I speak french and mostly in this game and english sometimes but as I'm on Ultima it is hard to find any french speaking people minus the few that I know of now. Though When I play with my french friends and as a european I can honestly say that we do prefer to play amongst ourselves and this is quite a problem. Although I am not french and I'm italian, the italian friends that I have met within this game are the same as well. Most of europeans seem to have this problem with being open to communicating with american english speakers. English is the international language of the world and most of should understand it, but the sad reality is that we don't. Even I have trouble with english communication at time but thats what auto-translate is for lol . I just wish there was a way we could bridge the gap between europeans and americans. PS... Not all french people are rude lol it is a cultural thing, similar to italian lol
