OT: I don't think it will be a problem. In fact, the poor Koreans are going to have everyone trolling their districts ^_^

And Asian players' apparently crappy grasp at English is worse than a majority of first language English-speakers on Guild Wars... How?

Full of racist undercurrents. Its not dirrect... but it is too much of a powder keg to discuss on a forum.
Furthermore... how the heck would this increase spam exactly? Each district instance has a limited number of people that can show up at any one time. Its not like "more" people are going to be able to squeeze into a district then before.
It is just a stupid complaint that isn't thought out at all that relies on racial prejudices for its arguements for its hypothesis.

Saying "the poor Koreans are going to have everyone trolling their districts" is neither derogatory nor intolerant of anyone.

anyway,I rest my case,its just what you want to make out of it I guess.

Please, please, people. For the sake of those that really suffer from racism, please let's not make this an argument that shouldn't be. I'm not saying that people are or are not telling racist statements on this thread, I'm just pointing to the fact that this is a serious offense and we should not use the word lightly.
I guess this thread should be closed if it continues on this path.

I agree the thread should probably be closed. The thing that really bothers me is that some people can't see what they are saying maybe racist.

It's very easy to tell if a statement is racist: if it makes a sweeping generalization based on race.
E.g. "asians play Diablo2 poorly" is racist.
On a sidenote: as with all sweeping generalizations the statement will always be wrong.

"Asians play Diablo 2 AWESOME" is racist according to you.

Any generalisation or judgement of a race is racism. Why are there so many uneducated twats on this thread? :-(
Back in the 70s and 80s white brits used to make the comment 'Aww look at the cute little chocolate kids' to describe black children. The people saying it thought it was cute and a compliment, the kids it was said too and their parents found it offensive. You dont decide what racism is and isnt. If you say anything along the lines of 'this race is like this' you are being racist.

to go back on topic:
I like the fact the districts have opened, since i only use the search function to sell/buy my stuff, or just use this forum. Plus, my dealings so far with asian district is that they speak english quite nicely.

Remember celebrity big brother with Shilpa Shetty in it? Lady from India spoke perfect, mature, and fantastic english, whereas the british retards in the house that bullied her spoke like a pack of filthy scumbags. Its so stupid that common joe in britain or america cant speak real english without some kind of local moronic slang that makes them sound braindead.

I enjoyed my visit to the asian district..
I met some folks from the boards here...and a very sweet War Machine guildie.
The chat was light, the idiocy non existant...I felt I was in the twilight zone...people ....were.....being.....NICE.

If I had said that they suck at Diablo because they're Asian-- that'd be a racially driven statement. I said that playing Diablo with Asians was hell referring to their spam and poor English. I should have included the word "some," but the fact remains that I thought it was a given that not every Asian is annoying. I could say the same thing about Canadians or Germans probably, but the topic was directed at Asians.
I agree with the person who said the word racist shouldn't be thrown around lightly. I don't think any of you are able to judge whether I'm racist or not by a loose, joking statement on a forum. The statement obviously wasn't politically correct and if any Asian here was seriously offended by it, I apologize.
I also agree, /end thread

This thread needs to be deleted for one reason - I dont want the rest of you following me to GW's paradise district.
Lock + delete thread please.
Earlier today i were in an english district and people were having an emote spam. So I joined in for fun. Some big time loser decides that instead of unchecking emotes, he would flame, abuse and report us all for spamming O.o
Emotes are fun spam and easilly deactivated.

When folks just drop by ONE time, and take a peek...I'm sure the negative remarks will end.
Really guys..it's an amazing spot....people actually have fun there!
(And...*gasp* I saw the building of a community...right before my eyes!)
I'm going back today....to have fun, and be with nice peoples that don't seem to care about 'leet'...'uber'..and such.

I don't see how this is going to make any difference. :P There's already plenty of French Canadians and Europeans chatting away in their first languages in US district, plus asian character/guild names all over the hub cities, so I doubt I'll even notice.

I thought that this (very long) article was related to the topic at hand here and that it was worth mentioning:
http://www.danwei.org/electronic_gam...away_in_zt.php
It's very long but really worth it.
(note: no flame or racism intended, rather an attempt to look at the culture differences; and I know that China is not Korea or Japan, and I do not intend to suggest that there's a drect relationship, apart from pointing at the differences in particular in business practices)
(note 2: RMB = China's currency)
(note 3: the article is both different from the point of view of the MMO described, but also its perception as it seems that the journalist is a bit biaised against MMOs; the translator's note mentions this also)

Like ZT Online creator Shi Yuzhu says, this is a game well-suited to the rich. In this world, the authority to bully others and the legal right to harm them are both for sale. Although everything is virtual, Lu Yang once believed that she could find a golden road to glory and dreams. But like so many others, Lu Yang discovered that what was crafted from the endless inflow of RMB was actually a road to bondage. |

The story is well-suited to Chinese tastes. The sole perplexing thing is this: after you get all excited about it, you discover that the gap between the ideal and reality is quite wide. A newly-born ID is at level 1, while the most courageous heroes among the kings can reach "reincarnate level 170": after bringing a normal character to level 168, they gain a new incorruptible body and can reach level 170. Simply put, this is the difference between a mortal and a god. Heroes wield "Perfect Sacred Weapons", and they are enveloped in the purple aura of nobility, while you stand empty-handed, clad in only a pair of shorts to hide your nakedness. Now you can purchase a point card to pour RMB into your game account, allowing you to ascend levels more quickly and purchase precious materials with which to craft equipment. You do not have to spend money; if you don't, if you only sit there within the game, then the system* will take not even a single penny from you. But you will quickly discover that you are unable to kill even a mosquito in that wasteland, and your movements are restricted to the place where you were born, a small village called Qingyuan; the wide world outside is for heroes. Of course, even more discouraging is the fact that you, a descendant of royalty, will live forever under the threat of another player's secKill. |

| Lu Yang may not be aware that as she was running herself dizzy, a gamer called "Send only Naobaijin" was making his way through the same game. He was impatient with the tedium of upgrading, so he purchased a high-level account instead, and he spent thousands to craft the highest class of equipment. Paving his way with money, he achieved incredible power within a short time. In this typical Korean-style "kimchi" game, he struck out on his own with new experimental gameplay. This gamer was the future boss of ZT Online, Shi Yuzhu. |
