Why no regional servers?

You still don't get it. I don't care if you're a foreigner. I care about the fact for complex situations like raids or group missions, they require more communication than what the translator can provide. To suggest "go learn a new language" to play a game is ludicrous. When you put all players of different languages into one server, you're effectively limiting the pool of players you can interact with in these kind of situations.

From Abriael post I got it was like, "a person learning another language...can find friends from another country...and practice the language they are speaking...while playing a video game they like to play." I do this. If there were regional servers it'd take away to chat with French/Quebecois people, and I would not get to practice French as often as I regularly do. It's awesome when a game has that. You can't hate on people for being more educated and worldly, you can hate on someone because they want to talk to people from other countries to improve a language they already started learning on their own, these are all good goals, to not like these are counterproductive. You don't have to learn another language, but if this game came out this way, and people use these functions, and this is a status quo for SE (FFXI), then deal with it.

plus half the reason JPs don't want to play with us is true, most western mmo players are greedy and immature.
