[A] Chill Swedish raiding guild

Honestly, I see more English mistakes from UK and US people than from Scandinavians.

I don’t know anyone IRL who doesn’t speak English well.

Benefits of picking up on it academically instead of struggling with would of and their/they’re due to phonetic learning, I imagine.

I like the questions of “Why would a purely swedish guild type swedish on the forums?” when any server with a huge chunk of swedes will just be swedish in public channels.

Anywho, english on forums and you’ll have a better time on say, Silvermoon or Ravencrest.

You may not think so no, but a lot of people equate a lack of discipline as laziness and stupidity. It’s one of the driving factors of microaggressions and even racism towards people not native to the country they live in. You don’t speak the language? That must mean you’re not interested in engaging in our culture and therefor you are lazy, stupid, and don’t deserve to be here.

I realise it’s just a comment on the forums, but small things such as calling out someone’s preference for a language as a crippling lack of discipline can have dire consequences, especially in these times.

Congrats with your new car you bought in February, i guess…

If i catch you curling in the squat zone, we are going to have a problem.

they know how to speak english, they just don’t care. It’s some weird thing swedish WoW players have had since the game came out where they refuse to speak english

they know how to speak english, they just don’t care. It’s some weird thing german/french/spanish/russian/italian WoW players have had since the game came out where they refuse to speak english

not really comparable to the swedish. It was super noticable recently when playing classic where it’s returned but over the 10+ years i’ve played the game there’s been a huge number of swedish guilds exclusively advertising in swedish / for swedish speakers only

surely you know what i’m talking about… as a fellow swede…? i’ve even been part of one when i was like 12 and didnt know better

It’s not a Swede-exclusive phenomenon. There have been for example numerous Dutch guilds on AD.

The ellipses tell me you’re secretly Danish.

certainly not, but the amount of swedish-exclusive guilds popping up through the years is really quite inordinate compared to the rest.

frankly, I’d go as far as saying that swede-only guilds/people asking if you are swedish in a dungeon so that they can speak swedish to you are a recognised WoW meme by now

i believe i’ve said my piece, however, and i shall not be trashing up this thread any longer

Wasn’t the WotLK meme “SWE?” :joy:
I seem to remember my guildies commenting on that, and that was when I’d switch to Taurahe or something just to irritate them :stuck_out_tongue:

That has never happened to be, for what it’s worth! But I believe you. I associate it more with Russia, tbh, albeit not in WoW specifically since we have dedicated realms for them. But in other games, for sure.

I don’t think we need more pve guilds here, plenty of pve servers for that.

throwback to letterposting when the mods started deleting people and saying ‘please stop, we can also read this in swedish/danish/language’

when the forums had more than two people in customer support

Eat all the meatballs

Yeah we had other RP realms where people who didn’t RP transferred to because ‘atmosphere is nice’ or some weird stuff
Those realms have RP tags to this day but if you ask about RP in public channels you get ridiculed
If you are already starting from scratch please consider doing so elsewhere, this ‘mood of the server’ (RP community cozyness) is negatively affected by non RPers actively coming here to intentionally not RP.
All the other RP realms died out because too many non RPers with no intention to RP moved there because of the server mood

As shown by the OP. They clearly have very little intention of respecting the roleplay community with the new, and still stupid guild name. This is why OOC raid guilds are an issue, a prime example of 0 respect.

Not to say that they get extremely offended by IKEA jokes, like cmon

In their defense they haven’t replied to a single joke in the thread.
