WTF? When did he throw a racist punch? You're playing semantics, and doing a shitty job at it.

I didn't say he did now Did I? In my previous post did I say the Racist slur was a right term to throw? Please read what it says, not what you think it says.

Do it so in the future you don't waste our time because you suck at English Comprehension.

Capitalizing what exactly? Sometimes I randomly capitalize certain statements. Capitalizing the term "English" is the grammatically correct way to do it, I could have left out the others though but meh, may as well do it too.

I dunno who here has played say, Japanese games, but the same applies. They cater to their local fanbase first, then worry about US and Euro countries second.

Exactly what I was going to point out, Savanja. I've been playing Dance Dance Revolution since it's 3rd arcade incarnation (currently in it's 10th). DDR is made by Konami. Konami is a Japan-based company. Guess which fanbase they design/create the game for and cater to first?

Seriously, everyone has to wait for something at some point for some amount of time. Get used to it, especially when dealing with an overseas company. Localization isn't just a matter of translating American english into British English; you've got culture references to worry about and find an equivalent for, not to mention the other european languages that SOE is kind enough to translate the game into--no one ever said they had to make the game where Germans, French, Italians, Swiss, etc. could read the game without an online translator handy. And it would make no sense from a business point of view to convert it quick 'n dirty for the British and then worry about the Germans next, then the Swedes, and so on. Instead they get lumped together, and considering they're all on the same fucking continent, that's what I'd do as well.

Also keep in mind that the localization department is probably not the same people who write up all the dialogue, quests, and culture references to begin with. Which means localization has to wait for all that stuff to get completed. Once it is completed, there's no reason hold it back from the US servers, since that's who it's written for first. Oh, EU servers won't get at the same time so they should hold it back? What about people who have to work during the day and won't get to play the latest GU until they get home that evening? What about people laid up in the hospital for surgery/illness who can't get to their comps? What about soldiers who play but are currently overseas? Should SOE hold off on a GU until EVERYONE can play at the same time? Obviously not, it becomes a ridiculous argument, and they know it.

In other words british ppl are to dumb to even know there correct language so american's have to rewrite it for the lazy idiot's

are you that stupid, its normal that Euro server get patch several hours behind US because of Prime time, that's okay. but a game that is on the same build on Us server, English Euro server, French and German server should not have 10 days differences in em.

so yes US server should be pushed back until the can patch all there server in the normal time window of 12 hours later, as regular.

I appreciate your fierce defense of SOE in this matter. I also appreciate that any company will and does make mistakes.

What I don't understand is that a company with a track record of more then 8 years repeats the same mistakes over and over again. These mistakes are many, and mostly in communication/marketing perspective. (the LU39 is a fine exemple, with some weird excuses thrown in)

Not all of these mistakes are only bad for European players only. Many affect US citizens also. Its in my humble oppinion that most of the mistakes made in these 2 departments affect European players more then American players.

Just the fact that I can find VG in a store 2 minutes walking from my home, but NEVER ever yet found any EQ1 (ok once, 7/8 years ago) or EQ2 within a 4 hours drive (outside my country) shows how intensely well SOE thinks about this part of their market.

And no, thats not a mistake Ubisoft makes. Thats part of the responsibilty of SOE itself.

(for your information this means that the closest shipper of an English version is overseas. Meaning I will play RoK more then 48 hours AFTER you do).
