Not everyone is american.

Hello everyone,

I am really sorry to hear that some of you have issues when trying to access the English (UK) version of the Lodestone. I have forwarded this issue to make sure that all countries listed under the "Europe" region on the Square Enix Account management website display the UK version of the Lodestone, so announcements related to billing will be displayed in EUR or GBP, timezone will also be set to GMT by default.

Thank you again for reporting this issue to us!

This is truly a glorious day. My voice has been finally heard.

No need to be greedy, the voice of the community has been heard ;D

Why should I have to change the language of my browser?

I'm the customer here. It's like telling people to change their router settings so our updater actually works. That's not what I call providing professional service.

Well basically it can happen that you have to change your Router-Setting to make the updater work. It takes just a couple seconds to change the language and has really nothing to do with Customerservice imo. But as you see, they heard you and it will get fixed.

You're missing the point entirely though. What he's saying is that it doesn't matter how easy or hard it is, the point is that it's not something you should have to do.

Using a Swedish browser, both Firefox and IE, has done nothing for me the past year. My times on Lodestone continue to be in PST, even though I changed my time zone to GMT, and of course, the billing page is in dollars and not in euro.

The problem is, rather, that anyone outside GR, FR or UK is lumped into the "American" category and thrown to the US Lodestone page.

Please fix this already SE.

It's not the SE that is at fault here, but your browser settings. Go to your browser options and set your preferred display language to English (UK) instead of English (US). Reload lodestone and you get the UK/EU version.

For Chrome that would be options -> under the hood -> language and spell-checking options

Why should I have to change the language of my browser?

Maybe... just maybe... because SE was smart enough to code their page to get you the info that applies in your region? And the only way they can see which region you are from is .... your preferred website language?

Wouldn't that be considered amnesty? Some politicians would want your head on a platter for that!

My preferred display language is my first language, which isn't English, nor any other language found outside Europe. Yet using that as the default language results in the Lodestone loading the US version.

It's SE's fault and I should not need to do anything to create a workaround.

Again, my preferred website language has nothing to do with the United States, nor the North American region.
