id say its almost over for all the european servers.

2200 across all the servers on a sunday afternoon isnt exactly a massive amount of ppl

and about the ppl that cant speak german or french.

what exactly do you want GOA to do? they cant make the language client side and making the server language english will leave those that cant speak english in the dark. and looking from GOA's point its alot better to have 30 english speaking players pissed off then ALOT more french/germans that cant speak english...

yes its a shame but there really isnt much to be done here that wont actually make it worse then it already is.

unless you suggest that Mythic spend a few hundred thousand dollars on recoding the core game to make the language packs client side ofc.

and even if Mythic wanted to do that they just can't because they will never ever get that money back. no company would risk that kind of money on something that has a pretty big chance of losing most of its customers within the near future (talking about Warhammer here).

its over for the english servers. no amount of advertising can save that cluster now. and GOA probably can't afford to advertise anyway, and not because they dont have the funds to do so but because they know that they wont get nearly as many new subscribers as needed to just make THOSE money back, let alone turn it around to a profit.

i'm actually surprised that Dyvet is still running because that cluster sure as hell isnt making them any cash. and i very much doubt that the entire european subscriber base is generating enough for a profit. if anything they are just barely breaking even, if that.

well, there might be something that could turn the game around. and thats a complete relaunch with a world wide advertising campaign. but that wont happen either because its just to much of a risk. because the game IS old, it IS restrictive and its hardly even looking good compared to the newer mmo's out there.
