    Hey look at me, I'm SUPER offended... this game is based in America and everyone is speaking English! I have to speak a foreign language just to communicate with you people! As a representative of the native peoples I demand the ENTIRE BOARD immediate be changed over to Algic. Iroquoian would also be acceptable.

    Dang! I forgot to be offended that there is no Danish language forums!

    Oh wait... I'm NOT offended. IF there were Danish forums, I would still hang out on the English language forums so that I could communicate with players from around the world. English isn't the most widely spoken FIRST language in the world, Mandarin wins that title. But English is the most widely spoken SECOND language. People from all over the world learn English as a second language so they can communicate outside of their own borders.

    I don`t want to put more wood in the fire but here it goes:
    1- The reason that it as support to English, French and German it`s because they are the languages of the "old status quo".
    2- Having or not having a Castellano spoken forum was an option of TRION, good or bad that is another question.
    3- In all the south hemisphere the most spoken language is PORTUGUESE (Português) so why not a Portuguese Forum? Although most probably i`m the only portuguese guy playing this game

    Ps: Spanish people speak a large pletora of languages but none of them is called spanish, theyr official idiom is Castellano. And they have other languages like Basco, Catalãn, Gallego and at this momment don`t recall more, but there is none called spanish.

    That's not technically true mate, there are thousands of people who live in America and not one of them speak a word of English. It just depends in which part America that applies to of course.

    I assume when they say Spanish they are actually referring Mexican Spanish, español mexicano (only name I have ever heard for it...).. the derivative of Spanish spoken in Mexico.. which in most of the US is just called "Spanish" .. for the same odd reason we say we speak English, even though half the time I have no f'n clue what my British friends are saying online. The later of which always reminds me of this..

    Why do you think I linked it? ;D (Besides the fact that it has Klingon. I thought you might get a giggle out of it)

    Hadn't a clue about that since i've yet to notice a single Spanish speaking player till now.

    I always assume the NA Server was America and Canada.
    There are a few players that speak spanish playing the game...

    Have you seen Hergy, the German CM? He's a BIG guy. I know Trion must pay him a LOT just to keep him in food! (No offense ment to Hergy. IMO, he's one of Trion's best people.) Just saying forum support doesn't come free.
    Actually there are a few games that have different language sections and don't pay anything to keep them up.. just look for a moderator that speak english and the language of this section then if there is a problem the moderator contact with admin site or developers or do whatever it is authorized to do and he don't receive money or any other reward.

    Example: Egosoft forums there are a few languages sections and i know moderators and they told me that they dont won money, simply if there is a closed beta they can test it.. and nothing more

    I understand the Hispanic population breeds quicker than the Caucasian population, and their numbers will be higher in the near future, but currently, if you graduate high school, you have a good grasp of the English language, and if you do not graduate from school, you are technically uneducated, and I don't know what to say about your personal issues with the English language and trying to play a video game with your non-English speaking skill set the only ability at your disposal.

    But whatever, play it if you want and can, don't if you don't. This is a moot issue.

    EDIT:


    ENRISH ONLY!!!!
    Rats breed more fast.. so in the future there would be more like u.. sadly.. (and i'm referring to your avatar.. maybe)
