I am not into regional server/worlds. My linkshell has people in it from all around the globe and I love that! I love looking at ls chat and seeing ~french~ even though I barely understand any of it. We just had several people from Spain join also so that helps me with remembering the Spanish I learned in grade school I love hearing about their cultures as well.
If I was stuck playing only with NA.... I don't even want to have to imagine that. Plus my "prime" play time isn't standard "NA" times. Its more like EU. I doubt SE would ever force regional servers on us, but if they did that would probably be the day I quit.

I wouldn't be opposed to this idea:

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.
