Ragnarok EU - Are you going?

[Aku]

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.

I like the "don't take this the wrong way"... which is the right way to take that post?

Also, in any server that's not one language only, the most spoken one is going to be english. Everyone will speak their own among themselves, and (more or less broken) english with anyone else... exactly as it's done right now. Hell, you could make a French/German/Spanish server for example, no english-speaking countries whatsoever, and the language to go would still be english. A french player is not going to speak with a german one in french or german, after all.

Taking it as my reasoning for not going would be a great start.

Personally, I doubt it. But that's your opinion, and what you think will happen. I think something different will happen. I'm not planning on risking having a crappy gaming experience with no way to change servers again if things are as I think they'll be on the hope it isn't, though. If you are, more power to you. I'm not up for recreating another character on another server if I feel isolated due to language issues on Ragnarok.

Again, doubt this will happen. There won't be enough FR or DE players in order to shout only in French and German. Won't even mention Spanish and Italian players or players coming from the rest of Europe.

English will remain the language used everywhere (shouts, trade/seek repairs, etc.). Then within linkshell, nothing will change. French Linkshell off course will use French, German Linkshells will use German etc. But that's already the case on Worlds we have now.

Unless the Linkshell is "international" or "EU", English won't be used. But how is that an issue? Just get on any EU/International LS you can find and you're done.

As above. I'm not risking it, thanks.

No sense, Arrogant are everywhere, for example u are beeing arrogant saying that.
German cant take direction due language barrier? never happens to me, german are good in english, probably is how u ask them to take directions.
i am spanish, and i feel so sorry for u reading so stupid reason.. like others countries dont spam "lols" "LMFAO" etc, what happens? we dont laugh pro-style? seems irrelevant complaint for me.

Whoa, don't cry. Those players put me off from partying with non-english speakers. That's a personal thing, and I've mentioned that not every player is like that, but it's put me off. You asked me why I don't want to go to a server full of European people, and I told you. There's no reason to get so emotional over it, whether you see it as "irrelevant" or not. It's how I feel and why I won't move my character to that server.
