!

If there's even one international server offered, I'm joining that one, and I'll hope you'll join me.

I fully agree, my friend. Playing in an international server is the best way to enjoy FF14 or any other MMO. I really dislike the idea of making country sided servers.

[Zenaku]

If the NA servers are not Within NA and there in JP then there no point of even adding a NA / JP only servers the ping would be the same and that the only reason why people would even join a NA for low Ping.

SE if you not going to put the NA servers in NA then don't even do it we like playing with others even if the JP players don't like to playing with us then that fine by me but not seeing them would make me sad there a few JP players who enjoy playing with us and i have a few in my linkshell and i help them out. But making a JP / NA and so on servers would make them leave to join with there friend and we wont see much JP players

Answer: Neither. Early 2013, when 2.0 will go live (unless you want to count closed beta, which would be before). You'll have a chance to change your character's appearance.

PS: Why are people sad about AH? Also: It's not AH. You'll be able to buy directly from Item Search Counter, is what I read from Yoshi.
