JP Only

[Spellbinder]

I think enough points have been made for having regional servers so it's clear racism is not why we would like it.

Going "OMG RACIST" is a cheap shot, very FOX News.

I think open regional servers are the way to go, people can always play in a JP server if they like it.

I still don't think splitting the community up into separate boxes is going to solve anything. People can already separate themselves if they want to.

The community is already split in many boxes.

At least splitting it by regions has the benefit of having more people speaking the same language and lower latency.

One. Assuming they do create new servers, they're still going to be in Japan so I don't see how that improves latency.

Two. How does taking a big group of people and splitting them into smaller groups create more people to speak the same language?

Are you insane?

Dude if you take all the English speakers from all 8 servers and put them in one server and all the JP speakers and add them to one server it is MORE PEOPLE TO PLAY WITH ON A SINGLE SERVER.

Why would SE take people out and not give everyone the chance to go to the server they just added?

This exactly. I have no idea why there are still people crying about JP/EN/FR/etc only parties.. If you want to PT with them so bad... learn some of the language.. and if not, then go PT w/ someone else. Players with apparently low self-esteem who rage over not getting into a party where ppl don't even speak your languague are just a lost cause. SE has already stated that they will keep the international servers, so those of us who CAN play nicely with other people in different languages will still be able to just as we do now. Whenever they get around to offering regional (or simply language specific) servers, those who can't handle a simple culture shock are free to scurry into their own dead servers. Good luck with that.
