In does cities and outposts where its really hard to find groups, would it not be an indea to put people as a standard into international district, regardless if they come from USA, europe, japan or korea? That way instead of having all nationalities districts almost empty, we can get one that is almost full!
Certain parts of factions and prophercies is just really unpopular places to be, so if you need a group for a quest or a runner or something else, it would be great if people could band together with people from all over the world.
the problem is that normally people dont use international districts, because they start in their home districts. so if we took all the home districts and put international district 1 as a standard, it would be alot more easy to find people?
im not suggesting doing this in popular places like Ascalon city, or LA. But just places where therer are almost no people at all.
International districts primarly in unpopular towns and outposts?

When there aren't enough people in a town to fill a sinlge district, why have multiple districts each with only a few people in them ?

/signed... only because some people hardly realise there actually IS an international district... then they quit the game because they can't get further in it >.>
I even teamed up with some Chinese guys once, we hardly communicated, yet we cleared the entire Abaddon's Mouth island, and did the bonus while at it (even though i already had it... but they cleared the backway only for me since i needed an elite there... so i suggested doign the bonus ^^)

The main problem with this idea is communication. If you can't communicate with your group due to the language barrier, it would almost be easier to hench the area.
Lawnmower
I agree with that communication is important, but look at the other sides;
players might be able to understand simple commands
you can still hench the area, but now at lest you got the option to choose foreigners.
a game with more people is better i think. its nice that you dont have to feel like that you are alone in the world.
a good opputunity to meet players from around the world(litterly) outside of competitive pvp.

There are a lot of areas that I get really frustrated with in finding a group, on top of that I check out the international district and it is even emptier than the home ones. With all the guys in internation districts in low populated areas, I would expect to see placed that never have extra districts, have them.
Definately a good idea.

As long as going back to a home district is still an option.
But if there's a group of gamers from different continents, isn't the connection a little less stable?
As for language barrier, by now I'm sure there are plenty of gamers who are experienced enough to know what's going on. If someone is calling targets, anyone anywhere would know to click on the target box and attack the same target. That sort of thing, should be no problem.

honestly, i like the idea, as sometimes i'll switch games, just because there arent enough people in any given area. im a nocturnal pacific timezoner, so that doesnt help either. Again, language barrier is the main problem. here's my recommendation. have a series of pre-set phrases accessible through a set menu that are automatically translated for all party members. ping and map draws are helpful, but dont do anything. something like "Pull to here" or, "Ranged Attackers only." yeah, its an idea thats been run a few times, but i think that when coupled with the idea presented in this thread, they both become more applicable.
scrinner
Well most people can understand a called target.. hopefully. Maybe some basic command emotes just to help. Ive seen a ton of empty districts, And Non existant internationl districts (The city was so empty there were no districts. The server created one just for me when i wanted to go to that city). If we can shove these people into international, Thats even better. Though communication will be a keen problem.

i know how frustrating finding group members are, esp in unpopular/wrong time of the day
but how do we understand each other?! other than simply radar drawing and calling?!

Is it that bad in the US?
Here in europe (English districts) there's people everywhere except some really out-of-the-way outposts like Maguuma Stade. Even if you're playing at four o'clock in the morning.
Or is this suggestion intended to bring people to the international district? That one is truly deserted except for the few areas where the farming army works.
I'm in principle in favor of joining all the districts together -I feel GW should be ONE world- but the only merging that's really needed, IMO, is to merge the italian and spanish districts with the english district: the italian and spanish districts really are empty.

I've managed about 1 1/2 hours in FoW without anybody using chat or TS with a PUG, and we didn't do too badly.

2 best groups I ever got were in ID
1: entire fire island missions full group of 8
2: Unwaking waters.....as you know emprty, we scrounged 8 together
But yeah, in main towns such as LA and droks I normally hang in ID1 anyway, people just seem more professional (and less talkative, which is GOOD)

but european districts, like they were when the game was released, would do lots for the european realms. Language barrier there is not a real problem, a large (very large) scale of schools in europe educates atleast two languages, mother tongue and english.

Merge? I was hoping there would eventually be enough gamers in North America for Canada to get their own district. Go Canada 
Lawnmower
I play on euro servers too... the italian, spansih and french districts are almost always deserted.
and even on the english and german ones its hard to find people in places like "the wilds", dragons lair, Ice Caves of Sorrow, abbadons mouth and so on...
its going to get even harder after nightfall is released because there will be 1/3 more towns and outposts. so we need to bring the global playerbase together before we get to scattered.

Vizunah Foreign Quarter is always henches or foreign people on US servers. It's extremely frustrating with the latter because of the language barrier. Preset phrases would help out a ton.
If that was implemented along with it, then yeah I'd have no problem grouping with anyone that wasn't an idiot.

Doing Abaddon's Mouth WITH bonus with hardly any communication, i managed to do it... just respect your fellow players and you'll automatically start udnerstanding eachother... if not, then it's just a crappy bunch of teammates, and that is NOT the fault of their language.

Sad, isn't it?
Also the french and germans seem to have enough players, so I'm not sure they'd be interested in merging. The italians and spanish, though...
Lawnmower
Even if we merged together all euro districts, there would still be very very few people in does popular mission outposts and towns. its sad, really.

Great idea Lawnmower guy! Forgive me I'm too tired to read the whole thread but I agree completely with the OP. I've thought of this idea myself many times when travelling to the less populated places in the game, and as expansions are released populations will continue to be thinned.

exactly. and it will be an even bigger problem with chapter 4... and 5...o_O

Of course, those will be there too; but the whole point is to expand your options, and I know I wouldn't mind partying up with a few Brits.
