Creatives50It will save blizzard a ton of resources being that in order to properly answer a german player who pages, they would need a german CSR, as well as a french CSR, and a... you get the idea.. yes they will need those.. but honestly which is easier to find.. a german speaking german or an american who speaks german? I think you can see where i'm going with this. In europe it will be easier to find native speakers, and thus give YOU the better customer service you deserve. Remember Blizzard doesn't do the half-assed things that most companies do. When they do something they make sure its right before putting the product out.
Does this mean that I will get customer service in Finnish, too? Why would they provide customer service in Finnish, if the game is all English (there is no Finnish localization) and thus you need to know English if you are to play the game?
If Finnish isn't spoken abroad in the world, I'm sorry.. really am. I've heard of it before, but chances are they do the most commonly used languages.. I'm not defending them beyond making a point. Don't take offense or anything. As it was not my intention to stiffle another language, nor did I say it at any point, was simply making a point that they will hire tech support for Europe, and I think you understand that. To the best of my knowledge, if there is a localized version you will have language support. If you get enough people to send in purchase orders for a finnish version, then I'm willing to bet it would happen.. but it would have to be enough to be worth the money, and I'm not a market manager, but it would have to be over 100k i'm thinking, to cover costs of doing it. I could be wrong on that, but i'm willing to bet it would cost that and possibly more, just to break even.
Hmm... U said that they release for US and Asia? Which part of Asia do you mean?
Singaporeans, Malaysians cannot get to play. I emailed the WoW and ask them if my regions could buy WoW to play or not. They replied as below:
[email protected] At this time we have no details on what region will include Malaysia/Singapore. At this point it appears it will be shortly after the Europe launch which is scheduled to happen early next year. The reason I say shortly after the Europe launch is because we will be allowing customers from any location to play World of Warcraft on any server shortly after Europe launches. Hope this clears up any confusion and I would suggest you continue to watch http://www.blizzard.com and http://www.worldofwarcraft.com
For world wide, we had to wait till european WoW release -_-" So unfair! I thought it is MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) & yet they release for such a few region and restrict so many others -_-"

they emailed me back saying not long after release you can choose to play on any server,the streict server rules are only during the first month or so of release...til tey see how many they get online and the like.
As some of you might know, blizzard releases WOW at 23rd november 2004 in Asia and North America. Europe and the rest of the World must wait another 4-6 months for "their" release of the localized WOW servers. The bad marketing thing is, they DONT allow european People to play on the US servers. Read this: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-general&t=385040
I also called Blizzard by Phone telling them I never bought localized Blizzard Software and always played the original US versions of their Games. For WOW they told me I cannt do a ****.. only thing to do is buying localized software in 4-6 months.
I now encourage all you people here on this site to express their disagreement whit that policy and write emails to: [email protected] complaining about the unfair threatment. Remember this... a MMORPG is there too meet new people and get online friends. How can you meet new foreign people when they are all shut out and kept separated?
What would you think if i'd restrict www.wc3sear.ch to only germany, austria and switzerland... and tell you ya all need to wait 4-6 months for the lokalized versions of the page for you.... And shut out all foreign people by IP range block.
You'd propably think I consumed some drugs which were not good for me...
So please... all visitors of this page and wow fans who disagree with that policy (also US habitants are invited to complain) please write an email to blizzard and complain.
Alone we cannt do nothing... but if a huge community complains it might fetch an ear there.
Thank you for your time
