So I'm gonna second Jynx on this one

And why both couldn't be compatible? We could have NA server and International servers. Then YOU decide which one you want. But then if you notice that the INT server have no JP player on it for example, then maybe it means that while YOU wanted diversity, others did not?

It's nice to say "I want diversity" but what about the rest of the community?

As for the time argument like "I want to be able to play at any time", the average player working 9 to 5 couldn't care less about being able to play at any time. There is really a minority of players who need that. It works fine in other games, I played on regional servers for over 10 years now in different games, never had much issue, sure when I decide to pull an all-nighter the server will be rather empty during 2am~8am, but that's rare. (and it can be pleasant too, free EXP camp etc :d)

Had issues on XI, because being in EU on a server where the EU community was small, was really hard. Had to Salvage at 2am etc. I would often sleep after going back home to be able to wake up in the middle of the night and attend events at NA time. Luckily I had events like Dynamis during EU prime.

Personally I like choice over anything. If players can be given the choice between International/Regional, then I am all for it. If it's regional only, then no. I would rather stick to International and have only "recommended server" like we do have now for Ragnarok.

You like diversity? Then start liking different opinions of people who surrounds you may have, rather than stick to one choice, open up to multiple choices.
