World Indicator

Not sure what you mean by that. The game comes in Japanese, English, Deutsch, and Français (which the auto-translate feature fully supports).

As for the suggestion itself, I wouldn't mind if there was additional, optional settings to show one's locale or/and nationality more clearly, but I would not want it to be forced upon users.

I don't see it needed, and can easily see users discriminating others due to their nationality. It does happen even now. If I want to know where another player is from, I shall ask them. Makes it more fun, and gives more to talk about (perhaps not all the time, but ehh).

So yeah. It's an okay idea, but I'd say no. Maybe yes for some optional settings, but personally I'd probably not put the effort into implementing it. I'd likely much rather work on implementing Japanese input method support for the non-Japanese clients with the GUI revamps.

Ha! One can hope.


By the by, yer missing some h action over there, in your Japanese. ^^;

Meaning people won't assume they are arguing with a Jp player when in fact it was someone from Thailand. Or Assume that French player was RMT because he did not know how to communicate with you.

Or Chinese player not responding to tells leading someone to think it was a JP player ignoring you.

I've even misunderstood certain players trying to figure out what nationality they are. And yes certain cultures respond differently.

I just wish it was easier to tell which nation a person is from before making wrong assumptions.

I believe China and Korea uses JP client.

I don't see discrimination being hardcore as you guys make it out to be since we know Olympics are held in different nations. Beijing in my opinion was the best I've ever seen. Really made the world see China differently.

Everything could have a bad side regardless, but I haven't seen anyone mention the good side of it.

I rember when I was a kid, our teacher did a penpal event. One person I chose to write to was from Poland. It was amazing learning about a person from another part of the world.

Maybe I'm just too open minded in wanting to know the world and people from different cultures.
