I loved the international servers in FFXI, the only thing I really appreciated about FFXI was the opportunity to connect with people all over the world, I like the way oriental people play, and I had much less difficulty getting a response from a Japanese person through autotranslate than I did with Americans speaking my language, that's not the point.

Latency sensitive abilities are what define actual action, and action is something big on the marketing scheme of Aion, If your going to have interrupts, intercepts, blocking, and other interactive skills which rely on latency, they need to have some reliable servers.

And guess what, buggy connections and poor ISPs are a norm, not an oddity, so you have to produce a game developed to cooperate with the norm of buggy connections, that way it will work for everyone, not just those who have access to ideal connections.
