well, it was ment sloppy...and not offensive, but imho german language is not made for "evil alien names". but thats only my opinion. the translation of hellbug in 1:1 would be tooo cute, and would me make to want cuddle it instead killing....Originally Posted by Dihydrogen Monoxide
Now that's an intriguing comment!
Do you mean disgusting as in "bad" or "sloppy"?
Or do you mean as in "gross" or "offensive"?
Please share, I find translation error humor rather entertaining.

Really? LOL! I already think they're kind of cute!
Seriously though, yeah I suppose that some types of names just "fit" better in some languages.
I think that's probably why they changed the name of the Hellbugs for the French version.
Have you considered getting with the other German players to suggest better names to the devs in the forums? Even if it's not a translation, maybe just cooler sounding "nicknames" in German would work.
It might help it's appeal in the German market.

Didn´t "bug" in american also mean "cockroach"? Then the german word for hellbug could be "Höllenschabe"...oh no no.. let it be HELLBUG too, that sounds good in german. Publishers do too much ugly things for us german players
and BUSDRIVER: Thanks, mate

o.0 new codes..... and I can't enter them because my "my-ego" page this morning doesnt seem to be recognising any input whatsoever from any web browser on my pc
Edit - or apparently any other pc
Well I found for me that I'd click the button, and it would pretend it hadn't done anything, but if I logged out and back in again it then updated my code count by 1. So it probably did register the ones you tried DrNoesis. It's just being a bit quirky today...
sadly no, that's not sorting it. I can't figure out if the site is just being obscenely slow or what, but I've tried now on my desktop, mobile phone, my work ipad and a laptop i'm repairing in the office - just can't get it to apply any codes today
EDIT: Ok, really weird.... I cant get it to accept actual codes, as it just clears the text box and does nothing, and my trion acc maintenance page doesnt list any code activations in my transaction logs that would relate to it, but if I enter an incorrect code, it'll tell me immediately that it's an invalid code, and reusing old codes gives the usual "You have already submitted this code" message.
