In FFXI i played with NA mostly and hell i was pissed 4 days a week when i watched them start NNE, Dynamis and all that other stuff 15 minutes before i had to log. Made me quit cause i dont pay for a "Massive Multiplayer Online Game" to play it on my own.

THAT is the point.

Finaly there is a higher chance for the EU gamers to play with other EU gamers. One of the main reasons i came back after i quit in v.1.
That's why they should have removed this JP/EU/NA nonsense completely.

Just one list of server - choose whichever you want.

Of course the various communities out there would have chosen "unofficial (insert country here) server" so some unbalance was going to happen anyway, but still that would have allowed every server, more or less, to have people from all timezones.
