Other Blizzard games can be played in the language you want regardless of the region, but only Wow I cannot play in Korean if you play on European server.
I just went to the SOD test server and confirmed that it can be played in Korean and hardcore as well. However, retail and classic cannot be played in Korean.
So I assume it’s not technical issue or any.
It’s a little hard to fully understand when you’re enjoying the game unless you’re speaking English at the native level. Especially when there’s a new expansion. I played Shadowland on European server, but I could only understand the whole context. This is why I’m hesitant to play the new Wow expansion in Europe.
Please remove the language restriction.
Thank you in advance.
I was a little confused with the title as many languages are spoken in the EU.
You want to be able to play on any region. My understanding is that every region has it’s own version and adheres to the rules of that region.
You can’t buy an EU license and play on a different region. But you can live in EU and play in KR if you buy their game and subscribe at their prices. There is no one covers all regions option for WoW.
They are essentially all run separately. They have different deals, pricing, slight differences to the game etc.
No. You got confused. They said that you can’t change languages when playing in the European realms and, say, play on the English realms. You’re forced on the Russian realms if Russian, for example.
I know I can’t delete any of my Russian characters, while I’m using the English launcher/client. I have to change the launcher language and the client language, just to be able to delete those characters, which I haven’t played since WoD.
It would indeed be nice if they did lift those restrictions, which just don’t make any sense in this day & age.
The OP mentioned Korean, hence the regions in my reply.
Russians can play on EU realms that was changed many years ago. Russian realms are indeed separate and must have the Russian language pack installed. As far as I’m aware providing everything is installed it’s a simple case of swapping on the launcher.
Yes. But you cannot play with the Russian language outside of their realms. In that person’s case they cannot play in Korean outside of the Korean realms. That’s kinda lame and it just makes it worse for some people like them i feel.
That is indeed odd that language would be restricted like that. I thought it was a simple change in the launcher settings and installing the right language packs? (since I did try out the game in german once to see if dwarves would have a austrian or swiss dialect, they do not which was disappointing).
Not true u can play any of the european languages on eu servers, (russia being an exception but i asume thats because of it being cyrillic and not a latin alphabet)
I’d love for South Korean ID requirements to be able to make accounts here in the West. It would solve so many problems that we have in the gaming community. Botting would be reduced, but of course not completely gone!
The OP doesn’t want to play on Korean realms. He wants to play on English realms while his game language is set to korean. You can do that in all other Blizzard games except for WoW which only allows to use the languages of the realms you’re accessing. Its a relic from the past they never bothered to fix.
Well legally they can’t do anything with it due to the GDPR laws in Europe! But remember governments are worse than Blizzard and they already have your ID, bank information and all that other stuff
Anyway, time for sleep and then Sunday Wax farm session >_<
