The only thing that is bothering me is the lack of a common launguage. You go to NCR: people speak polish, russian(mostly) and even swedish.
I mean the russians for example have their own server where english is forbidden. so cant we have a server where the only language for interaction is english?
and ps. sorry for my bad english :)
btw. where can i get a new guns and bullets magazine. Some fuck stole it from me.

when I asked for help, I helped without hesitation and without looking at what has helped the Englishman.
Why when I ask for help at the forum, I get 0?
why when we drove vertiberd administrator simply erased it without giving fly?
why in the test of protection in Jinktaune was killed only people with money (130000) for the base?
why they have not returned (I asked)?
because I'm from Russia and do not understand English.
you are sure that after such a dishonest game I'll benevolent?
Conversely, I have a desire to become worse than I was before.
if my honest money do not want to return, I will have to earn money in another way.
no problem? Yes, but now you will have more problems, even from 2 people.
Why do not you want to be a man and not be afraid so Russian?
a lot of chatter about discrimination, but English is put above everything.
is not a threat, it is a fact.

Well, how exactly removing/punishing/whatever everybody who cannot or refuses to use English, will help you interact with them? If you can't interact with someone who can't speak English, you even more won't be able to interact with them if they are on TLA. Your argument doesn't make any sense.
It's not like different languages limit your freedom, they give you more OPTIONS. You can talk to those people, but you don't have to.
>> Server pure english is boring
> Why ?
It's not that it's boring, it's just less interesting. Trying to communicate with someone without common language is interesting interaction on its own.
Kaelara:
If people want to be realistic about the entire post-apocalyptic NORTH AMERICAN survival mmorpg, then I would have to agree that having a ton of Russians or other foreign peoples running around what is left of the United States speaking THEIR OWN native tongue is a little bit far of a stretch isn't it?? ((When did they get here? they drop bombs?How'd they all come to run around the country like this? xD))
Now, having said that... Racism, is bad mmm-kay!? BUT there are mutants, ghouls and just general crazies (( meaning they the npc's))that will not hesitate to kill you either ((or give you a warning in ANY language))... There are an even amount, I think, of foreigners(( ie Russians,Polish,Icelandic,Norwegian etc..)) and even english speaking Americans that do not care what language you speak, they just want your shit... seriously, you will die O_O.
I hate seeing people speaking a language I dont understand too, especially when I am wondering if their huge group of Russians are going to kill me again, but it's the way the game is...
I also hate to admit it, but having that kind of language-driven paranoia is exactly what this game needs to make it more "authentic" feeling and realistic.
N'est ce pas?
Archvile:
It amazes me that surely there are people, which would call you a racist for calling someone "a fucking nigger" or "a stinking jew" just for kicks, but at the same time it bothers them, that some people are using their own language.
As for "language realism", there's really such a shitload of things that don't make sense in this game either in relation to the real world or game lore, that the language issue should be the last anyone should care about.
And just for reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California#Languages
--- Quote ---As of 2005, 57.59% of California residents age five and older spoke English as a first language at home, while 28.21% spoke Spanish. In addition to English and Spanish, 2.04% spoke Filipino, 1.59% spoke Chinese (which included Cantonese [0.63%] and Mandarin [0.43%]), 1.4% spoke Vietnamese, and 1.05% spoke Korean as their mother tongue. In total, 42.4% of the population spoke languages other than English.
