RE: Only English language rule

Chatto89

Ok...im gonna be straight forward... no offense to the GM's or anything, but this "only English language" rule is really disrespectful if you ask me...  i am very offended about even though English is like a 1st language to me... i don't know about other countries, but in my country it is very disrespectful to not respect a foreign persons language/habits etc. trust me if i would have a guest in my home and i'd say to him "listen..you can only be here if you speak this language" my dad would walk up and slap me in my face and ask me to apologize. It may sound funny but whatever, think what you want.

But imagine that tomorrow they would decide "hey, lets make Hungarian the official ZO language" how the hell would you guys feel? i would be the only one on both servers speaking the language, and you guys would know jack about Hungarian, and therefore would have no chance in life to speak with me, and because of that you would be punished, or "silenced". fun huh?

Anyways, i know why we have this rule and all, but i personally think this rule killed a part of ZO..i loved logging in seeing ppl talking in Phili, Chinese or any other language, even tho i did not understand it was fun to ask them what it meant. I know they wont change the rules because there are too many of you that will complain and cry about the multicultural Zo (and that's the truth) but in the end i feel sorry for the people who dont know basic English.

I would also like to add something to those ppl iv seen commenting other peoples English with comments such as;
"you suck, go learn English"
"ONLY ENGLISH PLEASE IN WORLD CHAT" etc etc
I find you guys to be very disrespectful & annoying.
