I've been lately meeting teams with asian only names in RA who usualy consists of a healer and rangers.
Looks more to me like a bloody TA build.
BTW this is on euro servers. What are asians doing on euro server anyway?
And why all asian names in one team? In Random Arena?

If you read updates, you'll notice that the arenas are international, you're just as likely to be matched up against any other region of team. Maybe more asian-language teams were playing at that time.

And does it really matter that you're playing against a bunch of players with Asian characters in their names?

*ponder*

Maybe we asians just like to fight randomly o.o

Right on! I totally agree.

I'm new to this forum and am surprised that this is allowed as a subject line. It seems rather mean spirited.

AH yes, that change. I dont know if I like it or not.
Yyou can believe what you want, I forgot about that update. Thought they were doing something like they usualy do in Lineage 2.
Guess it was incidental that I managed to meet rangers + monks few times.

Could we use the term outplay them? Beat seems too mean spirited!

But seriously I've noticed something weird with the Kanji (I think thats what its called) character named players.

Twice now I've been in RA and wound up with a kanji character name player on my team. Both times they sacked themselves repeatedly, and it just so happened the other team was all kanji character named players.

So I'm wondering if there is an exploit so you can pick who's on your team

Right, so, not going to leave this open to possible racism now that the question is answered. Closed.
