YES, it is an MMO, however not only should it be a fairly obvious fact to everyone on this forum but that is not what we are discussing...
Though, since you brought it up, here's something you seem to have forgotten: "MMO" does not infer cultural diversity, particularly not lingual diversity. It only means that there is a multitude of players. There can be many players from the same country, the same race, the same religion, speaking the same language, etc. Since it is a socially-dependant and community-laden game style, communication is an important factor, of which the game's inherent language plays a significant part. In this case, that language is English.

Additionally, at no point have I dissed nor dismissed anyone's culture whatsoever. Arguing otherwise is a simple public declaration that you have not read my posts. If you're still unaware of what I've actually said and either can't be bothered scrolling up or are some how incapable of doing so, these are the main things I've mentioned in this thread:
    (1.) The top ten iSRO bot search countries (listed previously, and as noted, they are primarily non-English speaking countries), and the possibility of them having their own local servers in the future, which they could use or not use at their own discretion.
    (2.) That the game itself is indeed a social game and is specifically programmed in English for English-speakers, hence people who can't speak English would have obvious difficulty with it. Again, communication is key.

As that is based on both blatant fact (as stated) and my personal opinion (as I have stated repeatedly when warranted) the refutability of those points is primarily annulled.


I also forgot to add this...

The first time that I've seen any person in these forums--except for like 2 mods, and 5 other users who just type a single sentence--who has used near perfect grammar, and not only that, but also bullet pointing for clarification.

Gold star for you!

Why thank you. :P


But anyway, as for the last few posts, I really don't think banning people who live in Turkey will achieve anything good. If new "specific" servers were to be introduced, I think they should make area-specific servers for the 10 countries with the highest proportion of SRO players in the international SRO community.
