Are UK players a minority in wow?

[Alleriana-wildhammer]

I just made Home made fish and chips for dinner, it made me so happy to get a taste of home as I had to make my own batter and find some nice Cod.

@Hototo-crusader-strike

people in game or irl who play WoW from the UK.

From the UK?! — What do you mean from — My mom is from the UK, but I’m not, I live just there.

If I had to guess, I would say a lot of people who live in the UK make up a good portion of the EU players.

[Clergy-the-shatar (Clergy)]

The population of Europe is approx 741 million
The population of the UK is approx 67 million

So less than 10%

If anything the UK if over represented

Cake or Death!

No, brits want beans on toast instead of cake

Uncultured ones maybe. Real Brits of distinction (OK just Scottish people) hold beans on toast in scorn (OK maybe just people from one city in Scotland) and would rather throw the beans on toast in the bin (OK so it’s just me, like I said, a person of distinction) and instead have a black pudding and egg roll with hp sauce.

(Only cowards burst the yolk while cooking)

I was with you until the egg and peasant sauce.

[Axran-ravencrest]

honestly… im the only person i know irl that plays retail and i live in the UK

its just not as popular anymore over here, when we have other games that are more mainstream like Warzone or Fortnite

i would go as far to say. that they don’t advertise World of Warcraft enough in the UK, half my friends are like " WHATS THAT ? " or " IS THAT ON THE ps5 ? "

[Dawnsteel-steamwheedle-cartel]

What age group? People my age that play games all know. Early 20s not so much.

my friends are between 25- 35 and are generally Console gamers

[Dawnsteel-steamwheedle-cartel]

Well if they are console gamers that is kind of a given!

Its not only the uk, the last time i saw an ad for WoW in the netherlands was the cataclysm cinematic during a commercial break

Free health care, even though many don’t use it properly. But yeah, you can earn a ton of money if you have 5+ kids, live in a council house, were half or more of that rent is paid for by tax payers and earn enough to buy all the latest tech and go on vacation each year, just from welfare benefits.

Why do you think so many people are aiming to go the UK, compared to the rest of Europe

Daily Mail reader spotted.

I constantly play with them. Them, and scandinavians.

I can assure you we don’t

[Udig-twisting-nether]

i highly doubt

[Porenn-shadowsong]

English here - Why not beans, toast, black pudding and egg (with runny yolk), slathered over with tons of HP sauce? (I’ve made myself really hungry thinking of that now)!!!
Hopefully I don’t sound too “southern” - many years of working in comms and moving around with the Royal Navy has kind of flattened my accent quite a bit!

[Alleriana-wildhammer]

British here living in Scandanavia, I really dislike beans, toast is great which sucks because getting nice white bread here is hard, but I really dislike beans.

Also sausages, no Richmonds here ; ; no crumpets, no KFC, McDonalds is gross here as they use totally different buns, no Yorkshire Tea, no Cadburies, no Walkers ; ;

I do miss England but not the Tories or Brexiteers, I hate them with a passion.

When you left the UK where did you move to? The 9th layer of Hell?

[Annesathiel-doomhammer]

I too am British and I too dislike beans. If we’re talking breakfast, it has to be scrambled eggs with cheese on top of some heavily buttered crumpets.

[Alleriana-wildhammer]

I miss crumpets so much <3

[Souldefiler-blades-edge (Souldefíler)]

@Alleriana-wildhammer

sausages, no Richmonds here

Wee Willie Winkies FOR THE WIN!!!

@Alleriana-wildhammer

no crumpets

I love those heated with raspberry seeded jam…

@Alleriana-wildhammer

no KFC

Once you’ve had proper KFC in the States, everything abroad is inferior. The UK has just started selling seasoned fries… Seasoned wedges though… And our popcorn chicken is not a mere boxful of little tiny chicken nuggets you get in the UK. (I’ve gone into American mode now yaw’ll…)

@Alleriana-wildhammer

McDonalds is gross here

believe me… No one really goes to McDonalds in the Statesunless they have to either except for maybe breakfast. If you want a burger you go to a chain like Burger King or Whataburger, or Checkers make good burger and fries.

Steak and Shake is good too but they’re a bit of a greasey spoon but the best fast food…

Chic-fil-A, if you leave your politics at the door and just go in for a chicken sandwich people…!!!

@Alleriana-wildhammer

Yorkshire Tea

I’m a PG tips man personally, thankfully Publix sold it in the British Foods section…

$10 a box… eep…

@Alleriana-wildhammer

no Cadburies

Again… Publix aisle.

Hershey’s is absolutely awful, “Milk chocolate” in the States should actually read “Milk powder chocolate”, and you DO notice the difference. Milk chocolate is available, but you’ll pay top dollar for it.

@Alleriana-wildhammer

Walkers

US version is Lays, and you only get 4 flavours.

Classic (ready salted) Chive and Sour Cream, Salt n Vinegar, BBQ.

Any other flavours are promotional. They have yet to taste the glory of roasted beef flavour or bacon flavoured.

@Alleriana-wildhammer

I do miss England but not the Tories or Brexiteers, I hate them with a passion.

I could get political with this and write a long-winded essay but I won’t. Let’s just say I have lots of discussions with Brexiteers and have yet to say “Yeah you’re right about that.”

But if you want to make a Brexiteer bite his tongue and splutter at the first hurdle, when they inevitably say “Europe controlled us and made our laws” simply reply with “If that were true they wouldn’t let you have a referendum on leaving. Would they?”

Or they would have ignored it and made the outcome illegal like Spain did with the Catalonia referendum.

Not Brittish, but I do enjoy Fish & Chips, and all the pies :3
