    dear sirs:
    your game is the best rpg this gen'ration and the next. not competent, is additive, the content is great and i enjoyeth a lot playing thank thou.
    That's not Old English... that's, like, bad Puritan-American. :/

    Old English example (minus actual orthography):
    Cnut cyning gret his arcebiscopas and his leod-biscopas and Þurcyl eorl and ealle his eorlas and ealne his þeodscype, twelfhynde and twyhynde, gehadode and læwede, on Englalande freondlice

    Silliness aside, yes, I feel Spanish should be available for the game. This has also been discussed many times before. Here's hoping!

    It was actually from a Shakespearean translator.

    Shakespeare is not even Middle English, lol. Old English is hardly like English today at all.

    Edit: Someone beat me to it (and yes it resembles some English but it's vastly different.

    But this is already an in-game option, double check that your chat tabs are active. :3

    I would actually prefer if everything was written in Old English prose. It would beat the weird mix of American English and "must needs" that we currently have...

    Also, it's frankly bizarre that SE chose to translate the game into French and German rather than the second-most widely spoken language in the world.

    Yeah, that stilted English is annoying. >< (and now I want a game fully in OE with subtitles [or not... :3 ] )

    I think... German had to be included due to some commerce laws right? But (we've talked about this many times on other 'please add Spanish' threads), I don't understand why Spanish wasn't included. That makes NO sense at all to me. :/
