Just a note from the update:
*As a continuation of last year’s “Territory and District UI Changes” that saw language district restrictions removed for America and Europe, we are now removing restrictions on travel to Asian language districts.
------------------------------
anyone else a little worried about how this will effect spamadan and the like (i mean its hard enough as it is)
Here comes the spam?

What do you mean? Are you concerned about a greater populous in American/Euro District 1?
I don't think it will be so bad because AD1 is usually jam-packed anyway and requires a couple of attempts to actually get in.

Have you ever played Diablo II with Asians? It's hell with SOME of them.

There will be no spam.
Why should spam increase?
1.) Gold Farmers were already using Euro/US accounts, because this is where their customers are. They were and are already spamming Balthazar's temple.
2.) GW is rather unsuccessful in Korea and in Asia in general. We will not see too many Korean players.
Maybe we will now experience how few Koreans play GW. There are not many Korean guilds compared to Europe and America. Japan is hardly different.

And if I'm wrong, this topic will quickly go into the depth of GWG, for good.

Also, I think this is a good step up for ANet.

Doesn't this mean we should be able to create characters with Asian lettering in their names?

Cool, full removal of the district restrictions? Sounds interesting.
I can't say I like the idea of Koreans coming, though. While they can be nice people, a vast number of them like to use hacks and accuse anyone who beats them of hacking in online games. StarCraft and mass unit movement, anyone? (And then they have the nerve to say they're good at StarCraft when all they did was spam create Zerglings and then use their little hacks to make every Zergling attack simultaneously and bypass the normal select restriction, thus violating the spirit of fair play and losing any right to claim skill at StarCraft.) Can't stand it. This isn't racism, it's just an observation that apparently cheating in online games is acceptable in Korea.

Personally international is usually full during peak times (That is THEIR peak times.. not american). I would think it is safe to say its the on asian servers.

It's still not derogatory, it's a fact. I'm sick of soft people like you who get their feelings hurt with every little comment related to the differences of people. I don't like certain things, but not based off of a person's race. I have every respect for the Asian culture, but I don't enjoy sitting and listening to them speak because of the language difference; not the color of their skin.
Not to mention-- it's more of the spam that I was referring to.

I haven't seen a thread so full of racial pigeon-holing and stereotyping since the last time I visited I visited QQ forums.

Obviously not every Asian has poor English and spams a lot, but should I really have to specify that it's not every Asian in existence in order for it to be politically correct?
