Should PS2 have a Russian server?

[Vashyo]

I have no problems with them, but their english has been lacking from what I've seen in games like Men of War (half of playerbase in the game is rus, lol) or APB, about every 10th russian atleast understands english to some degree, but won't necessarily choose to speak it. So it's allways russians playing by themselves and everyone else playing together cause the communication doesn't work.

logistically it can be a pain in the arse. But im sure we will know soon enough.

Well I guess the client could even be the same. Just make it a Russian-client as in it targets Russian servers. Or just Russian servers in the option menu could do the trick, I guess.

That would be politically correct but not statistically correct. When it's true that a majority of Russians do not speak English then you will have to label by nationality as that's the common factor.

It doesn't work like that. Files are stored on your PC. So when you download them they have to be Russian.

It works like that in other games, you download the main client and it will download the language-pack you need.

But I meant that they didnt need a Russian-language client. Simply a Russian client, that targets russian servers. The rest of the client is the same

Or simply Russian servers, should do the trick.

No language locks please! That would suck big time, however they should make EU (international - english) servers and national servers for big countries like Russia (russian), Germany (german), Spain (spanish) and France (french) in Europe. Speaking and typing in any language other than language official on that server should be punishable...a phrase or a word here and there should be tolerated but to use your mother language all the time on international servers should not be allowed.

British servers for British people. No continental mongrels please.

I think people should be able to play what ever server they want regardless of language. So if Russians have their own servers but the most bad ass Russian outfit wants to try their skills on a European or an American server, why not?
They should be allowed.

Now lets say my Russian outfit with a few other Russian outfits or players decide to up the competition and try a Euro server. Since our outfits and players select a Russian only chat we will not annoy the other players that do not read Russian.

What a war on Europe in which the British have not taken part in. Thats's unheard of.

[Visperas]

I think Spain should have its own server. We are a bunch of dirty treacherous hackers and we deserve a server. Actually, my neighbourhood is a hell-hole full of hackers, a server just next door would be cool.

Okay, ao we all agree that there should bw a Russian server, but Russian players should not be locked into it. Right?

No one should be locked up in regional server imo. That's just stupid.

Yeah. It should recommend or auto-select a Russian server but have a tiny little button in the bottom right corner that says "other servers"

you western europeans should just play on the U.S. servers with us americans and (likely) the aussies.

I played Star Wars: The Old Republic on release, me and my guild were placed on Tomb of Freedom Nadd(The devs placed guilds on certain servers to avoid over-population). Instead of sticking to their servers, the Russians, the Italians and the Spanish communities all decided to jump on this server making my time on the server thoroughly miserable as there was usually conversations in several different languages all going on at the same time in chat plus there were massive queues.

I really hope SOE give the Spanish, the Italians, the Russians etc. their own servers because otherwise they will flood English servers in large groups, and as soon as they mass in any sort of number then they stop talking in English and usually act rude & aggressive to those who are not of their nationality.
