Servers for each Region

[Seirra_Lanzce]

Yes Regional Servers are indeed coming, but only for the newbies.... the old server we have are here to stay as bilingual/international servers

[carlosx]

NO....

they cant make Servers for time zones, or they will spend half day empy and only used on Time/zone prime time lol

just imagine a mental picture a server at 8am /search.... 8 people found on all areas....

HI,

I don't know if this will ever happen or not but i'd like to see server grouped by Region. Servers for NA, Europe and Japan/Asia. I have nothing against other nations and it's people or language. But having so many different time zones jammed into the same server is not good. Makes it hard to schedule stuff with your team mates.

Most of the time NA and Japanese people stick with their own groups. Why waste space on a server if you have X % of people who are not willing to play with you or that can't even understand you when you talk?


Wouldn't it be easier if everyone in your server was from NA times zones, spoke english and you could interact with 100% of the server population? It would make grouping a lot easier.

It would be nice, but they speicifically created the game this way to allow people all over the world to play together. And I actually like that.

LOL *watches as the forum flips out*

Oh yea I love playing with JP players .. not that I ever do .. or that I can understand them ... but it sure is cool. /sarcasm

I'm all for regional servers (ie US servers in the US and EU servers in the EU)
I'm against language based servers being hosted from Japan though. (this doesn't solve anything and is pretty much what Ragnarok is)

Jinko Jinko... i know damn well you know theres JP players who can communicate in english and other languanges at that. you also know that players manage to get various content done with international, mixed language PUGs. and im sure you know that frienships are made despite
language barriers. you made no point, your sarcasm was... well lets just say theres other types of language barriers because that looked like gibberish to me.

i support having options, mmo's are in large part about communication. having said that i hope most of us feel its worth the language barrier challenge and choose international servers, i look foward to meeting & playing with a diversity of players, its damn well worth the CONS.

so jinko, what was the point of this quote then? particularly this part ^ "or that i can understand them" do you understand my point now?
theres several interpretations to that quote 1. just being mentally lazy so you pulled it out of your ass 2, just another ignorant point to add to the list of this forum 3. you went to jail in japan, /drop soap j/k j/k 4. your social skills just suck? youre ashamed of dreams of running around in power ranger spandex? joke... so yeah, you did say you cant communicate with japanese players, wich was a lazy (and open to other interpretations) way to say the obvious, a language barrier exists. but resourceful players get past it.

having said all that, i hate the thought of segregated servers based on languange/ time zone, but i support choice, theres many legit reasons besides language, i wont step into that vipers nest , unless it rears its ugly head, if it does i have no problem smashing it.

If I have to explain sarcasm to you .. well I'm not even guna bother.

We've definitely played a different FFXI. Did you fight Provenance Watcher? Lol slow paced. The only "slow paced" bosses were the original rank missions bosses, every expansion the bosses were a lot more active to the point you had to be on your toes.

By the way, FFXI being "slow paced" still had nothing to do with the servers being in Japan, because those servers were a hell of a lot more optimized than XIV's.

Ironically, you say you belittle no one's opinions..yet as usual, you do whenever XI is mentioned.

Yea its getting a little boring having to address you every time I say something about FFXI, time to grow a thicker skin Elexia, because when I say something about FFXI its actually not directed at you. /clicks ignore

[Fionlagh]

Hrmm, the sarcasm card, unexpected. sarcasm is often used to make a point, it was ridiculously obvious to see yours in it.
its cool though, we both made our points of view known , no reason for me to continue the convo.

easy on 2.0:

Step 1: Our actual servers stay as International Servers.
Step 2: Open 3 new servers per region.
Step 3: Allow people to transfer to new regional servers.
Step 4: Free access for people to choose between go an international server (old ones) or to go regional servers (new ones)

People who want to play with international friends will be happy with our actual servers, and people who want regional servers will be happy too.

Would be really nice to maybe go back and forth. If your soloing or something that needs low latency scoot to Gungnir US (in my case) Want to join back up with your world wide bothers and sisters, zip back to Gungnir International. If you could go back and forth prettymuch on demand it could be a really awesome feature!

Part of what i loved about Eve-Online was the single server/international community. I love meeting people from around the world. (theres couches with my name on it if i need one in atleast 5 countries)

Having options for international play and latency optimization on demand would be really awesome
