Surely you mean Square-Enix, Soft hasn't been around since 2001. :P

Anyway I think we should keep the servers mixed, it adds more life into it, Regional servers will be a waste of resources during downtime (for example a EU server between 1am - 9am) + I like playing with other players I learned a lot about Japanese through FFXI and met some nice JP friends.
