What are the Japanese Players saying about this on their forums?

Presumably they're very, very happy, since they'll get their 'JP Only' servers they complained loudly about losing in '04 when the NA version of XI was released.

Seems to me this is entirely what this is about. XI has run fine for a decade for NA and EU players with the servers physically in Japan, and in the over two years I've been playing XIV I've rarely if ever noticed 'lag' caused by the servers being in Japan, so this isn't about performance at all.

Must be a well hidden thread about "their" happiness on the issue. There exists no thread containing every JP players thoughts and feelings nor every NA players thoughts and feelings nor every EU players thoughts and feelings nor 100% of anyones thoughts and feelings.

If you know of one, please link it.

I didn't see anyone speaking in such absolutes.

We already have Global servers. YOU ARE PLAYING ON THEM RIGHT NOW.

I suppose I'll add my disapproval of this system, though I'll be staying on Durandal regardless if it becomes a JP primary world or not.

The way I see it, if people are prompted to choose a server upon their first 2.0 login, then people will choose their nearest data center server.

If not prompted, a fair number of people won't be arsed to go through the process of changing data center servers.

Presumably they're very, very happy, since they'll get their 'JP Only' servers they complained loudly about losing in '04 when the NA version of XI was released.

Are you really that narrow minded?

They should seriously consider creating a global server and a few regional(s), based off a poll or early server choice for 1.0 players they can decide which types of servers need more of.

Some might say "the JPN server was the global server, just pick that one" and yes while that used to be true its not true anymore. The server would have to be named global - to signify its purpose.

I assume you would only need a small number of global servers since LS will likely move to their own regional (majority or LS leader regional).
