I think even in the EU forums there used to be a period where even without subs we could post on the new forums, then they stopped that.
There is also that absolute mad lad in the US forums.

Maybe our reaction stems from the fact that we know that no matter what we say, we’re not going to be listened to and the US just hasn’t realized that.
Also the EU mods are banhappy, they put out any flamewars quickly, don’t know about the US which maybe has underpaid/careless mods, just my speculation though.
That is relative to what someone is used to. I still find them so lax that I was wondering if they even existed.
Try out the Battlefield V forums where there are also volunteer mods and you will see how easy even the EU troublemakers have it.
From what I have noticed they are more present at the forum, meaning flamewars like we have it here is stopped even faster than it is here.
They edit, remove, change and ban much faster on that forum than they do here.
But cultural speaking, they do have some agreement to what good and bad behaviour is on that forum, where you often hear EU-posters getting mad because they get banned very fast when they enter that forum - we simply don’t know the unwritten rules, or the dwellers from that forum have learned not to complain (or their complaints get removed fast too )
They are sometimes hella fast, like if i say peni[BAN]
Ahr come on, you are a roleplayer, you must have a better way to say just that word?

I’m so sorry Blue Guardians But I regret nothing

Yes that was discussed further up in the thread but it’s worth highlighting again none the less
With hindsight, I should have worded it that an additional subscription is not required to post on the US forums.
It is a perception that the EU is ignored. However I don’t seem big interaction from Devs on the US forums either.
The Dev posts or information posts mostly appear on both forums at the same time now as well.
we simply don’t know the unwritten rules
There shouldn’t be unwritten rules though. If anything is not permitted it should be in written form.
Both EU and US forums have a welcome topic and the rules laid out in them.

This is cultural speaking - what is allowed and frowned upon in one place, isn’t in another place.
Sometimes, those unwritten rules are so umbedded in people, that it seems strange no one else knows about them
Both EU and US forums have a welcome topic and the rules laid out in them.
I know… But you can still see differences
this is cultural speaking
But those rules are exactly the same, does that mean the EU ones aren’t enforced?
Oops, I was going to reply to other posts.
btw I just levelled a character to 10 on a US account with no gametime at all for any region and it took 39 minutes as a mage, that was doing some grinding too.
The character isn’t appearing in the character list on the website yet so I can’t check about posting without gametime, but I believe you need EU gametime to post in anywhere other than CS or Tech support.
edit: I cleared the cookies, logged out then back in again and I can now confirm you cannot post anywhere on the US forums except CS, TS and new players if you don’t have gametime.
Make a US starter account, level to 10, BAM you can post
Sounds good, doesn’t work.
As an player with active EU subscription I tried that, leveled my character to 10 on US RP server, left the game, Reset came and went on Wednesday and still I’m not able to choose a character to post on US forums with, its just doesn’t appear there.
I believe you don’t know what you’re talking about, Puny.
My US forum posting character…
Clearly just a figment of my imagination like all those other players that do exactly the same.
They should just merge us with them imo.
Best solution.
We have different resets, nothing would really make much sense. Unless they moved us all onto US cycle, personally that would not suit me.
TL3 on US too?

Resets for the game servers don’t affect the forums.

This is not what is being asked.
