Novice network language options

[Rynia]

The one issue I see is English players hijacking other channels because they are mostly empty, like players do in DF, and there really isn't much that can be done to prevent this

Depends on your server. On Shiva the NN is 99% German (actually had an English newbie decide to change server because they wanted one where most of the chat was English >.>) to the point where I've left auto-join off because there's no point me being a mentor if I don't speak the language. Having a separate English channel for us would be great, as I imagine a wall of Deutsch can be intimidating/make you worry you wouldn't be easily understood when you asked a question.

I was really looking forward to being a mentor but effectively can't and it makes me sad =( If there was a way I could easily be found by English-speaking newbs then I could actually be helpful!
