I’m gonna have macros in Esperanto, just to annoy the jimmies out of people. :slight_smile:

If they are even launching with three servers it would be less cruel to designate them GR/FR/EN and let people go from there. The current plan is just utter chaos.

Well in reality it’s probably 4.

But consider the last two tests had just one server. This one had like 14 before more than 75% of the servers closed and it went down to 2, then up to 4.

There’s some definite concern Blizz could do us all a dirty and release 2 PvP (due to the faction lock), 1 Normal, and 1 RP server per region and just say “deal with it.”

Especially now that they said they don’t intend to language-flag EU servers. Which really would be only like 5-6 flags. If there were double digit servers they could easily do it.

ESO has only 1 EU server. I’ve played on it and it’s majority English.
You see some other languages here and there but mostly English.

My people need me now. I have to go and defend the EU forums although it seems it’s hell in the thread, everyone is going crazy.

Being honest, maybe so. It’s been so long since i seriously played on American servers i can’t tell you.

Right but again. . This is something Blzz needs to address. Because people keep thinking them taking this test down to 2 servers is indicative of low turn out. When it could be heavy stressing the layering system and putting everyone on 2 servers.

But again, spitballing here

I’ve personally never encountered a person on an NA server that didn’t speak English and I’ve been playing since late Vanilla.

I know. I just want to underline that the price they save on mixing languages, they’ll loose on subs because people won’t stay in Classic if the community experience is similar to that of an international Pserver. I played on Pservers to do wPvP alone since Cataclysm as a casual and I won’t pay a sub for something similar.

I have seen chinese players in LFD plenty of times, I believe the system pulls players from other regions sometimes, maybe when player counts are low.

ESO has 2 mega servers. Actually made up of multiple servers but that’s beside the point. Part of me likes that model, but it does have the issue with sharding too.

True enough but i was more so talking about how people speaking different langue’s can mange as with cultures. Take some american states for example, or townships.

ESO’s EU server is like that. They will get used to it.

And I also speak English, french, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Finnish, Icelandic, Navajo, etc etc… see how easy it is to lie on the internet?

I doubt you even speak your native tongue fluently.

Wow, that is odd. . I have run across many times Spanish or Portuguese players in LFG groups.

We’re talking EU vs separate countries.

One EU server for all the romance language countries.
It works fine. You see languages in chat but it won’t impact you.
Why join a French guild if you can’t speak French ?

I’ve heard about running into Brazilian players who only speak Portugeese but it’s never occurred to me. Granted I don’t LFG much anymore.
