We actually had one of those once. It was a player-run event. But then we found that we couldn't legally use the word "Olympics" and still have it supported by NCsoft, and things fell apart after that.|

Hey!!! I'm bilingual, well multi-lingual, but predominately English and Spanish.
If that's true, I'm glad. I used to be able to team with people at all times of the day, and many of them were from the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. Now there are many dead times on the servers, and they are of course, the hours that I can play.

Usually used after the reveal of a plan, "So we do this and, bob's your uncle, we score ourselves some nice loot."
The full phrase, atleast in my area is usually, "as sure as Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt."
Fanny being an old english name here...not what you filthy, filthy Americans use it for.
Filthy!

I wonder how many altoholics will be taking crash courses in French and German so that they can make full use of all the new slots on those two servers.

* With the infusion of North Americans on their servers, all those who don't speak english will make sure they know AT LEAST two english words prior to teaming for the first time.... "Speed Boost"

The full phrase is, indeed, "Bob's your Uncle and Fanny's your Aunt", though to be accurate "Fanny" is a female forename - it is only relatively recently that it has come to mean something... else... that is not what the filthy, filthy Americans use it to mean.
At work we used to have a (now deceased) customer called Fanny Tickler. Which should be pretty funny on either side of the pond.
Though not as amusing as the gentleman whose full name would get me in trouble with the moderators. But his first initial was F, his middle name was Yu and his surname was Man.

If the Devs had any sense of humor they would tell us that those binds said "I'm from America... I only speak English" but in reality those binds would actually say something like "I'm an ugly American and don't care about your silly language" in the respective European languages. Just watch the good times roll from that. |

Hey Steelclaw, is this going to affect your meta-game? Are you going to have to restart, or can you absorb something like this without a complete reboot?
I would like to add one thing:
It's soccer, NOT football !
So, the EU and US servers are merging... here's a few predictions of what might come from it.
* New US Independence Day Annual Event - EU Servers are granted access to the US Servers and Ouroboros so they can correct that little "Tea Party that got out of hand" mistake. US Servers must defend against this attempt to alter time by journeying back to colonial days and clicking as many tea box glowies as they can.
* Creation of a Key Bind that says "I'm from America... I only speak English" in every European language. An alternate keybind will be created for those in the southwestern United States which says "I'm from America... I only speak Spanish."
* Canadians will be given access to special protest emote where the sign will read "It's the freaking NORTH AMERICAN server!! Not the US server go**ammit!"
* The United States will be introduced to the most dangerous and vicious PvP zone in the history of the game... British Parliament.
* In an effort to establish global harmony, the devs will create a City of Heroes version of the Olympics. Super Speedsters compete in running events, Super Jumpers in Long and HIgh Jump competitions... Each Archetype will have its own events. Medals will be handed out to the winners. All hard caps will be removed for the event... so you can finally see what your character could REALLY do... right before you leave the zone and get capped yet again.
* After all these years, we here in the North American servers will finally learn that the 5th Column in the EU servers are charicatured stereotypes of "American Capitalist Dogs" who are all over weight, lazy and have a negative perception score whenever a television is on in their general vicinity.
