English servers should be EU servers
played EU beta last night and spent most of my time blocking what seemed to be a spanish guild all spamming area chat channel.i might say deliberately as well.they were asked to tone it down but continued.please dont get me wrong.nothing against the spanish .the problem lies in the fact there are no spanish servers so they have to play somewhere.would have been easier to call em EU servers instead of english.dont think they have licence for spanish servers .it ended up with me just turning off area chat along with most english speaking people who were getting really annoyed.i think to put it in a nutshell all servers on EU Tera should be EU language.saves peeps from getting pissed off.

You do realise that english is probably one of the less spoken languages in Europe right?
Guess you dont..
Natively spoken perhaps, but I have the feeling that it is still the most understood language in the EU.
first of all its an english server,why say its an english server when the people that are mostly talking on it are not speaking english..does'nt make sense.change it to EU so peeps know what to expect..simples.
Is there a Spanish server?
I'm playing on the US servers. Nobody is talking any other language (as they are banning people for it).
It's rather nice to know what people are saying in the area chat o/
no thats why i said make em EU
Why english talkers always complains against other languages? Go study yourselves.
did you actually read my post or just not bother at all?
Yes, I did. And I dont understand why people worry about other languages in general chat . What is the problem? You need be more cosmopolitan.
He can only read spanish
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
You do realise your wrong, english is probally the second language in most EU countries..

Not that i have any issues with people speaknig their own langauge in games.. infact i like it as it helps me pick up other languages..
I´m brazilian. Here we talk portuguese. And I can read english too, and spanish.
your missing the point..i,m all for accommodating the spanish on the servers,i dont have a problem,my point is to avoid confusion call them EU servers then people dont get wound up when they log in and see every chat on an english server is anything but english.the spanish have to play somewhere and i,m all for them playing..you are misunderstanding my post.in fact i dont care what language people speak..its just to avoid any confusion at all.
He did wrote in English.. so he can at least be polite enough to type in a diferent language than his native one.
Maybe you should be polite enough to type your message in Spannish for him so he can understand aswel? Oh wait.. you cannt.. right? Right.. yeah..
It's a good idea to close down the area chat anyway.
I leave it on because the world was empty (to many channels) so it gave me at least a little bit of connection.
But if it would annoy me, I would close it down with pleasure.
Unless a company provides a native server for a nation I do believe that there should be an enforced language for a game. English seems to be the most common second taught language in Europe.
If it was any other language and I wanted to play that game and it was for example German I would learn German. I went with Germany cause they have the wealthiest economy keeping Europe afloat therefore I believe they have most disposable income while most almost third world EU countries like spain and greece are suffering massive employment issues would not.
I jibe a little however my main point is this. I have enjoyed my time talking to various people from different countries in my gaming career and on a daily basis I chat with people from Denmark and Belgium. I do not like communities that huddle together speak their own language then are rude/abusive and exploitative towards those who aren't their "own".
I wish gaming companies would enforce/police a language of a server the community at large would benefit a great deal regardless of the whine and rascist accusations. Any private chat can be done via comms.
Ok lets see this list of yours:
First of all, you forgeting Russia.
Second.. all the countries form the old Russian Republic speak and understand Russian. Start addign them up.
Third, Spannish speakers, Portuguese and Italian have very close languages so they understand each other pretty well. Start to add them up aswel.
See.. English is one of the less spoken languages in Europe.. I find it funny that you guys form UK always complain about non English typing aswel, when the vast majority of you cannot even type in anything else than your own native language
No one below the age of 40 or even more speaks russian unless you count countries like Ukraine and Belarus where they defacto speak russian.
All the other coutnries of the former USSR stopped teaching russian in 88-91...
Also ecomonically no one really cares about russia
Sorry i was just talking about the euopean union and thats where those stats come from.. its not somthing i just picked out of my arse they are official figures.. english is the most spoken language in the EU.. but hey think what you like
your kind of getting off topic here..all i would like is for them to change English speaking servers to EU speaking servers to accomodate all languages..that is'nt a harsh comment,all its for is to avoid confusion when people are creating chars..at least they will know when creating a char on specific server they know other european languages will be spoken on that server as well.not much to ask really.
The point about Russia is moot as they are IP blocked from playing Tera EU.
And I refuse to club the spanish, french and italian together as roughly speaking the same language as the only thing they have in common is latin which english also has in common. Maybe they should launch latin servers?
The OP has a point though I think maybe forcing all non-english speaking people onto a designated server would be a good idea.
Fixed.
L2P TERA combat:
If its a english server you should write in english in general chat. If its a german server you should write in german. It makes no difference if you are a native english/german speaker as long as you can use the language.
I think its OK if you are only allowed to use the servers official language in general chat. If you cant do that dont use general chat. If you use guild chat or if you are in a group with friends it makes no difference.
Ty fixed it now.
Np buddy
