Who says americans have good spoken English (not to mention written) lol. You`re trapping yourself there mate :)
All of the Americans I associate with have both good spoken and written English. Next to none of those on Lineage 2 have good written English. I think you're(<--- note the properly used apostrophe) actually trapping yourself with the terrible grammatical display you just made.
To really annunciate my pompous American attitude, I'll correct your post for you.
"Who says Americans have good spoken English; Not to mention written. You're trapping yourself there, my good sir."
I refuse to use the word mate on the grounds that it sounds ridiculous anywhere outside of Australia.
No, they moved on to games that are more mindless.
I'm actually not entirely sure that's possible. I've never had a game cause my eyes to gloss over for hours on end while I stay in one room slaying the same mobs over and over again. I'd tell you to name a game that's worse, but I'm sure you would name something I have never heard of. I'm also sure I've never heard of it for a good reason. Same with the reason many decent people have never heard of Lineage 2.

May I "lol" at your hard try to be a "model american citizen defender" ? I say no american has good spoken and written english. You prolly mean American English which isn`t the same English I`m suggesting or even the real English.
And btw, you clearly haven`t heard about UK since you`re boasting your "Australia" argument. You also have no idea about your real roots and the language you are speaking, where does it come from and why.
And I`m using " ` " instead of " ' " just out of commodity reasons, but it`s OK, you`re most likely american, you can hold onto every little detail if you can`t find anything solid to hold onto. We all know what "american" trully means, don`t think we don`t. The whole world knows it :)
Good day to you too , dear sir.

Oh, you probably think I'm referring to American English? My good, good sir how ever did you come upon that conclusion. I mean clearly the title "Americans" wouldn't tip you off so I don't know how you managed that.
Dude, whatever you're writing right now is not the way English was intended to be written. I'm honestly not sure where your argument lays.
Commodity:
1.
an article of trade or commerce, especially a product as distinguished from a service.
2.
something of use, advantage, or value.
3.
Stock Exchange . any unprocessed or partially processed good, as grain, fruits, and vegetables, or precious metals.
4.
Obsolete . a quantity of goods.
Nope, you're not using "`" as a commodity. In fact, I can't even try to guess what word you were trying to use.
Let me "lol" at your hard attempt at being witty and intelligent.
Hum.... what ALL you guys here are trying to prove?
That Lineage 2 has the worst Apartheid of MMO?
Great Thirth Reich way of thinking, judging people by his nationality or language, you guys should put a Adolf mustache in the face, and the acting would be 100% accurate.

I don't need to prove anything. You just proved it for me.

I`ll help you there, since trying to think doesn`t work right for you : "out of convenience". Is that better , Adolf ?

"Mate", (yes I use this word cause you don"`"t like it) stop trying to find good English speaking players, this is NOT a grammar game nor an English-speaking only one. As for American players, well, my guess is that the time-zones of servers doesn't really fit them well. Just enjoy it and try to understand as much as you can from the broken English some speak :)
Oh yeah, bro, totally mad. That's why you're the one who has to lash out with insults and anger.
Thanks, I heard Jared had AIDS and that's how he lost so much weight on the Subway diet. In fact, he suggest everyone have AIDS to help them lose weight as well.
Too bad that joke more than likely went over your head unless you're American or happen to delve into a bit of American animated comedy.
Xynto, this game has no translations. It only comes in English. Not sure what your talking about. The only reason all of the time zones changed is because the zerg of people coming from private servers to this new free haven were predominantly European.
Unfortunately more often than not, good written English does in fact=intelligence. But Faith, your post definitely does not=intelligence, so I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to prove.

True, although it comes in Koreean too :) But you only need to know basic English to understand the game mechanics and the fact that the game is made in English doesn't really mean that only English-speaking players can play it :)

free haven ? yet again you fail trying to think. There is nothing free within l2, you`re just deluded.
Keep in mind that 99% of the europeans coming to "your" server speak 90% accurate english, just like I do. It would be easy for a person with an IQ higher than 60 to grasp exactly whatever they mean, but obviously not for you.
They changed the timezone ? Too bad for you, that`s management decision based on majority. You are clearly a minority. Don`t like it ? quit.
Edit : Also be aware that the broken english you hear/read is coming from the "American" continent. America =/= USA .Poor sods that call themselves americans and use google translate to communicate. Believe me, they are not europeans. We start teaching english in classes starting with the 4th grade.

I don't mean at all that only English speakers can play it. I just mean that it was designed to be a North American game. Now when I say North American, I'm mostly just talking about America and Canada.
In fact, I'm not even sure why most of you got so butthurt over my original post. I was simply asking where all the Americans went.
Of course, I knew this would instantly spawn a lovely argument. I was OK with that.

Maybe the word "racist" got people raging 'bout your post? Not the case for me but...:)

Everything, save for the L2 Store, is free in Lineage 2. If you think otherwise, you're just plain wrong.
Who doesn't say "my server"? Do you want me to say "the server in which I play on" ?
You are the one who is deluded. I don't even care if they changed the time zone. Quit projecting issues you're angry at others for on to me. I don't even do castle sieges. All I do is PK people with my Othell.
I never even said a word about Europeans at all! I was mostly speaking about people from South America and Mexico. You really seem like an angry soul.
Edit: No man, they're definitely not Americans. I can tell from the dialect and the lack of American slang. Don't insult my intelligence. The people you speak of are more than likely from South America. Do you even know that continent exists?

If you read my previous post once again and if you read your post I quoted there , you will see that you do bring word about Europeans and I do bring a word about American CONTINENTS, which clearly nullifies your actual post and puts you into a bad sad defensive posture.
I`m done posting here. Have a good day.
Too bad in order to hold true to McKean's law there has to be a grammatical error.
I don't have a college professors understanding of the English language, but I do consider my understanding to be decent. Feel free to point out the error if you want, because I don't think anyone else here has the capacity or the notion to do so.
Hum.... what ALL you guys here are trying to prove?

+1! Btw I am American, don't care if people buy nc coins, but rather what they are buying, don't care if people came from p server, at the end of the day it's just a dieing GAME..
The game is Korean, not american. English is chosen not for the sake of american, but because it is the most spoken language in the world. Be happy anyone speaks your language. Try to speak Spanish and then have a native speaker of Spanish tell you how crap your Spanish is. Perhaps then you will understand why people react to like they do.
So if it is acknowledged that a lot of Europeans speak English then why have you created a thread talking about Americans and how no one speaks English anymore? America has nothing to do with how many people speak English. So what you are really complaining about is there are not a lot of Americans playing anymore and not about the amount of English speaking people. Sure there are a lot of people that speak other languages but I'm still in a clan that mostly speaks English so I don't have a problem and I'm from Canada...which apparently is lumped as an afterthought into this conversation.

Semicolons are followed by a lower case letter, unless that letter is the first letter of a proper noun.
yes there are still english speaking clans and people playing L2. I myself am from Canada born and raised I speak perfect English and I also speak perfect Greek. I guess I don't count though because I don't live in America and know more then one language
(what are the benefits of that, waste of time for sure!)
I'm also sure I've never heard of it for a good reason. Same with the reason many decent people have never heard of Lineage 2.
P.S. Lineage 2 is an amazing game play something else if you don't like it. I'm sure no one will be all heart broken because of one less entitled American running around on the servers.
This topic is pretty touchy and, whether intended as offensive or not, can cause a lot of negativity here. Locking to close the topic as it has received multiple answers and to prevent discussion from getting out of hand.
