      Yeah, I think the devs should do more. They claim the majority are English-speaking, which may be true, but the Chinese community is definitely the largest sub-group otherwise. If most of them could communicate in English, it would've been fine, but it's usually empty chat boxes, no responses and doing stuff on a whim. It's just very annoying and makes me ironically feel more lonely when I'm surrounded by players I can't communicate with. More of them need to move to the SEA servers.

    the community on all the private servers right now is abhorrent. The chinese afk bots in Netherwing TBC and the rude ninja looting latin players in Mistblade MOP. Not worth playing at all. there used to be some cool ppl on MOP but i am sure they all left by now. i used to raid with the latins even tho i dont speak spanish and could pretty much guess what they are saying and it has never been a problem for me. The latin players left on MOP mistblade are some of the rudest people I've met online, it's why I don't even play anymore.

    I went back to classic era after months of private servers due to the fact even if a server has a good population, it's actually like 1/3 of the total population due to how many non english speaking players there are. Gummies felmyst was NA/Europe with english enforced and no p2w with great scripting, I find it odd that it failed so hard, almost like the pserver community prefers megaservers with p2w and gold selling at this point. (Felmyst staff definitely made some mistakes though)

    • @OPEK.
      @OPEK. ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Gummies was an elitist server that’s why it died. There’s nothing wrong with being good. Or your group of friends being the best on the server. But don’t push the entire community away because “us vs them” Now it’s just “us” and them is off having fun on a casual server like people should do in video games. Have fun..

  • @musse4851
    @musse4851 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I'm gonna be 100% real. Blizz shutting down the chinese servers pretty much dealt the final blow to the (already) decayed wow private server community. Most devs are either too greedy to fix the issue, or too incompetent to set their own servers. And then we have all those small custom servers that will split the few remains even more. So unless you wanna learn mandarin, I'd suggest to move on. It's been fun, we played for +15 years and times change, so at least we move on bringing with us all those good memories we made along the way.

Also, I've played a little on spanish speaking servers with friends and the playerbase and the staff are not great for numerous reasons.

      I do think that the flat out refusal to speak English in multinational online spaces does correlate with some degree of sociopathy. I'm not a native English speaker, I'm Polish, and whenever I meet Poles who are like that - obnoxiously unwilling to acknowledge that they are not in a Polish-only online space and they should speak English - 99% of them are also unpleasant, toxic, vulgar or just outright undiagnosed sociopaths. Normal people just adopt English as the common tongue and don't make a big deal out of it. I do think that this attitude of linguistic chauvinism is linked with anti-social behaviour. I usually just block people like this, to me it's a warning sign that these probably aren't the people I want to interact with.

      I've seen around a couple times ppl that dont want to speak english bc they actually dont know the language and justify it with nationalism or "american imperialism bad". Its not that I cant understand valid arguments going in that direction, but in these cases its usually the frustration of not speaking english due to how bad english class is (or the ed. system in general).

    China should be banned, but ironically their players are keeping servers like Netherwing alive. Without them the server would probably have 1k or less online now because people rush the content and quit. I was playing during summer and the english playerbase was abysmally small and inactive. Big guilds basically raidlogging and it was impossible to gather up a fresh one; even heroics were dead.
    As for chinese, many of them were botting dungeons and crafting materials. In the end though, I dont think server owners care - china means more money from webshops and a huge pop boost to sustain their servers.

    I played on Turtle for at least a year. I stopped months ago because of the population influx.
    It started with me not able to finish a single quest in a reasonable amount of time because so many low level characters everywhere.
    Then the queue was introduced. Which was a huge downside for me. Because I work all day and I wanna play in the evenings. The fact that I have to wait to play is not acceptable as someone who has a normal job.
    And then theres the Chinese issue. I wanna actually talk to people. Even the Russians on Turtle speak English. The overwhelming majority of these Chinese just dont. And they dont seem to care.
    I LOVE the Turtle WoW content. But what is now the "community" just made it impossible for me.

      As a tip, chrome remote desktop is great for queues. Just get on your phone an hour or so before you head home. Can even set a simple macro to click every few minutes as well so you're not waiting for hours and hours to play.
      I was half tempted to try this server but I'm glad I saw this. I tried to play a tbc offiicial server, the faction ratio was 3:7 and 90% of the people on that server either spoke spanish or chinese due to being little parasocial streamer followers that followed two streamers.

  • @jonathanhawken

    The problem is, they are very happy to only include themselves. If they have enough numbers, they dont need us. Thats the whole point, if you take turtle wow for example. Type /join china, they just stay within themselves and do a large portion between themselves. Theres no integration, thats the worst part, there is no want or need to involve themselves with us westerners on western servers. I do feel bad that they have no servers (except turtle wows new server) but these are EU crafted servers for EU players, they decided amongst themselves that they would arrive, in large volumes, and sure you dont need permission to join, but when you arrive in thousands, it kinda becomes a problem. I wouldnt care so much if they atleast wanted to assimilate with us, but they have no interest in westerners, and we are just a bother to them in our own servers.

    It always comes down to an IP ban argument. I am of the opinion that there should be a blanket ban on those IP ranges for English-speaking communities. The language barrier just puts too much of a chokehold on gameplay. It is impossible to teach poor players how to improve, and you cannot coordinate in group activities even if they are experienced. Even the introduction of new SEA servers (and transfers from EU to them) for Turtle WoW seems not to have changed a lot and there are still many Chinese players on the EU server. It is particularly an issue when it comes to PvP, as gearing and game knowledge are critical to a team's success. Yet still, I am paired with players who I cannot even explain to them why wearing leather and dual wielding as a warrior is a bad idea.

    I have been on Netherwing for around 2 months now, although it's obvious that the Chinese community is abundant on the server. I genuinely can't recall many events where language has been a barrier. I have found many English-speaking guilds which are active and raiding and i really do believe it's more about actively making an effort to connect with similar individuals. They are there if you're looking to connect. Overall - Netherwing has been a remarkable and refreshing look back at tbc for me and the Asian community has had more merit to the experience than a negative for me. I'm from the UK . :D

    A Chinese realm would be the best solution.
    I'm a Chinese living in Japan and I stop playing turtle wow because of the hour long queue. Switch to netherwing and found that the client don't support Chinese. I can't type Chinese and when I group for quest all I see is bunch of "?????". I don't know how mainland players bypass that and It's annoying even for me.
    My thought is that if you want to play at a server not intended for you, at least try to learn some of language and try your best to communicate.
    PS: I tried to search "Bots on netherwing TBC server“ after I found some bots outside shatt killing everything. Guess what I found, some forum dedicated to botting in WOW, and An English speaking forum.....So I think it's not that all gold seller are Chinese but most bot user are targeting Chinese players. Chinese game market have a unhealthy trend of pay to win and pay to convenience for many years. It's not just a wow thing.

But I met a lot of amazing people on CircleWoW that even if they barely spoke English they tried, I've also been in a lot of raids with Russians who didn't mind giving me instructions in English when I needed them.

    There may be another option. On some private servers (e.g. trinity) you can limit the character set which can be used to e.g. latin only. That would force people to use basicly a-z only. Granted, this does not help with the spanish players, but it could help a bit.

Being able to properly communicate in english requires a minimum of either real world education or dedication to the game, which is why I am willing to bet that the average IQ on english/mixed language realms is higher than it is on dedicated realms for a certain language.

    Oh stop. Netherwing isn't "overrun by chinese players," it is becoming overpopulated. If you're playing in TBC you are farming...just like everyone else. It doesn't matter what the nationality is of the person farming, because you are either doing it or not. "Effects in terms of community"? Who are the most toxic people? It isn't the Chinese that aren't bothering you at all. Who gives you problems in dungeons? in raids? Not the Chinese because they are not in there with you, and if they are, they just do it and emote. How about in open world? If you link a quest, chinese people will do it with you and they won't say diddlysquat. they just do it. I have bumped into random Chinese in the open world all. the. time. and had ZERO problems. Guess what, I bump into random guys from the other faction all the time too, and the fact that we can't communicate doesn't hinder our ability to either be dicks to each other or not. If population is the problem, a second server is the solution. If it's "the Chinese," then you are the problem.
