Whats up with this!? - DMSOrg - 07.03.2009

OK, we all know the foreign servers are on the rise, especcialy taking from the fact that four servers that are outside like the U.S./Britian/Canada are on the official list (Lithuanian FR, Russian Server, LittleWhiteys and West Side Rpg) but what I dont get is why people are writing their server names in english and you log on and it says something like "Merhaba, Americans are the Best Server. Bir hesabınız var, bu yьzden web sitemiz ve kayıt gitmeliyiz hayır . Umarım en kısa zamanda gцrьşmek dileğiyle." I realize that they're free to do whatever they want, but wouldnt it make more sense to write their server name in Turkish or Polish or whatever their server language is?

Ask THEM.

Nah yeah I agree with you. If they're gonna use a language they should stick to it and not switch between the two making it confusing. Or...and this'd take a long time but...the server script could have multiple language options, but that's up to the server owner.

English Name = More players [Im guessing.]
Which works for about 5 minutes then everyone leaves when they find out they've been lied to.

If servers are hosted in countries other than USA, UK or Canada it does not mean that they are foreign. Two of those servers: littlewhiteys and west side RPG allow people to use different languages and do not have rules which forbid people from using them.

That wouldn't take long at all, there are scripts available with inbuilt multi language support.
It would in my opinion. I doubt there are scripts around that support multi languages and have every possible word / phrase in every language in the world. Writing a game mode, with every word / phrase supporting more than one language would take a considerable long time. I know, because I've done it myself.

Lithuanian Free-Roam has English and Lithuanian languages.
