That may be the case for Turtle Staff, but it is not the case for us, the community. Respect has to be earned, and Flamefist's posts so far have indicated that they deserve 0 respect from the community they claim to be a part of while facilitating and abetting the destruction of the community.
I agree. But I am still just baffled by these posts. Like, I'd get it if they were region locking out all the Chinese. That'd be unfair, we've had Chinese players here for a long time and they weren't like these cancerous TikTok wave or wherever the fuck these new people came from. At worst those guys wouldn't respond, but if not for their guild names you would have no idea they were even Chinese. So they don't deserve to get banned. Same goes for expats living abroad who would truly be fucked by a region lock over no fault of their own.
But all this change is doing is making speaking English mandatory. And if you don't want to speak English, if you don't want to interact with the international community, GREAT NEWS: YOU WILL HAVE AN ENTIRE SERVER TO YOURSELVES, more or less. FREE OF CHARGE. AND YOU KEEP YOUR PROGRESS. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, EXACTLY?
If you want to stay on the English server, I have to presume that's because you actually want to meet people from all over, join different guilds, etc.
Your thought process should be: Wow, this is a nice server with good devs, I'm going to make a character and meet so many new friends! Not, wow, this is a non-Chinese server, better invite all my Chinese friends to a Chinese-only guild and then spend 99,99% of the time talking in Chinese.This sort of nationalistic attitude is borderline xenophobic.
Literally why do you even want to play here if that's your attitude? What do you want from us?
It's the strangest thing, Chinese both seem to hate other Chinese enough to actively avoid any Chinese server, yet when you do have a server that's open to you where you can play with people from all over, your biggest complaint is that you can't self-isolate and go on talking to only Chinese people beyond the occasional WTS or WTB.
This is a mentality fucked beyond repair.
