For technical reasons this will also mean Russian is going to have its own separate game client, similar to what happened in The Burning Crusade."

How this will stop me from dowloading EU client and playing on EU realms?

>have to play on the same servers as Frenchfags Nein, verdammt. Scheiße.
Mason Sanchez
for non-euros that don't understand what this means: EU always and "international" servers, and local servers for various languages. But forcing people on an international server, will make people talk in only their language in public chat. Some will stick to English, but others you did not want to play on an IS, will keep to themselves. There will be German/French/Spanish guilds, and it will be one big mess. Unlike the traditional IS.

>Russian is going to have its own separate game client
If they are not region blocked it won't matter too much. Russians either hate themselves so they play on EU realms, or they hate you, so they play on EU realms. It just pure malice, they won't give a shit about separate client of they can still access EU servers. It would help if Blizzard banned at least Cyrillic letters.
Zachary Cook
Lol the outrage in the forums is gonna be glorious

i'll tell you what will happen on Aug. 27th at 00:00 am CET: >Servers go live and instantly shit themselves because Blizazrd Data centre cant handle logins. >Those lucky few that get in will be thrown out after 15 minutes because pajeet Sysadmins don't fucking know how to handle high traffic, so super expensive external consultants will have to be hired. >9:00am CET: Servers have been down the whole time, Battle.net Eu is down, as well as all account services, webservices and so forth. People are assmad. >Blizzard announces free game time for classic players and Servers won't be up for another day or something stupid. >Servers finally work but everything is layered out the ass for whatever reason. >Shitflinging in chat starts and the two gms in charge of Europe commit Sudoku because they just can't handle the bantz. >Designate unofficial servers didn't work properly as names and layers got mixed up by pajeet and the external consultant has already a hard time getting people to log in without the datacentre shitting istelf. >Fast forward one week. Classic still barely playble, US is the same story in green, servers are unstable as shit. >J.Allen Brack makes an announcement: "Dear players, we hard you. I said you think you do, but you clearly don't. See? Classic is just not the game you wanted. We're not getting additional Servers, we're also not going to make national Servers for the European region. The game is just not the great hit everyone hoped for." >Real ID Forum shitcontest 2.0 starts, Blizzard is in the news again for incompetence.
Mark my words. This will happen. Blizzard is the most inept company in gaming after valve and does not have a moneyprinting machine anymore to cover their failures.
Adam Russell
Did they even have language based realms in retail vanilla? I only remember the server name, type and population being shown. I unwittingly joined the de facto Portuguese server and didn't even notice until I hit endgame.
James Lopez
Oh come on, fuck this. Classic is all about the community and this goes completely against that. Seperation by language is necessary, otherwise we'll only get toxic behaviour and a split community. The chat will be filled with German, French, Spanish, English, Polish and so many more languages, it'll be a complete clusterfuck. Way to fuck this up, Blizzard. Should've known better. Fuck.
Ryan Thomas
Have you checked the Battle.net forums lately? the english Eu is getting spammed with sauerkraut and baguette slurs, the german thread of the announcement has already reached 5k+ replies (only subscribers can post) and the US classic forums are also invaded by screaming yuros.
Bentley Cook
Can't wait to stomp germans, french and spaniards who haven't had decent competition until now.
Jose White
Based. Maybe frogs and krauts will finally learn to speak American.
Jayden Harris
We have the same sub for eu and ru realms. I can play BfA on eu realms right now, i just need to change client language.
Adrian Lee
Bad news. If that's a thing we'll end up having designated frog/kraut/spaniard/whatever servers. All I can do is cross my fingers not to end up on one of those. Or play on NA but my retard EU buddies won't join me. I'm french but I hate seeing random announces in any non-english language on the general chat of english realms. Retards that can't stick with english. It's just annoying.
i dunno I liked raiding in an eu guild on private server. we had all nationalities speaking bad english in our own shitty accents it's actually pretty comfy. language based realms just isolate people and prevent from communities like I mentioned from forming.
Noah Ward

Daniel Sullivan
Have you played any recent expansions on live? They're fairly smooth these days.
I've marked your words down as "nah", but that's the best I can do.
Jose Martin
The solution is simple. Kill anyone who won't or can't speak English.
Landon Smith
>English >German >French >Italian >Spanish >Some 3rd world languages >All in one chat Kek. gg, Blizzard.
Cooper Rodriguez
everyone knows at least barebones english in 2019
Levi Martinez
Yes, but the people who know their barebones english are too fucking lazy and retarded to make the giant effort to speak it and would rather fall back on their various languages instead. Which is understandable in a way, but still.
Camden Roberts
fuck off shill
John Watson
good thing this is classic so they will be forced to communicate
Nathaniel Adams
Doesn't everybody know at least basic English these days? I mean my written English is terrible, but I (have to) understand university/scientific papers in English.
Ian Anderson
I will be there and I will gank your ass.
Kayden Thomas
Thank fuck, Russian scum are back on their containment servers.
Brayden Miller
They did.
Gabriel Russell
You're right. But I would still prefer to speak my own national language in the game.
Gavin Anderson
Most Russians don't speak English.
Jaxon Richardson
yeah with their fellow subhumans who will all roll on the same server and ruin it for the rest of the server
Hunter Cook
Why not just have realms for people who can speak English and realms for people who cant
Liam Sullivan
Holy shit, I don't want to play with frogs. t.frog, I can't be the only one like that, I'm sure there's someone else like me
Luis Sanchez
now project this onto guilds. My English is decent, but I might still give a German guild the benefit of the doubt. And they are more likely to take every German applicant as well. Even though I don't care THAT much.... the chance of making friends from my own nation ingame, is a chance I would not give up on for no reason. So this probably means.... guilds will be divided by language. And some will say "Dutch mandatory, only Dutch people". See the problems now?
Alexander Butler
Yes. Frogs on frogs servs are actually alright... But the moment you put them on an international server they become the most caustic retarded pieces of shit the world has ever known.
Lincoln Wright
Yeah on who gets the loot since everything else is piss easy
Mason Gutierrez
Can't blame you user, am frog and haven't played on french servers for years in many years because of the lack of, dare I say, intellectual capabilities of my fellow countrymen.
this. the community will split up because of blizzard's stupid decision. that goes completely against everything Classic should be.
Christian Wilson
I've played enough FF14 with frogs to know that this is going to turn everything into a huge fucking shitfest.
Joshua Lee
Written English is perfectly fine for me but I never really have to actually speak it. Understanding others who are in the same boat isn't easy either.
Andrew Nguyen
Enjoy your layering cucks
Dylan Cook
They do on a basic level. Enough to communicate in vidya.
Ethan Martin
бэйзд aнд pэдпиллeд
Liam Hernandez
>SAVED more like killed. fuck Blizzard.
Alexander Cooper
They do nowadays, but they're either too proud or too dumb to speak it, just like the frogs. t. cykablyat
James Smith
As a russian i really dunno what to do. Russian guilds are really shit with "do or die" raid calendar(at least thats my Nostalrius experience), also average guild player was not being able to speak English at even basic communicate forms, so thats why they went to Russian guild. At some point, i'm very bad at pronouncing part, since i almost never had actual talking with foreigners. Also, i feel like timezones will also kill any chances for me to raid with EU. Well, probably will stick with EU anyway, if price will be same. Better than playing with own kind.
We don't want to play with the russians, the russians do not want to play with us. Just like *every other multiplayer game literally to have ever been* has proven so far. This is fantastic news and makes me even more excited for vanilla.
Not russian but I'm EU and terrible at pronouncing too, it's okay bro none gives a shit.
Alexander Brooks
Coucou, vous pouvez parler français svp ? Merci hihi
Grayson Nguyen
>fuck wow classic for the entire Europa >IT'S SAVED fuck off retard
Noah Williams
tg retard go surrender on /int/ or something
Caleb Fisher
poor indie company can't pay for more servers :(
Lucas Garcia
>An exception will be made for the Russian language But I don't want to play with other Russians... And I especially don't want to play with a Russian client, those translations are a fucking travesty, only making it worse when I want to discuss something about the game with a non-Russian, because those morons translate even names. Also bullshit it has to do with Cyrillic alphabet. It's because they don't want a second Warsong.
Elijah Perry
>Russia isolated again But I like to play with my kurwa brothers.
Alexander Bell
literally no point to pay a sub if they are not going to bother to add language realms
Colton Williams
Nach Frankreich fahr ich nur auf Ketten.
Owen Robinson
HUEHEUHEUEHUE
Chase Bennett
Everyone should try who can sperg the hardest on these servers
My bet is still on the russians
Daniel Gonzalez
If you're a cool dude, nobody will care. People will even remember you easier.
