I have not seen this around but I am interested to know from a GOA rep.

After you bring in the Italian/Spanish? Servers what are your plans for patching? Will the English/French/German communities prepare for even longer patch times? Or are you employing more staff to cope with this side of the business. I would hate to see a time when we were like 6 patches behind the US.

Also will this delay catacombs further or will you be employing more Translators to cope with the 2 new languages you will have to translate as well.

Please DO NOT FLAME GOA ON THIS THREAD...wanna do that make another thread..this is a serious thread and I don't want it turning into some flamefest.

Well as you may have seen, we have already started recruiting people for the Spanish team including CSRs, translators and technical staff.
There'll be an announcement in conjunction with Mythic regarding the Italian servers so I don't want to pre-empt that but I'd be astonished if the plan wasn't broadly similar.

As far as delay in patching is concerned, the translations are done side by side by different teams so it shouldn't take longer to translate two extra languages.

will these new servers be bumping up the subscription prices?

new servers + new players to pay for them.

Don't see anything to make me worry about increased subs prices.

Translation is done side by side, but what about testing?

Translation may be done in parallel, but testing on Gorre has always been in series. So I would amazed if there wasn't an increase in patch time.

Glad I'm off to a game where all patching is simultaneous worldwide.

Another test server would fix that ;)
