Restriction game region lock servers?

[Geographer]

Because JP, NA and EU are the only regions in the world. Where the hell is everyone else gonna go?

You're on Ragnarok? .

I assumed that legacy servers would be full so rolled on a non-legacy for no server queues 'lol' so went to Moogle during beta phase 4 and well that back fired on me. Non-legacy are just as busy, if fact I'd say the same as legacy servers. There just aren't enough servers for the sheer amount of people and SE had NO servers ready to be brought online if needed. Poor planning on SE's part and this is their second (third if you count 1.0 and 2.0 as seperate) MMO launch and they have experiences of all other MMO launches from other companies too.

One of those posts for which I wish I could "dislike" the OP.

This is what destroyed Final fantasy XI in the 1st place didn't have many EU players MOST of them were NA or JP players....
and I still think they have low amount of EU players here still...

They have copied the idea from (guild war 2 FATE IDEA) I'm sure they can copy WoW idea for Servers.

I don't even...... um... yeah *pats Jediman on the head* It'll all be OK, don't worry, I'm sure SE are going to listen and stop those the big bad NA and JP players from wrecking your server *nods* mmhmm

They have copied the idea from (guild war 2 FATE IDEA [who copied it off Warhammer online]) I'm sure they can copy WoW idea for Servers [Who most probably copied it off someone else too].

Servers are fine, i'm finding plenty of people to play along with as an EU player during EU times, even to the point were some character models aren't even loading during fates.

Please, don't necro this. As far as the discussion, region-locking is really not something I'd go for. The reason why I said this is, what if an NA/EU person went to go study in Japan? Would you deny them playing with their friends in between classes and sightseeing? I did this this past summer, and the stressball that is studying abroad was eased by being able to play with my friends. Thing is, over there you can't access regular hulu, crunchyroll, or even google without it auto switching to the Japanese site (or not being available at all). So, yeah, region/IP locking? Not a good idea.

If you wanna go as far back as possible, the basis for FATEs can be traced back to Ring Events from EQ1, which I'm positive ripped it off from some other game. That means the system is over 13 yrs old.
