Don't merge realms of different languages!

My server has a wild mix of people from all over Europe and we all choose to speak English lang. because it’s damn 21 century. Game is full of people who want to make their server only one language not because they can’t speak English but because they are just stubborn and refuse to use common sense.
I personally know many people who can speak English really well and they flat out refuse to use it in-game and go to those servers where people claim that given server is their “country server” lol

It’s simply absurd behavior.

It was deleted (not by user).

I have no idea, but they are the only ones that have the power to delete a thread.

@Blinkrush, Shumensko: Thank you! bows

@Esploratore: I have some of my posts saved, so if you did not have time to read my replies / need further clarification on my thoughts, please ask (again).

166

so is it safe to assume nothing is going to be done about the mergers then?

Did Blizzard just delete the other thread about the same issue with Al’Akir being connected to Burning Legion?! Seriously?!

The thread was probably deleted or maybe just hidden because in Blizzard’s eyes the idea of making a given server a one country exclusive is just a pointless endeavor because we have guilds that can serve as one language environment.
Basically, there is no point to argue about the given server being one language-specific because all servers should be international and if people want to speak just in their own language they can make a guild.

169

with whom? the people who were already on al’akir? it’s known as a dead server for a reason

@Prolimits: As I noted above, in my opinion it is likely that both groups will be expanded further.

People don’t understand that those servers alone are a small % of what is population on normal healthy server.

Which is why the data Blizzard themselves have is going to be far more useful (and accurate). They didn’t put all the realm names into a hat and pull them out to decide connections. They are informed carefully planned choices.

When ? In a few months ? In years ? How does that help their situation NOW ?

@Thimli: Based on what I read in the US thread Esploratore mentioned about US already getting a “second round” connection, I would say next two to four weeks.

176

you wouldn’t be kind enough to link the thread would you? i’ve just spent 10 minutes reading through one on the us forums and i’m not even sure it’s the right one

More like “did blizzard just delete a duplicate thread?”

Also it seems to have attracted forum trolls, I had to flag someone for linking an inappropriate image.
