So I just saw your most recent Announcement thing...

It said in plain English that all South American players are urged to go to the southern servers for better ping... I have one problem with this, You're urging in English to a bunch of Portuguese and Spanish speakers. I move that someone find the translation to this announcement and broadcast the same message in both Portuguese and Spanish, I think the results will be much greater than in English. I mean you can block Spanish and Portuguese swear words but you can't broadcast in their language? Surely someone on either the forums or even at z8 can speak fluent enough Spanish/Portuguese to come up with something.

  • Because this is an English game....
    They told everyone that lives in the south not just South Americans so...yeah.
  • No, read the announcement. It said, I kid you not, To our South American players. I can obviously read and speak proper English, so if they meant something else it should be worded better, like "To our players in the South:" not "To our Southern American players:" or "To our South American players:". I'm just saying, I think it's obvious the purpose of servers in the south was to cut down complaining about BRs and get them into better pinged servers, and to accomplish that they need to broadcast to a wider range of people. They don't exactly live in a "high class" country, English is more than likely not required for them in school. Therefore: Broadcasting in their native language furthers the effect of the southern servers. If you look at it now southern servers are practically dead. You get Brazilians and Peruvians, Venezuelans in there, Boom. You Make a server active, You make players happy. Win-win situation.

    Additionally, I know several people who have absolutely quit buying, or slowed down their ZP spending purely on the basis of laggers. Broadcasting for the Brazilians and Spanish players could do nothing but good for z8. 1: More money in their pockets. 2: More happy players. 3: More money+more happy players = more new players, etc.

    And should I have misread the announcement (I haven't seen it since to look at it again :/) It's still a good idea. Does no one remember how everyone was so excited for these southern servers, because it would "finally" mean less BR. They just probably can't read and/or don't know the geography well enough to know that a southern server is better for them.


    Either way, can't hurt to try. Comprende?
  • Okay so I did misread. It says players in southern america. MY BAD. Still, I don't know a single person in texas or florida who gets a high enough ping to constitute as lag.
