A Lack Of English Players?

[Kiwihawk]

Hello Arcane legend players, now ive started playing AL a lot more and ive noticed(Along with my friends) that there is alot of non english players. It Always Feel strange when im in the Auction because i cannot ever understand what anyones saying. Now im not saying this is a bad thing im just wondering if anyone has also noticed this?
:kiwi-fruit:

[keikali]

Ni hao.

[Fauksuras]

Yeah, its true. Nothing wrong with it, just really noticeable.


If they say "sir" at any point most likely not a native English speaker.

[Puntus]

Welcome to 2014!

Yeah Theres nothing wrong with people speaking there language, just kinda hard to understand players in town if youre trying to buy things

[Spyce]

Ni hao.

[Flamberge]

Ni hao.

[moot]

99% of the players are filipino.

[csyui]

Lmao, so many "ni hao"s.
But I believe there must be one Chinese out of six players.

[faefaefae]

Ni men hao

[Energizeric]

Nah, they say "sir" when they want to beg for money LOL

Well nothing new really since sts games are available in so many platforms (pc, ios, android).

It is interesting to see the evolution.
When sts 1st game came out, PL was only on Ipad1. Population was very lively and english was mainstream.
Now the players we find are quite younger and majority have poor english.
If u are a grammar extremist, AL its not a place for you lol.
I do think sometimes its a pain to trade or trying to explain how to play to a non fluent english kid.
What I do hate are player name badly written.

PL was only on the iPad1?, you don't mean "JUST the iPad 1?" because that isn't correct.

[matanofx]

Want to see the balance of native english speakers/asians?

Go http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?74825-People-Behind-The-Toons/page78 and play spot the asian =]

Yeah theres definitely more non native english speakers now than there were before, that being said my first language is hebrew.

[Kakatoa91]

PL was only on the iPad1?, you don't mean "JUST the iPad 1?" because that isn't correct.

Well, I suppose it was also on other ios device like iphone3 or ipod in 2010. But was never into those devices.
At that time, I bought my ipad1 just because there was PL mainly.
Since then, bought 2 other pads and 3 other android tablets. And 3 android phones also.

Android devices gave really a boost to sts for players from all over the world and different social
classes. Aswell as fast $$$ since there was no
Apple in between.

[Reunegade]

Ni wei shen me bu shuo English?

[alexdroog]

In a nutshell: Less than 10 percent of the world population are english natives. You might want to think about that...

Zeit eine neue Sprache zu lernen...

Englisch 375 Mio.
Spanisch 330 Mio.

Koreanisch 78 Mio.

[Ihateppl]

honestly, i just try and stop the convo right after "sir pls"

[Pandamoni]

I find that most attempt to communicate in English even if it's not their first language.

Why do you feel dirty?

[DocDoBig]

Random fact, people don't believe me I'm not an English native speaker.

[Hectororius]

I also find that non-native speakers actually write better englis than say native speakers. Maybe cuz they actually had to learn english or something.

(yes all spelling was on purpose).

[Kiwihawk]

Really Doc? wow You're English Is Amazing

[Anarchist]

Really Doc? wow You're English Is Amazing

Hey "English speaker"

It is:
Your english is amazing.

[Samdegreat]

Hahah lol, on the contrary I my self am English and proud...

[Zeus]

PL was only on the iPad1?, you don't mean "JUST the iPad 1?" because that isn't correct.

It actually is, Jig, I believe. Initially, in the very very start, PL did a debut alongside the iPad release. After a few short weeks, the iPhone version was released.

[Zeus]

Hey "English speaker"

It is:
Your english is amazing.

Your grammar isn't all that great either, Elite. As long as you can understand what the post is saying - I do not see the big deal.

I don't think Kiwi's a native speaker either, forgive me if I am wrong! However, I am pretty sure that he did not mean the negative connotation of dirty that it appears like.

P.S: Kiwi, it does seem like you're looking down on non-english players. You may want to reword your original post. :)

[LordDravek]

Be on the the lookout for Grammar "Extremist" . They hang around elite kraag cannons and drop English lessons.

revision 1: for DocDoBig

Since he was playing the english teacher role, i just wanted to point out is english isn't perfect.

I am italian so even my english isn't perfect , never said it was though. c:

[DocDoBig]

Please quote the post where KiwiHawk corrected someones post. :chargrined:


Yeah Yeah, and im no way a grammar extremist haha

'nuff said

Nobody is touching my bb Kiwi.


Btw, this word ... Grammar Nazi is bugging me, please use grammar extremist.

Ahh right.. I still cant remember back then if I bought my iPad first or my iPhone >.< my memory is just blank

[Ebezaanec]

English, it's just another language.

I mean, if someone else who is a non-native English speaker were to be surrounded by tons of other native English speakers, they will probably feel "dirty" as well.

[Instanthumor]

Random fact, people don't believe me I'm not an English native speaker.

Hey, me too lol. And our english are both fairly good :p

[Spyce]

I can not tell you how many people i see saying "sinung sali guild" or "pinoy ako" everywhere i go. It used to frustrate me, but after awhile i just became indifferent. Afterall, the whole world has access to spacetime servers. And also, there are so many large Filipino guilds, im wondering: what's the population of the Philippines?

Well can you even imagine then trying to exist inside one of "those" guilds? I can get some of the spanish (about 1/3) german (1/2)... but the others... no clue really... and the SIR this SIR that... not something I can really get used to... kinda makes me feel like I'm talking to a little kid I don't know or something.

I get what you mean. It's like trying to talk to a 2 year old. They're trying to make sense, but they are failing miserably.

Im friends with someone whom i thought was Australian, but was actually a Filipino who lives in Australia. His english matches that of a perfect englishman. I also know an egyptian whose first language is arabic, but he speaks perfect english. There are people out there who speak perfect english, even though they arent english-born. But it bugs me when i have to try to understand what someone is saying. I know they cant help it, but it just bugs me.
