R.o.s.e. Online’s Japanese branch has begun a campaign to expel all foreigners from their servers, turning a once great community into an online witch hunt.
Does this mean...no red moon rpg or king rpg anymore? THats major B-****! Those games where so fun...And I dont get why the "crime" is speaking english. Seriously, im not going to my freedom of speach arguement in the blackout forum, but i do think thats insane. Sometimes, there are people in other countries that speak other languages...like here there are people that speek as unique of languages as Georgian or as common as english and spanish. What the-!? Comon, not all us mean harm. We just want to give out, barter, or trade maps and such!
I dont think its going on with the other Japanese games. My Mabinogi character is still alive and kicking. Looks like the nationalists took over only rose (hopefully). -VGsatomi
Techincally there's not a language called American, but there's a spelling called American. It uses "z" a lot and doesn't use "u" in certain words
Anywho, I'm gonna call this a shot in the foot. That is only going to hurt their playerbase. I can see a big company pulling this, but a small no name company? Yeah. As if that'll be useful
They'll be nationalistic, yes. But they'll also be poor
I say let them. Just get someone else to make a better MMORPG then their one, and watch as they regret the decision
But seriously, banning customers because of language? That is an entirely new level of stupid
So because a few japannesse are going to a witch hunt does that mean we are going to take it on all the japannesse??Lets not be ignorant and ignore this, it will go away.
If American isnt a language, then why Scottish and Irish are? American is really different from english.
Instead of banning every1 that doesnt speak japanese, they could also start learning american Japan is the countrey with the fastest growing economy, so they must speak it later anywo, right?
Its already the second language over there. Everyone learns it through elementary and highschool. This is something that regularly pisses off the more nationalistic elements of the population. An MMORPG world is I guess the only place they feel they can get away with doing something about it. -VGsatomi
ah thats good. but then why do they ban english and american to? itsnt it good that they can learn from gaming to? (I really learned almost ALL of my american from warcraft III and Diablo II )
