World Merger Organization?

No Thanks...

I prefer multicultural servers, not segregated BS.

Absolutely!

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.

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.

[ShadowCadja]

there is no where say that. They only say 10 is for germany & french recommended not EU recommended

Actually in the french and german translation the tag is for European players, not only French and German, most likely another translation fail from the english part... =(

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.

Yes sorry, I just read english version of Lodestone and its quite different from french one. They said on our side that the 10th server is for european Timezone, not just french/german, but more particulary for them. So UK, Italy, Spain, whatever european country is welcome.

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.

[AngryNixon]

I had to think about this one for a minute.

No thank you.
