    It just provides direction for the masses. Doesn't force you to choose that server.

    Timezone != segregation. You'd be narrow-minded to think that way.

    It's much better to have an active primetime than anything else imo. Linkshells with vastly mixed languaes are by far in the minority. Plus they were alotted a server in my outline above anyway

    While it is good to have people online at the same time to allow us to group and do things easily, the problem is, lets say my linkshell which is multicultural decides to move to a server unofficially designated EST whether purpously or due to ignorance doesnt matter, in order for me living in the UK to stay with them I will have to live by the night and sleep during the day because on an american server EU primetimes will be dead, and dont say they wont, when I started playing DCUO I origanally chose the US server (because of friends) and when I played it was completly dead I saw maybe 1 other person.

    The issue here is that you need to get this out to every player in FFXIV or people will rage because the majority of people saw it and they have no one to play with because they dont play in the timezone you chose for thier server.

    People ARE narrow-minded sometimes.

    I think it's harmful to give an official timezone label to the zones. That said, if people want to make unofficial designations, then that's fine; it's not like they'd be outside of their rights to do so.

    The timezone thing is 'good' in theory but it practice would just cause WAY more problems than it is worth. The sheer amount of people who'd be online and active and trying to do the same things at the same time would just force less people to actually be able to populate the server than if it were open to all timezones. This doesn't even get into the whole timezones=localization and loss of playing with other cultures thing.

    Right now, my server stays 'busy' because it has an NA peak time/ JA peak time/ EU peak time. Usually when one group is logging out, the other is logging in. This allows 3 times the amount of people to play on a server without huge lag or over-camping issues. (not that we have anything to camp but you get the idea)


    I like the thought though....I mean the whole 'as a community we could organize ourselves instead of 'grumble,grumble' over this'

    World #1 will likely see Japanese players from Cornelia.

    World #8 is being googly eyed by Besaid. Nothing is set. I do appreciate ze efforts and agree, as a community, we should organize, not just for ourselves, but for future players.

    Yeah, this idea won't work. If you group up everybody based on time zone, you'll have huge times when nobody will be on.

    It's thoughts like this which hold the organizing efforts back. Are you so blind that you cannot see how silly a comment such as this is? Perhaps give some thought before posting next time.

    Hint: it doesn't matter that there are times when there's less people on because the vast majority of players are in the same time zone and understood that going in..... /facepalm

    This idea will inevitably get rejected because it isn't how things were done in FFXI. That is really sad.
