Why no regional servers?

FF is more about the journey and interesting people you meet along the way. It requires attention and dedication.
WoW is more about keeping it easy going, giving easy and instant gratification. Its pretty much like comparing house m.d. to american idol.

exactly WoW is a button with "oo shinies" on it, that people press to be instantly gratified by crap, because they aren't very intelligent.

I don't really care about opinions or comparisons on actual gameplay between WoW and FF11. This was an argument for or against regional servers. By and large, WoW the most successful MMO does have regional servers. I'm sure if the majority wanted to be all clumped on one server they would have.

I doubt the majority of the population speaks 3+ languages. Most stick to their own communities regardless. I don't really have a preference doing basic exp groups, but anything that took more communication such as missions I always went with people I could speak with instantly and not use the translator. If they follow the western style of dungeon instancing with bosses and the like, you're going to see this again.

Who cares about WoW in this forum?

Because unlike some of you xenophobic people, we like having interaction with different cultures.

While I can appreciate the sentiment, I would rather not have lag. And anyway, interacting with other cultures through an MMO kind of defeats the point.

The lag is insignificant. This isn't a FFS or a PvP-oriented game. You don't need to save yourself those few precious frames.

I would love to see European Servers for the simple fact of time difference, most of my LS are from NA and doing leves is a pain for me to say the least.

I love Japanese culture and all but I don't have any urge to play with them and I'm sure they don't me.

SE obviously think there is something special about it though even though the majority of JP players hate us lol, "JP onry"

[zaviermhigo]

Only some JPs are jp onry, in XI I partied a lot with JPs, after a while they knew Americans were breaking XP. They are known for being somewhat xenophobic, but generalizing people is crazy.

Yes I had some nice experiences with JP players in 11, but I still don't think it would have made much of a difference in the grand scheme of things, the only time I party with JP players in this game is behest and nobody really talks in behest anyway.

BTW there is a thread over on the Japanese forum about this very same subject and the majority of them want regional servers, because they believe westerners to be rude and greedy. (oddly I think the same thing, so they aren't wrong)

I'm following that thread, and the it is a vocal minority that really wants regional servers. Most people are in favor of playing with people from other countries despite the language barriers and occasional problems.
