Why exactly do you bother having separate threads/posters for things when they are both in English, on the same area of the forum, and they are the exact same post? If anything it should just have a tag at the front like you have on every post anyways with [NA] or [EU] at the start if its region specific and use a single user for it, but as for how it is now, it seems pointless...

My guess is for proper localization, i.e. NOC_EU will have British spellings.

Timezones.
Indeed, but it would be less time consuming for them to just write the GMT time in brackets after the PST time. I mean the NA ones don't post times in central and eastern as well, anyway!

This does take place, but I think 99.9 % of us Brits can work out what 'apologize' means, even though it's not how we spell it lol.

Only difference is this line...

Maybe its just me but this seems like a royal waste of their time to double post this information...
