Too many Spanish people on Ragnarok?Follow

Can we please let this thread die out again?... this is childish... you have your own cultures/languages, and I have mine.

SE made this game so people from all over the world can play with one another. So different people of all different cultures can join as one for a certain goal. I'm sorry if a person ruined this experience for some people.

Please note that we were all new to this game when we started. You may of did a /random /shout for help when you were a low level. You may of asked someone to help you out with something you couldnt do yourself.

Remember that SE built this game so everyone works as one to achieve the fullest game enjoyment. You cant do everything "yourself" in the game. It takes a team or sometimes a few teams. And a team is something that everyone needs to work at in order for it to work out.

Now, lets just let this thread die out again...

I hope I made any sense?... My english is pretty bad too... \(^.^)/

Maybe because servers are in Japan and because JP ppl were the first ppl on servers ? =P Its normal they feels home on their server.

just my 2 gils : Yes a lot of spanish are noobs, yes a lot of spanish are gimped. But Im sure JP and NA ppl were both noobs and gimp when they started the game. Lets give them some time to see if they turn in good players. Thats what happened to JP and US so maybe it will be the same with spanish ppl in some months.

However, I have to say I cant deal with their "American ppl feel free to speak english, im spanish so i feel free to speak spanish." Like they ignore that english is the only legit international language. I'm not american, I'm not british, and as you can read, my english is far to be perfect. But I do speak english anyway because It would be some kind of disrespect to write this post in a language that 90% of ppl will not understand. I guess it should be the same for spanish ppl in FFXI.

I blame them to feel free to speak spanish on the server, like they sorta took over Ragnarok. But I dont blame them for being noob ( only a part of them ofc, some spanish are good old school players). If in 6 months there is still so many gimped and noob ppl in the spanish population I'll change my opinion about it, but i'm sure they'll do just fine.

Give them time.

I dont blame them to speak in spanish when its a /tell of course.
Im talking about /say /shout /p

About JP, its different, since those servers are hosted in Japan, since japanese were the first ppl on servers, its normal they use their own language.

I guess if FFXI was a spanish game, with spanish server and a 50% spanish population i would not blame them speaking spanish..

On a completely different note: it seems that my name literally means "crap" in one of the European languages. LOL. If I have to guess, I guess Spanish. (BTW, name is Kaga in-game)

On a super completely different note: if anyone here watches Iron Chef, the host dood is also named Kaga something. LOL. Talk about some major coincidences eh? :D

Thanks =)

I'm going to say this as nicely as possible. YOU ARE A TARD FOR USING GENERALIZATIONS. I know a few Spanish people in my LS and on my friends list, they are all great people and gamers. Have a nice day:)

im spanish 20 yo, i speak more and less english and french. im just lv 47 pld . try to understand we use " XD " or " jaja " like you use " lol " .. , its the same..
i have never speak spanish in party (well, when i have 4 spanish inside my party , maybe some " XD " ). I can keep hate better than a eng or *** pld of my lv, why? cause im tired of listening " spanish sux , spanish noobs" and i have done my best in being better to change this comments. just a question, we play since september 04, you play since 2002 or 2003.. in 2006 how many lv 75 spanish will be in ragnarok? i think more than 200, we will take the leadership, dont forget that.

Nice to meet u all loosers ;)


last thing, in lower jeuno there are a lot of stupid casinos on /shout , if i wanna salute a eng/***/spa/ger/ita friend i will use /say. its better "/say hello !" than "/shout CASINO´S XXXX 600+ 2X. 900 3X.. TRYY ITTTT, GOOD LUCKKKK"

Not all spanish spam in say/shout/emote, and other languages are also used to spam say/emote/shout.

As for every behavior, there are places and times where it is ok, and there places or times where it is not.

We all have a voice, but IRL, shouting is accepted ONLY in stadium - or similar spectacles places. Nobody would ever shout in a town's street, a shop, a train, a classroom, an office (except may be to prevent an immediat accident).

It goes the same in game : we have the /say, /emote, /shout command available all the time ; that doesnt mean we can use them anywhere.

The server's players have built habits : on Ragnarok, Teleport are to be adv / quested only in say, and only close to Lower Jeuno Mog house. That is where WHM operate. Everybody knows that, so shouting in Port or upper is useless, and /say is just enough.

Another server habit is to be as quite as possible whenever a large number of players are in sight. That includes AHs, or popular XP zones, Telepoints.

In towns, shouts are used only to adv the events : coffer keys, prom, ZM or such mission.

Now, a large number of spanish do not follow these "rules". That is also true for other countries, althought easily noticable when language is spanish.

So please, all, spanish or not :
-Never shout, but for trains or events ;
-Never say/emote, when you can see you will spam someone you do not talk to ;
-Move apart in a less crowed place when your roleplay implies say/em ;
-Tell to your friends, that they get quickly bad rep for spaming others ;
-Tell your friends, that the bad rep will fall upon all their country if they use a specific language.

WELL YEE HAW and SIEG HIEL lets find justification for xenophobia...next comes Eugenics. Plenty of people talk in /say, we all have the option to turn on filters. Every race, gender, sexual preference and religion that plays FFXI has done it. Cut the crap kids. If you want to make kissy faces at someone in emote or use /say to communicate - go for it - we can easily goto CONFIG CHATFILTERS and ignore it - it is not and WILL NOT be a reasonable explanation or excuse for prejudice.
WHo the hell are we to assume to dictate what is proper game behavior when we don't have the slightest understanding of what is proper in other cultures?
