    No. Players should not be required to do any research whatsoever prior to starting up the game and creating their character. That's not user-friendly.

    I don't doubt people's ability to use google, but the fact is doing so shouldn't be necessary. A game should be intuitive enough that you can just jump right in and start playing immediately, without having to do any work to prepare beforehand.

    Yet you expect players to do research to find the server with the largest player base of there language? Or any other Specific group?

    No. Where did you get the idea that I would think that? No, the language/region of the server should be listed next to its name in the server list.

    100% right.

    It just pains me to even have these pseudo-arguments with Coglin/TheVedis... for them to even begin speaking on the topic, they have to be explained the basic things RPers know from being part of this specific community. They have to hear that out, and understand that, and /then/ with that knowledge state their case w/o the gimmicks they have been using.

    That is why it makes NO sense in really even replying to them, they are simply too willfully ignorant on the subject. Their posts in this thread have showed that they are in no way interested in finding solutions. They don't have the interests of our community in mind, they're simply looking for a response. Think about it... this thread has little to do with them at all. You should question with all that was said, why they're still even paying attention to it.
