So the long story short ("confirmed") is that they can't cluster diff Languages Servers (or they can't be arsed :twak:) and that Mythic License (rumor) force em to leave at least one English speaking Server.
That said my guess is that Mythic would understand a move by Goa to "save" a part of the playerbase.
Why not putting up a poll in Camelot.eu home page to understand the willings of the Uk playerbase?
If we want to cluster and trash english translations (ala Glastonbury), let the majority have what it wants.

I can tell you the results now of that poll:

For Dyvet players the poll would be:
Would you like Dyvet clustered with another server even if it meant changing the server language?
English speaking players: Yes

For French and German players the poll would be:
Would you like a bunch on english speaking players dumped on your perfectly healthy server?
French speaking players: Non
German speaking players: Nein

Of course maybe GOA should do this poll just so they can then say they are listening to the playerbase but I doubt it would make the FH trolls any happier. Maybe they could turn Dyvet Italian, I am sure that would be popular too.

No1 can ever be as sexy as me :wij: :)


PS: Most germans dont know how to speak English, at least good enough to quickly reply in TS, at least from my experience so they do make some barriers as to have some1 in ts that dosent understand them or they cannot make themselfs clear.
How would you like to have some1 in your group that can hardly speak english?

That's a good reason for not wanting 500 more players? Hardly

tbh... goa cant make any decisions atm
we do know that once ages ago both servers had like 5000 players on prime time?
was it about 2500-3000 when they got clustered?
so if they make a poll for the 100 accounts still on dyvet, would they have some kind of results they could use?
most ppl still playin dyvet, stay cause they have trouble w the language on other servers
will goa send email to ppl who dont play any more to ask them about a decision that will involve others?
if they actually cluster dyvet w any other server/cluster, what would be the impact of it to the healthy one?
there r many germans who whine about strong realms gettin stronger and that goa made a poor choice of servers to cluster , causin pollulation imbalances

and yes, atm its just forumtrolls whinin till goa flips a doubleedged knife
but i am curious what some here expect to happen if there is a 5-6 server cluster.
its not like the us... the german servers r very healthy n zergy at prime time.
in the us , ppl say it has a steady low poppulation at all times. by clusterin them they brought more ppl together since mythic doesnt expect any more growth. ( thats the reason eu classic clustered)
but if dyvet is clustered w germans or french server, some ppl expect hundrets to renew...
so do u want the hundreds of albs to infest more server?

imo the best solution would b to allow dyvet players, who wish to play in a different cluster a couple of new char lvl50 at the rr of the ones they already have to a realm, which is underpoppulated
n all this for a certain fee n it would b a big favor, unless u think goa runs a free shard

bah ignore this post... dyvet is gettin clustered tomorrow

All the Germans I've grouped with have a better grasp of English than some of the English players I've grouped with. Some of them have a pretty wicked sense of humour too. Though you do have to explain some colloquialism's to them (stop being a gay twat for example - though not directed at the German player tbh).

Also they've seemed to struggle at playing the regular NFD game of '#random woman# - yes or no?'. They also seem to worship Jamie Oliver (though I like him I don't believe him to be the be all & end all of culinary excellence).

Not saying otherwise, i even agree if the 500 "english players" to come to german server... might start a small comunity. But what i can say from personal experience is that german players rather invite ( even more then Dyvet players) ppl that they know or they seen before and leave the english players as last resort.

Why would I be bitter? I had one character on Dyvet who is rr8. I saw what was going to happen on Dyvet ages ago and re-rolled Limors. I have 3 chars there with over 8 million rp between them, I am perfectly happy with what I have.

My point still stands. There is no need to cluster any of the French of German clusters again at the moment because the population is fine, if you did a poll players there wouldn't want to cluster with anyone at the moment. Even when the population drops on those servers in general they would prefer to play with people who speak their own language. Most Germans I have met are happy to play and help out English speaking players but there are a significant number that would rather not because its a German server and they don't speak English.

Maybe it has something to do with you ?

I played on hib/limors and play on alb/limors and both times i had no problem whatsoever with the german players. Dark Templars on alb took me in with no problems at all, even though my german is rusty to say the least.

Ofcourse people in the rvr-scene first take people they know for a longer period. Remember this game is 5 year-old. The community tends to get rather tight-knit. Take a look at these boards and you will see. Most of the times the replies in posts contain puns concerning the other people in the thread.

P.S. hi Gahn and Paul, i played in your guild on Pryd as well. Remember Daphney and Daeuta ? :)

In my experience at least, thats crap !

In fact its the complete opposite, totally different to Dyvet. The Germans are very friendly, and its very easy to find a group. Just join the relavent BG & spam that your LFG and you get a group quite easily. I was the 2nd druid along with the highest rank char on the server ( or there abouts) that druid beginning with D, forge this name. Shit, as a L43 myself and Perfect Recovery ( L40s too) were invited night after night by 2 L50 animists, was rr4 by the time i hit 50 !

The Germans given the option of having an extra few hundred ppl from Dyvet would, I pretty damn sure give a resounding YES.

Hey dude ;) How ya doing? Long time no see!

The poll i meant was for the English speaking playerbase, pretty much what Mythic done for the Japanese Server. Afaik it was a poll held in the Jap playerbase on the line of "we either leave it as it is or we cluster you with an english speaking server" and they chose the clustering option with the language change.

I remember nothing but helpful people when i poked my head in on a German server, though I didn't speak a word of German they were more than happy to try to speak to me in English. Same with the Americans really, most people think of them as complete twats but for the most part they are nice guys.

Like i said, different realm maybe. And as for answering the rest of the posts it has nothing to do with me since im a Jon Doe on limors and i do use the lfg chat and even do /say lfg several times.
Maybe its my armor color, maybe its my Simulacrum that stinks :p maybe its the microwave effect on hamsters sex life who knows. What i do know is that the reality i see is quite different

You Ever thought that Ze Germans probably know who you are and choose to ignore a twat like youself.

Come play US Kuntexic so I can just put you on /ignore there.

Look just because your my nº1 gay fan dosent mean everyone else is as sad as you.
Instead of posting your useless crap wasting valuable bites on the internet you could be doing something valuable like traveling to the north pole....and staying there. Dont forget tho to ask parents for permission since airlines dont accept minors flying solo mkay?

Oh please, thought we'd put all the nasty abusiveness behind us here. All in the same boat now. Whats done is done. Can't see the point of maintaining old grudges.
