Re: Confusion about New Europe Realm

When the second EU server will be overrunned by chinese, what will we do then ?
Open a third one ?

Fifth ?

Choose a durable solution. Ban chinese IP from the EU server.

Re: Frustration over the current situation of TWOW

I don't understand why chinese players don't have the basic politeness and decency of writing to other players in english. I'll say it again, english is not my language, mais je ne suis pas quelqu'un de déshonorable et honteuse qui écrirait dans ma langue natale que personne ne comprend au lieu de f...

Re: Frustration over the current situation of TWOW

I agree with OP and am convinced the real solution is to ban non-occidental IP from connecting to the original server ; and symmetrically to ban non-russian IP form the russian server, and non-chinese IP from the chinese server.

To force players with a regional lock.

Re: Turtle WoW is full - Position in queue 500+

They could always open a new general realm Even if they did do that, it almost always ends up dying out because new players still choose the more populated realm, and the less populated realm just keeps losing population.

Effort gives meaning to reward ; no effort no feeling of accomplishment. The quest is fine as is, also because there are not many like it so it's a nice change of pace during the leveling.
