Should PS2 have a Russian server?

Theres no case for separate french/english/german servers , EU servers are always less populated than NA servers , spliting EU up even further is beyond dumb .

you sir are talking out of your backside .

Regarding russinas in apb ... Fuck apb it's anti cheat / anti hack team are a joke . They post there "stats" and "ban list" every few month to make it look like there pro active but there basicly not .

P.S Russians are some of my favorite guilds to fight in conquest based mmo's

We are talking PS2 here, not PS1. Recent MMOs show that there is actually a major demand for german and french servers and they get filled up, several of them in fact.

Just because a hack team is inactive or inefficient it doesn't change the difference between Russians or americans in hacking numbers. Or how English-speaking and russian-speaking collide in the game.

Edit: it is better if you use ******* in place of Romani because outside europe the name is not used a lot

Actually you didn't say that. Nationalism has always been and still is a plague upon Europe, and unfortunately every country has it's share of fools... We should unite like States at one point in future if we want to remain a world factor and not just a bunch of bickering states... imagine first United States of Europe... and soon after that a worldwide Terran Confederacy/Republic.

Term ***** is considered derogatory here... they prefer to be called Roma.

Edit: It's edit not Edith Piaf, I'm Grammar Nazy too.

European Union is almost falling apart due to the economic crisis, I don't see a European state happening anytime soon :P But I'm derailing now..

Add Russian servers at launch and people can choose what they want Or English and non-English servers..

I know it it is a derogatory term, and the italian-spanish word is Rom but since i have lived outside Europe i know that not everybody knows the word and you are forced to use the classical stereotype even if it is a bad one.

And thanks for the correction but it was a simple tying error.

Edit: And for the European union falling apart, we will emerge more united than before because if we don't get more united then it is a bye bye Europe economical first/cultural after.

NOT STARTING ANY POLITICAL/ETNIC post .

God damnit, don't start me on the *******...

[Maarvy]

People are making a big deal over what language someone speaks .

I've never found it a problem through a decade of playing on EU mmo servers , Starting on UO drachanefells onwards .

Is it realy offensive to people that someone use's there own language in open/global or there own closed guild chat ? ...

Too many choices isnt always a good thing players get used to playing on one server .

If they game isnt popular in lets say Outer Mongolia and you rolled your Avatar on "MONG1" and invested x amount of hours before the mediocre player base dwindeled out your gona be pretty pissed .

^ Being ridiculous of course .... But yeah no language specific servers IMO

My only experience with a decent amount of Russian players is on the World of Tanks test server. There they berate and TK people with EU or US at the end of their name for where they're from. Dont ask me why, but the russians in world of tanks are complete douchebags to everyone not from russia. It might just be that game, at least I'm hoping it is.

Separate Russian server from one side is good, because I will not to play with some chauvinistic idiots like topic starter, and from other side is bad because I won't be able to play with good guys like Mercs. And considering this two options I would rather tolerate playing with idiots and enjoy playing with good guys.

And on serious note, there will be no Russian server because player base will be very small. Also don't compare with WoT, WoT had huge promo campaign including TV ads on national channels in prime time. PS2 has no media coverage at all in Russia, even publisher of PS1 in Russia (Akella) will go bankrupt soon.

Oh, and it seems not only me will have to tolerate these chauvinistic idiots, but they will have to tolerate me as well; and when I imagine these butt-hurting faces I just can't stop laughing

Please give Brazilians their own portugese servers. They are a gigantic country anyway.

Thanks for info and for the different point of view, i didn't understood quite well which server you will join(EU no?). I wanted to ask some info. There is almost zero coverage of PS2 so if you had to guess do you think there will be a lot of pop from Russia?? PS2 will get some Wot pop? It will attract the same kind of player that you find in Wot test server(TK ones )? And what do you think of them?

Thanks in advance

There are 2 sites that write about PS2: one is major gaming portal (goha.ru) and our fan-site (ps2-ru.com). Audience on both of these sites is mostly PS1 players, and if there will be no additional effort from SOE it will be not larger that PS1 Russian pop (plus some part of social network of PS1 players). And of course, if PS2 will become really popular in the world it will attract much more Russian players. WoT players most probably will move to MechWarrior online, not PS2.
As for "quality" of player base, it will be the same as it was in PS1, usual Gaussian distribution with major part of casual zerg, minor part of hard-core players and another minor part of abusers.

They are idiots, all of them. Idiotism is inner state of human being (and other complex animals) and has nothing to do with nationality or even language. Have you even saw stupid cats, they don't have nationality, but still behave like stupid cats

Russia should be nuked.

So much hate for our people, when it's you Americans that should make separate servers for us. Eastern Europe has a LOT of gamers, they should be accounted for just as much as everyone else. If you don't like them than just don't play with them. And I did play APB, I remember that they were assholes, but its not like the rest of the APB community were saints. The entire APB community is full of trolls/hackers. I'm reading through some very shallow replies right now. Shame on you, Planetsiders, you're better than this.
