I went to American districts years ago as I generally used to play nights. No idea why. I was just under the general assumption that more people would have meant I'd run into at least one good player in a PUG. WAAAAY back before heroes and before I snapped to the point where I was willing to use the hench. Little did I realise back then, even Alesia dies less than the frenzy wammo on the front line.

Spain also just won the Wimbledon Tennis Championship on Sunday.

@OP - your only solution is to join a Spanish-speaking guild. Then, although you still might not find anyone to work into your play time range, they will speak Spanish.

Well, being Dutch myself, the only thing I can say is that I'm just not playing as much anymore at all. having played for over 3 years, it just got a bit stale. There are no expansions planned and as the beta for GW2 has been delayed till next year it will be at least a year before GW2 will come out, if not longer. Unless you are fairly new to the game, the game has little to offer the old players anymore except more title grinding and I've done enough of that.

It was a good 3 years and I still log in from time to time to help on a mission or just say hi to the guildies but in the mean time I am playing Mass Effect and waiting on Aion to give me something new. I will pick up GW2 for sure but till then, I have gotten bored with GW1. Such is life. Just saying that more people on this side of the ocean may feel that way. Before I stopped playing a lot I was already going to US districts more and more so I guess the 2 sides have started consolidating or something. Just a thought.

Dude, that's SIESTA time in Spain (yes, they have siesta, unlike Mexico where the whole day is a big siesta), no self respecting Spaniard will play games during the siesta.

I get less lag in the American districts, and I'm from Europe...

Plus, more players = more fun.

Europe is a country now ! wow how did I miss that change, I mean the UK is in Europe and the Uk comprises 4 or 5 countries depending on your definition of country.

As for European servers it's possible many are in the English speaking districts.
While many British people speak only English our cousins on the European mainland frequently speak two or more, English being a common second language as indeed it is in America.

Wow so I tried to join a spanish clan today They told me that they would invite me and they told me to leave my clan, So when I did the officer Julyam Rayam ignored me and didn't invite, All of a sudden I think I rather play with Americans...They never done anything this screwed up to me before. I know this is by far not an example of all the spanish players because I used to play back b4 i quit in 2007, With a bunch of nice ones, I guess I Just ran into the few bad ones today hehe..

I suggest that Anet fuses the Euro english and American English districts into one, maybe in that way, we will be able to play without lag for a change?

Yes, Europe is a country now.
Country? XDD

We are an UNION, not a Country. We are one and many, like Legion, like the Borg.

Anyways, since you are from that side of the Atlantic, you'll better learn English and deal with the people of that side. You'll get around half the lag you'll get playing at European, Asian or International districts.
