imageWorld of Warcraft: Classic Realms Will Not be Divided by Language - MMORPG.com

The World of Warcraft Classic forum has been updated with a brief post detailing the structure of the EU realms for Classic. There will be a number of PvP, PvE and Roleplaying realms available, but there will be no division based on language. The only exception is that Russian realms will feature their own download client (as they do on retail) due to the use of the Cyrillic alphabet.

    Silly. Players will eventually decide on unofficial language servers anyway. All that's going to happen here is group frustration at launch and players having to restart on different servers at some point.

    "We think this approach will give players more freedom to move around to where they want, and find guilds and friends that best match their interests."

    I think they mean force them to move around and make it harder to find friends and guilds.

    Personally, I prefer multicultural servers. But I'm not looking forward to the "SPEAK ENGLISH" flame wars in chat that we used to have in the good old days.

    I never really understood language-locked servers in the first place; takes away at least one aspect of potential player-made content (same-language guilds)...

    We should be able to learn and speak other languages, beginning with Merloc.

    there is even a language skill in game... pity it was never really used in order to learn other races' languages (simply serves as a boolean trigger for text encryption in chat)

    Why ridiculous? EVE is set up much the same including evil Ruskies and now S. Koreans I think in the mix, good times indeed.

    Guess that means razersharp focus to see where some of the dominant anti-english servers will be established (french, german, spanish and indeed russian communities tend to be all destroying).

    Well there will be layering so I doubt it'll be a long term 'issue.' They could just layer people of a certain language preference so it seems like you're always with people of said language.

    Lol layering and now "we won't be opening extra language servers because we don't want to, we think this game is a trainwreck already and are reluctant to invest in extra servers" but wrap it up as good news. Oh boy. What next?

    How many serves are they going to have? If there is one way to dilute a player base and drive it into the ground it is too many servers.

    Layering essentially was 'created' to 'combat' that according to the devs.

    I read that and thought they meant players from Horde and Alliance could understand one another in chat and was about to be all like: "NOT CLASSIC!!!" ;)

    Private servers work that way and grew so rapidly that we now have Blizzard making the game so they do not lose control of their own IP.

    It sounds like you can't comprehend anything outside of the spoon feeding that has been pushed to you. Multiple language and regional inclusion has been done many times before and simply because your limited experience in life can't comprehend the idea, it doesn't mean the universe will suddenly collapse. The reasons why businesses choose to go one way or the other is often driven by many factors outside of your binary thinking.

    US servers will be housed in the US, EU in the EU. It's pretty much how it is already in retail.
