Before update i could place magnificent residence at spots like this:

But after update i can place it at four less spots:

While if i try place 2x2 building, i can see there is a place for magnificent residence:

[Hagbard_]

Then why bother to call it EU-server since the only language I'm allowed to use (without being banned) is English. Call it UK-server instead!

I got an epileptic attack from the blinking tip text while the game was loading.

Me too. I hate blinking text.

Zone buffs: the most annoying nonsense feature ever. Why were they even made? Unless this paves the way to "feast everything except wells and foresters in one click" then I have no idea why development time was wasted on it.

I can only assume that more zone-wide buffs will be coming in the future. If there will not be, it does seem a little silly to know that you have a fairy fire running (for 5 minutes).

I don't like the icons only chat interface, I want the old text channel names back. The icons are tiny and hard to hit with the mouse too.

This one is ok to me. Pictures work across all languages which is an advantage for some, and since there is the mouse-over to explain what the tab is I expect in a few days no one will notice the difference and even forget how it used to look.

So are our explorers still going to return with the now useless solar flare or have they been removed or replaced with a different buff.

UPDATE: The new game version has been deployed successfully, but the chat channel reduction for Sandycove was not applied.
The reduction will be conducted with the next game update.

So one can only assume that in G1 it is now allowed to use all the languages that had their channels removed. That is great news indeed. Thank you!

The Official Channels and Languages post is being updated as we speak, but I can confirm that there will be no more language channels.
The game was not designed with language channels in mind and we allowed them in order to help players less familiar with the English language. Many channels have been removed in time due to the opening of dedicated language servers.
With the Chat Channel reduction, all language channels are being removed.
Previous to this decision, we monitored the channels for several months and most of them went unused for weeks or even months, as most of the players are using guild chat to communicate in their native language.
Hope this clears things up.

So discriminating players based on what language they speak is an improvement? Whats the next big idea, some racism perhaps?
Why were the ten-ish channels even a problem, with the update chat server is running thousands more..


oh and by the way the zone buff thing broke the old zone buffs, they only stay for 5 min before deactivating

[Dorotheus]

Did BB look into the player level of those few who were using their native channels. If they was just new players then maybe the older player had joined up with guilds thus using guild chat instead of their native global.

I can tell you global-9 could occassionally be more active than global-1 BEFORE the channel preset (option) was removed. Ravel has then monitoring those channels..

same here
looks like we're not allowed to get more residences
and really nothing blocks there

We were a lot of people in Global-9 since we didn't always feel like speaking english in Global-1...

So if you want this server to be adapted for Europe you need to let more countries be able to speak their own language.

Otherwise people might start to speak their native language in Global-1!

[KentHage]

It is a VERY bad move by BB to remove the language channels.
If this is a true European server then all languages that don't have their own dedicated servers should have their own language channel.
A language preset should also be present so you don't have to remember to write "/j global-x" every time.
How should we be able to communicate between guilds that use the same native language if we don't have a channel to write in?

Perhaps all languages are now allowed in global-1?
Or perhaps no language at all since BB_Ravel wrote "With the Chat Channel reduction, all language channels are being removed."
