Glastonbury

[Lamp]

Been on Glastonbury. First time. Started off in Tir Na Nog Adventurers (public starter guild). I understood that English was supposed to be the language of the server, alas, 85% of the chat was in French.

I have nothing against French being used on French-speaking servers. I'm English but when Pryd-Excal was down I played on a French-speaking server and out of courtesy spoke French there. No probs. So why can't our French-speaking friends use English on the English-speaking server as a courtesy ?

Am I asking too much ?

In the end I got so fed up I quit the starter guild.

 

[Gamah]

old.

Why you would even want to stay in a starter guild is beyond me.
First thing I do when I make a new character is /gc quit, no matter what (type of) server.

Played Glastonbury for a week now, only once have I run into a French player would spoke no English at all. They have been polite even when I accidently got one of them exp killed, whe n he pm'ed me in French to ask why I did what I did I just said 'sorry I don't speak French' and he pm'ed right back in English. Of couse I apologised and he seemed pretty cool with that. All in all I have had no bad experiences with the French players and hopefully I would hope that I have treated them as well as they have treated me. As for speaking French in public channels, well you really can't expect all French people to understand English and of couse if someone asks a question in French then thier fellow countrymen will answer in French, it doesn't mean they are being ignorrant or trying to annoy anyone, they are just doing what is most comfortable for them.

At the end of the day we have to share the server and play together, lets not make it any harder than it has to be by squabbling over petty differences of opinion.

I haven't found a problem - the odd bit of french in crafting/broadcast channels, but nothing that GCSE French coudln't help out with, and everyone that has spoken to me in French has always switched to English when they realised I wasn't French.
Play on the WoW servers, now there's some language problems.

 

[Wazkyr]

when i played wow on Ravenchrest i saw maybe 1 a week speaking other than english, here its seems like 80% french ppl. Just wait till gms come back from holiday, report them for speaking it public channels with french, they will get warnings>suspension>perma ban, cant se what else to do. I find it very anoying that they invadeded our server speaking french, its fine they are here, as theres no french server but for god sake atleast speak english then.

lol, way to dig yourself into a pit of shit

 

[judas]

we should be happy they made a english classic server in the first place.
as most of you say 80% of the chat is in french might allso mean 80% of server pop is french ppl.
why just not cope with it and learn french?
i found camlann to be much worse then the classic servers languange wise.

 

[haoth]

why does it bother you that ppl use their native language ?

 

[Aiteal]

Every single french/italian/spanish person I have encountered so far have been very polite
Higher level chars from all nationalities have stopped my char and gave me aurulite gear they no longer need

They only thing that annoyed me about starter guild chat was the
"OMFG SPEEK ENGLISH U FAGS" spam by some people when they couldnt work out how to disable the french chat in the officer channel

 

[Fizzl]

I have nothing against people using there native language as long as they keep it in PMs or personal chats.

When I join ie. a TD group its anoying that everyone just keep spamming french up my face even tho I have tried to politely ask them to speak english for the non french people.

Another thing that anoys me is when I get a pm saying something like "MON OUI OUI AUSI DS GROUP????". At least say initiating pm in english, this is a english server after all.

So basically the French people aren't allowed to speak their own language
because GoA indirectly says so by not making a french classic server?

Please read my post if your going to quote it.
I said I dont mind them speaking there own language, as long as they dont go bla bla bla right up my face, it IS an english server, goa made that and that should be respected. As I said, they can speak french in there private chats all they want for what I care, but its comon sense and respect for your fellow people.

Should be easy for anyone to see.

What would you do if GoA only made a French and German classic server? Not speak English in general chats?

 

[shaark]

Most of the french on clasic speak english but they dont even bother to use that they prefer to speak french coze they french and yeah they French lol

My Experience with Classic server so far as been good with other nationalities that play it BUT that Changed other day while levelling when A Certain French Person decided that he wanted my Leveling place even tho he was 50 and decided to just take over it as he was PL a character.

I know there no rule about camping areas but he could of least had decency to let me level up but when asking nicely if he would mind moving all I got was No English / Don't understand.He broke no CoC in pulling the mobs but as he was Chain pulling he took whatever mobs that I was going to do making it a wasting my time in arguing with this person.

This is my only Downsight while playing Classic hope no one has same experience with our Bretheren but I do wish they respect that.By being Dumb towards english speakers only will cause conflict.

My respect to everyone who speaks english in-game, the french on glastonbury make me realise how much effort the rest of the world make in comparrison.
