Ragnarok EU - Are you going?

[Delsus]

I am not going anywhere, I will be on Gungnir forever.

I'm not. I'm british, and spanish/german/french players irritated the hell out of me on FFXI.

can you give me a reason?

Don't take this the wrong way if you're French/German/Spanish, but I found French players on Ragnarok arrogant, Germans unable or incapable of taking directions due to language barriers (which is stupid. I've lived in Germany before and the German people are generally very good at english and auto-translate existed on the game) and a constant stream of "jajajajajajajajaja" from Spanish players just pissed me off.

I know all players aren't like that, but it put me off to the extent I only partied with people with a decent grasp of english. So for that reason, I'm not going. Personal preference. Being on a server that is for that is hell to me.

EDIT: Additionally, my French language skills aren't good, my German worse, and my Spanish is non-existent. The UK is a megamegamega minority in Europe, and the idea of isolating myself on a server that caters for 90% non-english speakers isn't my (very english) cup of tea.

in Pads Ragnarok is the second one with more popularity, seems we will have not any problem

Indeed! Ragnarok 725 (Can double/triple that figure for those who don't know/like Pads), I will be posting the Timezones of selections once we get more concentrate data.

[Antipika]

Hardly doubt that UK players are a minority, the only thing is you cannot see them among everyone else, since they just speak English.

Sorry does this mean you are going to post stats for each server, language and location based on what you have collected ?

I wish the lodestone was half as good as your site lol.

Yes, all users have entered in their country, so through this we can show which timezone will be going where, the only issue is trying to get non member timezone data. XD

Still, I applaud your efforts prem but not a single person of our 80 person (and active) LS is on pads. Its a good indicator of whos going but doesn't even come close to reflecting who is and isn't going with the real numbers. About half that 80 is EU and 2 of that half are thinking about going (they're French) with the rest not wanting to touch Ragnarock with a barge pole.

Dunno - suppose its better then not.

I could add your LS and move them now :P

Also I did say double the figure, it is infact a very good indicator, plus if you click "Show All" you can see how well the other servers is doing with nearly 30'000 characters automatically merged.

Your 80 members means 10% to what is not there, 5% if you doubled for roundabout predictions, it is also a very good indicator considering the amount of people playing. Not to mention, if more people joined up, like yourself and moved your LS over, its so easy to do and will help everyone, if everyone did this, we'd have more solid figures.

I can only build the tools and do so much, I rely on you, the community to use and fill it up, there is not much more than that I can do.

Also would you rather have a poll with 15-30 votes or a site which lists them and already nearing 1k selections. I think my page is the best source of information around, well the Japanese think so XD (2k JP/day is hurting my server!)
