I only speak English (yes I know I'm an uncultured swine), but I'd love to see as much localization as possible. The game can only get better with a larger playerbase, IMO.

I'll be honest... language localization is a double-edged sword.

I play World of Tanks on the EU server. Do you know how many people on any given 15-man-team are able to communicate well enough in a common language to form a coherent plan? The answer is: about 3 out of 15, sometimes 4. Matches alternate between grim silence with zero communication that leaves you feel like you're playing a singleplayer campaign with NPCs regardless of whether you win or lose, and a flurry of chat spam in six different languages, most of which consists of insults (there is apparently a good number of people who feel that insults are extra funny if the person targeted by it cannot understand the word).

I am German, but I'll tell you this... if the ping to the US servers for MWO is in any way bearable, then I will not be transferring to a potential EU server. I will be lagging, but at the very least I will be able to play with people who can understand what I am saying. In my home region in Europe, I won't be getting that.

I'm absolutely in the same boat here. Too many idiots running around without even a basic grasp of english language. If it's a German server speak German, if it's a Czech server, speak Czech, but if it's an international (i.e. european) server, communicate in English damnit!


Sometimes I think it's best to offer the game in english only... Everyone unable to play it because of that shouldn't be playing at all.
