I also still think they should consider splitting up servers: the americas, europe and australia, and asia.
Don't think that's a good idea. First of all because I like how FFXI brings many different cultures together. And secondly just because it won't be right, and in the best case the only ones who will come out good out of it will be the NA.
European servers will be in a dead man's land, as FFXI was never received well here and European players are therefore very few, building a party isn't gonna be fun when there are only 2 people withinin your level range subscribed to the game. Plus it's not fun when your in a world where the Frenchies and Germans dominate in terms of language and most will not even bother trying to speak English, that's what I learned from my experience in the European servers in GW.
And leaving the JP and the honest Chinese and HK to deal with the gilsellers isn't gonna be fair either.
Not to mention it would just break too many friendships, I'm sure that a lot of you NA's have EU/JP friends and wouldn't want to be torn apart from eachother by a server split.
Yeah, this would really suck because I live in Japan. I played the game before it was released in NA and it WAS NOT FUN. I did have an LS but only 2 members tried to speak English to me regularly, others could but just never tried unless they needed help. I ended up quitting and made a new account when it was released in NA. I spoke enough Japanese to get by but the influx of English players was awesome and made the game 1000% better for me. I really don't want to go back to being the only NA on the server, lol. :-(
As for something I would like to see added, new jobs and maybe more soloable quests that grant you exp. as a reward...
