The language issue

I have seen at least four different languages (English, German, Polish, French) in doing some research on the game.  Since the player-base appears to be very global, will they just throw everyone onto one server and let language differences sort themselves out (ie  "Kill that guy, he's not one of US"), or will they have different servers for different languages?

 

Not to be a dick, but I would lose a lot of interest if everyone was just jammed together, I can't stand not being able to communicate with the other players, at least those from my own faction.

    Hi,

     

    what you actually describe as a disadvantage I would describe as an advantage. I think EVE is also a nice example how well this can work. 

    Still we are planning the following measures:

    The global channel will be held in English while offering other language specific global channels as well.

    And even more important, we will have different starting areas according to your location. So you will be in an area where all other people are English speaking. 

     

    Kind regards,

    Stefan

    Yea, this is one of the fun parts of the game...I recall our clan (incognito) seeing asylum guys and just attacking them as they are from somewhere we aren't...lol.  Just fun politics.
