You can set the language to whatever you want. sometimes I change it for fun.

I've heard that US players playing on Euro Servers experience Lag issues, so That may be the case. probably depends a lot on your connection too.

Thanks for your speedy reply

Okay i'll buy it.. i'll just have to cross my fingers for the lag - i hear its worth the risk

If you can go for american servers, they're the busiest, and therefore have the most people to play with. One other thing, try to get it from america, and not japan or korea, because I can't change to those servers. I think they have different cd keys for asia, so they only allow you to play on those servers. For pve it's a non-issue because of international districts, but starting out it would be rough.

Sawat dii khap!

Concerning the lag issue many Aussies play in EU or US with no lag (and many Americans play in EU and Europeans play in US, wo that's not a problem).

And yes even if you have a thai version of the game, you'll be able to switch to english (and if you wanna have fun, hold the CTRL key on the right side of the keyboard to have again the thai version

).

EDIT - Chang Beer is definitely the worst beer I had by the way :S

I'm Europe and usually play on US servers = no lag

How do you use the US servers? Is it just a case of selecting the International districts?

I've not tried it yet. Thought I'd check first.
