Scorch please this time split servers into regionals if one gets too crowded... dont start with several servers.

I know I know you aim for this version to be more successfull but I think you very well know what Im after. The EU and US split was one of the worst things that happened to the game. Im aware that it was a necesity at the time but from a community perspective it was horrible.

I back king and Tex on this issue (not that it matters, just showing support). While I barely speak an understandable version of my milk language (English), I know even less of any other language. I think the majority of stuff should be in English (because I can't speak German, French, Spanish or much of anything else), but I also think we need to help and support anyone else who wants to play. If there is a need for a tutorial in German or any other non-English language, then I think the effort should be made to support it.

I don't know bunny rabbits from servers; how big, how many or where located but I don't want to see anyone forced out either or the server split up once more.

That being said, it also would be cool to have the ability to fly with people all over the world as well, meaning perhaps local servers is a bad idea.

So the short answer is, we don't know whats going to happen at release yet with other territories but once we know more we'll certainly pass that along.

I don't know what more NetDevil can say than this to indicate they are not going to forget their fans in Germany. I'm sure they will get it done when it needs to get done.

I can usually understand spoken German since my Mom is from there, I just can't read or speak it.

I was born in Germany, achem, well....*West Germany, in 1970, so when I moved to the states I did not speak one word of English. Nor was I warned of the wonderful humidity near the Gulf Coast. I hated it here...but I was too young to do anything about it.

After....too many years, I'm kinda stuck on living here. English did not take that long to learn, for any of us in the family. I was speaking fluently by the end of my first year in school, and now people can't even hear an accent at all from me...wether German or Southern. I just don't have one. I try not to.


I miss all my friends in Germany, but hopefully can fly with them in Evolution.


BTW @ Jump: I can still speak and understand enough German to get by, plus I can also read it and in an emergency...write it.

LOL, my cousins in Fulda tell me I speak it fluently when I am drunk. Of course, I have no recollection of such events.

Yay, think of the Germans! (I'm too!)
I agree to even a little german support.. Like the menus being german again, etc.. We had the whole UI in german..

Really? I didn't know that.

the eu client download was different in a few respects to the wws client, language options being one of them.

Yep, there was even an economy option.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Jump]

Oh yeah! Over here in the US we had the PIE option and the Ham Sandwich option.



I couldn't resist either.

Yeah, the EU experience is a lesson to the devs about the dangers of allowing the end-user to turn off critical aspects of the game...like the economy.



j/k, I think...
