    No, they aren't. If French and German speakers where entitled to this, so would speakers of Irish, Welsh, Norwegen, Finish, Danish, Spanish, Portugese, Polish, Estonian, Swaheli, Elvish, Klingon etc etc etc.

    I don't know where you are basing this, probably you're an English speaker and you don't want to understand all the angles of this, but let me tell you where I am basing it:
    They were offered their own localized environment when they bought the product.
    It was part of the deal to make the buy.

    Economically, they are so few that NCSoft is better off sacrificing them and saving the money.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    While I am not directly affected by it, I don't understand why you say all that.
    Ok, life is unfair, bad things happen, it's tough and all that, but you seem to like this situation...
    Like you're eager for this to happen...
  2. But what will happen to people not knowing English?
    It doesn't matter how game is built, they are entitled to their own servers so they can be sure that they can use their native language in all game aspects (including communicating with others in local, broadcast, etc...) and have GMs answering to them in their language.

    Are French and German GMs also forced to leave?

    Of course for servers to be kept, NC West must have people translating new game elements to French and German for every patch that comes out with new/changed text and of course they should translate the official announcements.

    I think this is a line that should not be crossed.
  3. Coincidence?
    Any word about Palladium or they are phasing out French and German servers in the process of cutting down expenses?
  4. If Kernesky didn't knew how much love is in this forum for him,
    he must begin getting a glimpse now!

    Ahh...
    No one said that will give their accounts or stop playing,
    don't confuse job positions with player accounts.
  5. The news are getting more sad by the time.

    I wish to those that are forced to leave, to find new jobs without much hassle and those new jobs to be so good, that will not mind them leaving (although it will mind us, as the empty space left behind will be unbearable).

    Whoever can fill RJ's and Aero's places?
    If K leaves, what will happen to German community (not to mention to the community in general)?
    Bridger is leaving too?

    This is totally sad.

    What about UK vs Euro prices?

    Forum Titles...

    Maybe (or hopefully) the next forum software (vBulletin, right?) will have a karma system so we can promote users that are helpful to the community?

    I will stretch it a bit further: Maybe put in place a post rating system at the new forum that will auto-hide posts that many people rated thumbs down after reaching a certain "rating floor" configurable by each user (like slashdot is doing for example).

    It will make your job easier and our reaction to bad posts better and faster.

    get rid of all Rooting

    [/ QUOTE ]This is NOT a QoL improvement but a GAMEPLAY CHANGE.
    Rooting is a restriction that is put there INTENTIONALLY by the developers, it isn't there because it's forgotten or bugged.

    Please stay on topic or open a new thread about it as it DOESN'T belong in this thread.
    Thank you.

    Prices In Euro's

    [ QUOTE ]
    Maybe because the VAT may not be included in the price ?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    But GR just said that VAT is included in the UK £ price, so you say they add double VAT for € EU price?

    Prices In Euro's

    [ QUOTE ]
    There are a lot of reasons associated with price discrepancies between the regions. Prices will be set by region to reflect numerous business considerations, and as such comparing prices through exchange rates that fluctuate frequently does not tell the whole story.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    That's funny because I swear that, when I buy something from a UK internet shop, they don't charge me the way NCEU does.

    Then let me quote this bit: "On the sites where voting is rewarded or mandatory, most people just give the same rating to all stories."

    [/ QUOTE ]
    /signed

    And here is an interesting article about ratings
  12. Ahem...
    Architect missions are binded to game contacts.
    They can't put all game contacts within the base...
  13. [ QUOTE ]
    It seems much better than it used to be, but the 3rd mission still has problems compared to virtually anywhere else - or at least it did in my ITF runs yesterday afternoon and late morning/early afternoon today.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Same here.
    Surely a bit better than before the fix, but too lagtastic for my taste (both times I did it last week)
  14. Search function on badge window.
    Similar to Consignment house search engine but for the badges.
    Maybe add an option to search for badges that haven't obtained yet too.

    One day a dev might actually have to read this thread and assimalate the suggestions from it just trying to save them a little time and effort.

    [/ QUOTE ]That's why I am trying to gather the actual QoL suggestions like I've said here.
  16. [ QUOTE ]
    And if the impersonator is just contacting them by text, then it doesn't matter how special looking the real GMs are.

    [/ QUOTE ]Exactly this!
  17. Red or not red title, if people don't know how to recognize a true GM, that won't do any difference.
  18. We need a photo of the alien to prove his existence.
    Um... of the GM I meant...
  19. We will see...
    No promises though.
  20. I'll blast around and take aggro for you, don't worry
