EU players new server

And even though we learn each others language in school its not to the level that we can speak or write it fluently.

No, Meleena is right.
We never asked for a German or French server.
Most German and French players I met ingame were able to communicate in English quite well, and even if Server #10 had only German and French players, they'd STILL have to communicate with each other, and guess which language will be used...

[ShadowCadja]

Yeah...
Do you guys get all your games translated in your language, or ffxiv is the only game you play?
Don't you learn foreign languages in school? Isnt English one of them? (I dont know, just asking)

You responded in english right?

You had be surprised at the amount of people from Europe that don't speak english.

And what Jinko said.

Expecting someone to speak English is considered small minded.

And even though we learn each others language in school its not to the level that we can speak or write it fluently.

I am not from an english speaking country either but I do what I can in order to be able to enjoy the game.
To expect that every country will get it's own dedicated native speaking server sounds even worse to me.

No, Meleena is right.

Right about what ? that everyone in Europe should speak english ?

I don't understand why you are arguing about a server you aren't interested in, if you are French or German and don't want to be part of that server the option is pretty clear, is it not ?

And no chances are that server 10 would become segregated, linkshells that are mainly german speaking and linkshells that are french speaking, sure they may have to group up for XP parties but you don't even need to talk in an XP party.

Right about what ? that everyone in Europe should speak english ?

Perhaps you didn't understand what I meant.
What I wanted to say is that I imagine that most European players in the game can sommunicate in English

[Atoli]

Do French and German people need to speak their native language that badly in order to play the game?
English isnt good enough?

Right about THIS.
We don't need to talk in our own language so badly that it's okay to cause so much trouble for everyone.
English is the main language to communicate in internationally, so Meleena is kind of right. Everyone who is playing right now is aware he joined an international community so obviously English is the most important language ingame.

A server based on European time zones is a great idea, but based on languages is just stupid.
If I had the choice, I'd never pick server 10, but most of my friends and my main LS will go to #10, so I'll follow them.

Unless something changes and they tell us server names TA are looking at Gysahl = 6ysahl atm.

I signed up on the site back in december when transfers were announced ^^

I think that the NA lodestone article about the server#10 beeing a french/german speaking server is a miss translation.
If i translate the announce on the french side it'll give something like this:

-"We especially think about European players who are fewer and rather scattered between the different worlds :so,we think about a way in order to help them to regroup easily and effectively if they wish so."

I'm not that good in english but i hope you guys was able to understand something ^^'

So yeah server#10 will be in favour of European players but NA,JP,and others will be welcomed as well.In my opinion communication will no be an issue,all of us know one or two words in english and the in game auto-translation could help.
It'll be sad to see that the server#10 will be left alone by non-European players.
Well we still have time to think about this and my ls is still discussing with friends about witch server to pick when the day finally comes.

ps:Hi Coris if you read this,your sig rocks xD

Although it is more popular in German speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) to learn English, not all are necessarily fluent enough to enjoy conversation or speak accurately/quickly in battle.

Speaking English by French people is still not very common (even among young adults, even those who are avid video gamers), so they would definately enjoy an area where they can speak comfortably/accurately/quickly in their native tongue.

Saying that french people ( even young ones) do not speak English is a euphemism believe me, I am french and still young (30) and believe me, french people speak french period ^^. So yeah maybe it is a not so bad idea this server.
