Hi Vikingr community,
Having just read the thread where the russian guy got banned, I just wanted to point out that it's not very polite to join a server and speak any other language other than english if the server doesn't CLEARLY state in the joining message that X language is allowed.
I always saw this as common sense, I never, ever joined an apparently international server and approached the public chat with portuguese text even when my english was barely decent.
If you had the capability of downloading this mod, your comprehension of the english language must be okay and chances are your english is at least understandable, so don't be afraid of typing with bad grammar and some typos, at least you're trying and probably doing a better job at it than native english people saying even "hello" in your language.
My main point is, asking the odd question in your own language when you first join on how to do something you really can't put to words in english is fine and some people do it at one point. Just try to avoid having continuous conversations in your language in the public chat. A few reasons for this are :
- Most people can't understand it.
- It's rude to speak a language most people don't understand in public, considering it's an international server.
- How do we know you're not trolling/trash talking people?
- It's awkward for everyone else really, to be having a conversation and coming across a random language, and to an extent breaks the immersion of the game.
This is why people are banned. Don't take it personally, just think about it for a few seconds. Would you really enjoy your favorite gaming server to be flooded with all sorts of foreign languages?
I personally rather go through the trouble of speaking an universal language (english) so everybody understands each other and can have fun not only in the actual game but also interacting in chat and not feel overwhelmed and confused by text that barely anyone understands.
With love,
Harkon
