sorry if you read this before but copy and pasting since someone made a seperate thread for it.

My main concern is Economy. If all of japan goes to japanese server, who will make all my endgame items? :P Will the game cater to people who work 3rd shift? Majorly the population differences during certain times of the day/night when i need someone to repair my gear? Finding parties at off hours? I play with a Portuguese ls and an English ls. I don't speak Portuguese one bit, but we could still manage to do darkhold together. Having a world where people from all over log on enhances the chance of finding people to do content with, whenever you log on. I also have a feeling if they offer segregated worlds, the global worlds will become empty. and some of the races that do play don't have a strong enough following for their own world to be sustainable successfully (i.e i don't see alot of french or german players.) You are going to spread your player base thin, and will become even harder to find people to do content with. Hence will i be forced to go to a regional server even though i don't want to, just to find a player base? And i will really miss the multi-cultural experience that i have come to expect and love from ff mmo's. If the jap don't want to play with me fine. but at least allow them to fill my ah with goods.
