Don't do what? Abuse the fires? I'd hope not because I'm 99% sure that is illegal over in the UK as well.

Moo moo moooooo? Moo!

There is some localization that has to be done in English to English patching, but it'd mostly be colloquial usage/slang type words. Example: the word willy. Most people just don't use the word in the US, but the movie Free Willy (when it came out ages ago) almost got laughed out of the theatres because it is (was may be more appropriate in this case as I don't know how UK slang has evolved over the decade, but just as an example) used as slang for penis.

Now I fully grant that I can't think of many if any potential circumstances for there to be common slang terms in a fantasy universe, US/UK or otherwise, but I'm just saying there is potential there for needing localization. As to the German language localization/translation sucking willy, well...the only way to fix that would probably be a much longer time in a localization phase.

Aside from that though, lets look at what we ALL, as EQ2F readers, have to deal with: as previously stated, colts is a douche no matter where s/he posts from.

Not me. I actually want to know what Europeans would prefer to drive, a Corvette, or a Porsche.

In your shoes? I'd be annoyed too but considering the current state of things there, I'd also understand that almost nobody at SOE is thinking about GU39.

I actually think most people in N. America are posting that they don't give a shit really. Is that the same?

played Us and euro server and never really noticed a difference other then more crashes

I understand Oh shit moments and that they not always mange to do thing in the time its supposed to be done in and cold need a post point. but this game has be realised and had the same fucking Build in US as well as Euro since 2004. and that shouldn't change now. they should have post pointed the entire GU..

Saw a lot of scooters in Rome though. Those fuckers are crazy.

Create an alt and have a gander

There isn't a difference in what NPC's tell us on EU English servers and what they say on US servers. Never seen any kind of slang used whether it's american or english but i would love to hear mayong saying stop poking my fanny :P

<-- played on both US and UK servers. I see no difference in the language. If there's localisation, it's not in the language. Oh look, localisation is spelled with an s, not a z. There's a non-phallic example for you
