As an American company, and Lost ark is Korean, I feel they both don’t get why having language tags on servers are very important.
Europe is, to be blunt a tinderbox of differing nations and languages, some outright hostile to eachother based on literally over a thousand years of conflict. I read the forums of some servers declaring ’ This is for Germans/English/Italians only and for some reason Amazon thinks all nationalities will get along all together on a single server … That just won’t happen, there will always be friction (usually idiots and bigots causing the friction), that’s why I was an advocate for language labeling of servers ( even though that doesn’t always help, Scottish, Irish, Welsh and the English often have hate for each other).
Exactly this, I really don’t understand why it would be hard to add some text to the servers. These unofficial language servers are a joke and you would only have found out about it if you would’ve been active on the forums. 90% of players arnt and I only started looking AFTER I figured it out.
Just look at all the forum posts complaining about the language’s on the EU servers… A lot of language’s can mix but there are some that are outright toxic and dont even want to try and speak English. You know exactly which languages im talking about lmfao. But yeah its a clusterfuck, I already lost 2 names duo to deletion of previous characters (theyre locked not stolen) and changed to Zinnervale but theres a HUUUUGE queue there so that also really sucks.
