Roblo 35 Posted March 17, 2019 Hello. Citadel will be invaded by russians. I don't know how we can handle it, will people quit, will it bring more people? All I can see in front of me is just a russian chat, no english in chat at all. It's bad now but I think that it will only get worse. I doubt that merging nekrova with citadel will do anything good. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotZombieBiscuit 3146 Posted March 17, 2019 You play on an EU server. EU is made up of many different countries that speak a multitude of languages, not just english and russian. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iTzBlackout 139 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) The morning population is already 90% russian. I doubt there will be that much of a change. Sooner or later all server gets merged anyways because of the planed server system, if im not wrong. Either they just shutdown nekrova and some of them create a new character here (if not already) or they keep their characters and get merged to us.

Latsha 71 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) tbh apb should stop supporting cyryllic symbols so that if they rage in whisper all you would see would be boxes EDIT for peanut-brained with inability to read: T H I S W A S A J O K E in reality we should just have language based district channels and one global channel Edited March 18, 2019 by Latsha 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You clearly have issues with Russians and you aren't even mediocre at hiding it. I am certain that if you were a board-member at LO, you would have voted against the merge. Regardless. It is not a problem. If it was, LO wouldn't be going forward with the merge. Kindly do not try to make it seem detrimental to the game. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One way to settle things down would be to only allow english in chat, if a multi-language chat is what bothers you ATM. Either that, or having two separate chat channels, or leaving it like this. Pick one. Edited March 18, 2019 by _chain 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basih 115 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Here is my reasoning on the subject: I don't mind Russians as long as they can't type in Cyrillic on a european realm. I also don't mind Polish people typing in polish, I don't mind Germans typing in german; all because I can very simply translate it to a language I understand, like English or Swedish if need-be. They use numbers and letters that the entire world understands. You also have to consider that most poles and germans also speak very good English whilst the great majority of the Russian population does not speak any another language than Russian. If the Russians want to play with us Europeans, they should have to use the same alphabet. I really hope the characters on Nekrova that are in Cyrillic will be forced to rename when they are merged so that I can have a chance at pronouncing them and communicating with teammates about who is doing what and where. If Little Orbit doesn't want to remove the support for Cyrillic I at least need some sort of option to filter out Cyrillic on my client, I don't want to see it as it just clutters the chat with complete with gibberish.

Fortune Runner 796 Posted March 18, 2019 While it is true that in Europe , English is a second language and most popular of those languages , it is possible to learn a dozen languages and none of them be English. I do not see how Russians should be singled out because of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Europe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McRabbiton 22 Posted March 19, 2019 Well. As i dont speak russian i translate their sentencey to german. An often they just insult me in their native language. Even if i write them back "Only English" they still spam towards me the same bullshoot. I wish to disable every whisper by not friends. That would be something nice. And why I complain? Because i get atleast 5 persons per hour spamming me. Its not worth it to ignore all these... people. Btw. I like russians. Its not that i have something against them. French, spanish and german people already insulted me too. But i can see why everyone is upset about the merge. Just let it happen. We can find solutions afterwards. They are just human beings too Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Revolted 4 Posted March 20, 2019 Firstly russia is NOT in europe Russia is part of the Eurasian continent. Which is not in Europe it is actually in northern Asia. If you do not believe me you can google it. I prefer citadel to merge with US or somewhat another english speaking continent or country and make russians have their own server. This is because if we need to team communicate we cant because they speak Russian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are free to join NA servers if you think language>ping Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
