Do you think regional servers will help?

[Elexia]

I do agree that local servers will break everyone up, but this is SE fault for not getting with the times an developing shar based servers. SE could essentially have one "server" broke up into to dozens of shards located locally. Eve does this, all of Cryptic's games do this, and many other MMOS do this to some extent.

Even XI does this somewhat.

I think it's a problem related about the game client on XIV, I played for 4 years or more FFXI and never got a issue with lag and i'm from Argentina, pretty much the opposite of Japan.

Even SE themselves said it was related to the client and server settings/hardware but people still cry to segregate everyone. (Even JP players are indifferent about it.)

There are some complaints but there are also a lot of happy people. Not that it's scientific, but a majority of players seem to be happy to trade a significant community of people that don't seem to want to play with them for an improvment of network performance.

As much as I like playing with foreign-language speaking players, it's a lot easier to get things accomplished when more people around you are willing to play with you and speak the same language. Then, on top of that, your pings are lower and game experience is smoother. It's easy to see why the yeas dominate the nays. In some ways, it's kind of sad, but since it does make it easier to enjoy the game, it's not all bad.

Not as massive as ours. In battles like Ifrit, if you're not standing on a crack, you don't get hit by it, unlike with most NA players getting hit by cracks even when they've run away and clearly aren't standing on it on their own screen.

It's not a matter of accepting it or not. What we're asking is will it make a real change?

IMO, yes it will help. But still, I would have liked to see how the new clients works with servers from Japan before saying if it is required or not.

Yes, this would have more sense, especially as 2.0 is said to improve many of the performance issues anyway. Perhaps we can all convince SE to postpone the actual implementation. Unlikely I know, but maybe they might listen.

dont think it will matter there always a excuse to fake DC and say it was lag.

Maybe it will help me make a name for myself? Only NA person playing on a JP server? No other NA person is allowed to take this idea if i find another NA person JP side I will destroy you!!!!
