Not feeling comfortable on my current data centre Chaos(EU). Thinking of transfering.

The rule of thumb is that Chaos is the fench DC now, with Light being the german one - that being said, for both DCs the majority of people (around 75-80%, if memory servers right) has english at least picked as language option. So generally speaking you should be fine on both DCs.

On the Light-DC you have a chance of running into german speaking groups - it hasnt happend to me often, but it does happen. Depending on the server you pick the german population might be as high as around 30%, so need to be aware of that. As a general rule though: Germans are more likely to be at least willing to try to communicate in english, while the french have this special relationship to not wanting to speak anything but their own tongue. You can run into germans who are simply not able to communicate in english, though.

While I personally share your sentiment that we should all try to communicate in english - since thats the "universal" language the world more or less agreed on - I would like to point out that you WILL run in situations where people might not speak it, for example when the overwhelming majority of a group is way better at speaking german/french/any other language than english. While there is no need to be rude or snarky about it, I would urge you to get a thicker skin in that regard. Almost all duties can be completed without communication at all and while its ofc sad and in bad taste to leave one person out of conversations its often unconvenient aswell to type in a foreign language. People who dont have english as their first language might also be very anxious about getting stuff wrong and being laughed at - I know that I was. So they might just be as sensitive and nervous as you are!

Dont let occassions like those get to you - its usually not meant to exclude you personally but to make communication easier for the rest of the group. Sucks, true, but shrugging it off and doing your own thing might be the best course of action here.

Bottomline: Light-DC has more germans and less french people. Germans might be more willing to speak english, but you can still run into groups that cant or wont. Dont take that personal.

Edit: Am I understanding correctly that you're from America? If so... why did you pick an EU-server to begin with, instead of an american one? Your chance of getting parties with everyone having english as their first language are much better on Primal, Aether and Crystal - and you'd be closer to the server to, meaning a better connection.
