I think you missed the big thread named \"Servers are down\" =)

Is a well known problem (hundreds post keep popping up with this same question everywhere =)

Devs have taken servers down to fix some bug and update. no official timeline on when they will be back online, but people was talking about Monday.

Well.. I\'ve spent the last 10 minutes reading this thread..

Italian player here.... I\'m following PlaneShift development from the first public release years ago..

I don\'t have much problem writing and reading english, but I know that many people didn\'t know english as well as other. I\'ve playing on the United States official Dark Age of Camelot servers, along with a big italian player community, and many of them can\'t understand a single sentence in english..

I was providing a \"tell me what you need to say, and I will translate for you\" for everyone that ask for help..
But I found that sometimes english player just throw bad words to player that simply wrote \"Non capisco l\'inglese, scusami..\" (I don\'t understand english, sorry) ...

That is not a nice way to live together.. I (and I hope, many others ppl) will translate things from (and in) english for everyone that ask me to, but I\'m really hoping to never read some \"\"\"\"\"racism\"\"\"\" on the ingame chat for someone that don\'t write in english..

I agree with no regrets at the \"only english in shout channel\", in respect for the people (transl. from english is way better than trans. from a bunch of other language)..

For the Help channel, I\'m on the way to propose a better multi language support for player.. IE: If someone is not really used to english, asking for help in that language would change in a pain to understand a maybe stricly technical answer, or some complex step to do..

The fastest way, is to have a friend that translate for you what you have to say, and then the answer.. but the better way, is to promote some player to helper, creating this way a team that can cover most of the language in the game

just for example, I can answer help question fluently in italian, and I can answer also at english ones, so if someone ask for help in italian I can reach him directly with his native language (that I already know is a lot better in help services)

Well, I have way too much things to learn about PS before I can be really helpful, so \"me\" is only an example.. I think there is plenty of willing-to-help people out here

ATM I can just offer again the little translate service that I was providing in other games..
English-italian and Italian-english
(I also know a few words in french, but not enought to be useful to someone =\\ )

Just send a tell when needed =)

atm my character name is \"Blackwolf Moonshade\"
If I\'m online I will be happy to help in everything I can.


I think we may coexist.. at least we all lives in the same world ;P (twice.. Earth and PS =) )

[BTW sorry if something is wrong or in a bad grammar =) I\'m still italian ;P]
