Hi Reika,

I've been following the Japanese thread as well but haven't posted there yet.

I do think that the problems people have stated are more of the exception than the norm, but they tend to get amplified on internet forums.

The thing that concerns me most is the feeling that some English speaking players are 独善 (self righteous) which is also not true much of the time.

On Saronia there have been a few isolated "incidents" that I know of, but for the most part I think people are pretty good about playing with people from other countries and across language barriers.

I wish my Japanese was good enough to read it (I'm only N5).

As an American, I can say that by Japanese standards (and admittingly a lot of the world) American culture is rude. Most Americans will try to be polite culturally though, and if they know what they should do to show politeness, they will. There are, however, a good deal of gamers who are very rude even by American standards. I'm a little concerned when this game gets mainstream... I want the community here to stay nice like this.

when you say foreign... do you mean English? Any time I've been talked to by an RMT.. its been in broken English. I think its because English is the most common used language.

In my experience, RMT's are definitely not English native. It's too bad they're giving us a bad reputation from it...
