[Serious Discussion] Create Asian PvP server

[Kikeron]

I still think they should move Germans to a dedicated server. This would reduce the lag.

Have you even read the thread?

I have read some posts regarding Chinese playerbase and while some parts don't bother me, as they were bound to happen sooner or later (such as whining about Auction House prices), there are points, that are valid and I hope will be considered by Game Masters, Administration and Developers.

Players, who don't speak english are always a problem. This game is very social and in normal conditions, there is no place for people not being able to communicate with others while doing dungeons. Conditions in Nostalrius, however, are special, because we are very populated. This enforces our cooperation also in other aspects of the game, not only in doing instances. Chinese make the largest minority in this server - if reports from low level zones are true, they are on their way to becoming a majority here. A lot of them doesn't speak english, instead spamming chat with empty lines - this is something I have experienced myself multiple times. Considering this, I agree they should get their own server. It would make it a better experience for them and better experience for english-speaking players.

I would address the problem, regardless of the nation of the offenders, if they would make such a huge force in numbers as Chinese players - regardless if they were Spanish, Russian, German, Brazilian or even Polish (I am Polish myself) this is an English speaking server and players here should be able to speak this language.

People talking bad (insults, racism, sex-oriented monologue) in Barrens, /world, etc ... usually talk ... in english.

Who is always a problem, did you say ?

if I cry and report to a gm, should I say like US people usually complain and say "It hurts my feelings "?

I am not saying people speaking english don't cause ANY problems. I say EVERY single person, not speaking english (Chinese, Brazilian or whatever) in - in fact - english speaking server is a problem. Tiny problem, if it's a single person in a sea of english speaking people and huge problem if society gets split in two, because of this (which is a case here). Well, into quarters, considering horde and alliance speak different languages, even if they both use english or chinese.

I want this to be a serious discussion about why the Asian players of this server need their own server and why it will benefit everyone currently playing on Nostalrius PvP.

I agree!

Still, I don't see what's the matter with asian players.
I mean, there are french, spanish, russian speaking guilds (and many others ofc) , and probably all these people don't speak english and that's why such guilds exist?

Let's say I play a mage, I already farmed my potions, oil etc, and I don't need anymore to group with people to go to 5 man dungeon. So I only go in BWL, ZG, MC with my guild.

No conversation with anyone, except guildmates.

If I were this mage, would I have to change of server, later on ?

If you were not able to speak english, you should transfer to server, that uses your language. Plain and clear as that. If you can speak english, it's up to you - you might transfer, but you don't have to. You're not contributing to problem at all, since you can speak english and other players can communicate with you. Right now they have no joy in playing with you, if you don't speak english - you're just like an opposite faction player, except you can't be attacked.

Those guilds exist because it's easier for those people, to communicate in their native language, than in english. They might or may not know english, but people not speaking english from those guilds are not such a big problem yet, because they are not as numerous as chinese players. As I said - it's all about the numbers. If Brazilian/Russian/Polish/German players suddenly invaded the game in numbers and if they were able to speak only their native languages, it would make the game just as unpleasant for everyone else as it is right now for other than chinese players.

That's the reason why official servers are divided by the languages. It's wise and we should have it too.

Ok for that, but Blizzard was earning a lot of money since it was not a free to play game.

ps: "LET'S SAY I PLAY A MAGE"

What are you not understanding? Germans do not make up 60% of the server population during peak hours. They also for the most part speak and understand English to a workable level and group and interact with non-German players. The comparison to other nationalities is completely retarded. Stop making it. If there WERE somehow 6000 Germans on this server who didn't speak a single word of English while consuming the same server resources as everyone else, people would suggest a separate server for them as well. But there aren't.
