Nahh, hablaba en coña, es por lo de que no para de taladrar con lo mismo una y otra vez :p

I must say this temporary tag thing is a big issue for me. V2 is when there will be a large increase in players, if it's just going to turn into another international server with EU spread everywhere then I'll be no better off on Ragnarok. Even when XIV was released and had a lot of players there still wasn't an EU linkshell on Wutai so spreading the EU population thin again at V2 doesn't give me much hope.

On the other hand if I moved to a completely different server and joined an EU linkshell there I'd be totally screwed if the linkshell died because all new EU players would be going to Ragnarok. People quit over time so one could assume such linkshells will become more international over time until there's not enough EU players left to schedule events in EU prime time.

The whole thing is a mess. It's tempting to just stop playing until V2 and see what the situation is.

Back in FF11, i was in an EU linkshell with a mix of Fr/De/Uk and some NA people. Everyone was speaking english. We were able to accomplish endgame content without a problem.

The purpose of this server is not to have french LS on one side and german ls on another side.

Im french and i will maybe have a social LS with french speaking only, but for doing endgame, i expect to be on a EU ls with people from all over the globe, and of course we will all speak english.

I think people will speak what the majority of their LS speak. I mean if you joined an LS dominated by Japanese players would you expect them to speak English (or French) or would you accept that you're the minority and they should expect you to have an understanding of Japanese?

Ideally you'd get a mixed EU LS with everyone speaking a common language (English) but you're likely to get the population dividing themselves into native language LSs when there's enough to do so, even for end-game events. If 90% of a linkshell is French I could never join it and expect them to speak English, it wouldn't be right. Similarly you wouldn't join an LS with 90% UK players and expect them to speak French. If it was closer to 50% then fair enough it could go either way. I've heard of German, Spanish, French LSs moving to Ragnarok but not any mixed LSs.

I'm not sure I would want to. The time involved to run a top LS is huge and I'd want it to be the best. I'd lose interest if it didn't attract enough people with that mindset.

the concern i have about this world is that loads of french, spanish players will go over to it, but as english speaking uk player there may not be as many english speaking players at the moment that go to this world, i wondering if it be better to go here or to stay on current world which will merge into new one

This is a worry, I don't know why SE didn't do an offical poll asking if players would be interested in an EU server and giving us detailed results to show what the population would be like.

If the server fails its because SE didn't do their homework.

Dunno, not sure to stay on my server (love my ls) or to move more EU based.. hard choice, not knowing if it will improve playability either..

practically 80% of EU players can speak english, not only UK

Temporary tag is a good thing. Why should the rest of us who don't want to go be punished for it in the long with never seeing an influx of new EU players.
