    A possible solution(?) for "segregating the community"

    I just had an idea, now I'm not against regional servers, especially not when you have the choice to pick any of them no matter where you live, but since some seem to be worried it will segregate the community how about this. Let's leave lag out of this and assume it will be no issue at all in 2.0, there is still one problem and that's my biggest problem, that there is no one to play with during my gaming hours since I live in EU and most of the people on my server seem to be NA/JP and it's not really fair to tell me to stay on that server if I have rarely have anyone to play with.

    So, how about if S-E put a % next to each server that shows how many % of the players are from NA, how many % are from JP and how many % are from EU? That way I will know, ok they are evenly split on this server compared to this one where JP is dominating. And if I want to be on a server with people from all over the world I will pick the server where it's even and those who want to play on a server where their region is dominating they can pick that one. Naming a server "international" as some have suggested is also an idea but since all the servers are international I think it might be a bit misleading, showing exactly how many % from each region is playing on a server makes it more clear and is in my opinion a better way to do it.

    What say you to that? Yay or nay?

    Edit: Before this thread gets huge (if it does) this is not a thread about what you think about regional servers/data centers, there are other threads for that. I just had an idea and mostly wanted the devs/community reps to see it and maybe consider it and for the people on this forum to say what they think about it.
