Hey,
i didnt find this in the idea index, so thought i'd post it myself,
why can't we get a Dutch districts, and Dutch language settings,
I seel allot dutch players on gw, and this would make the game more enjoyable for them, Since theres already Polish, Russian,Italian, Spanish districts, a dutch one would be cool too. I've seen allot more Dutch people playing gw then any of the ones above,
to make one thing clear, Dutch might look abit like German, but its not the same, i bearly understand what German people say.
And theres allot language settings, so why not make a dutch one? instead of Bork!Bork!Bork!, this one would be usefull.

Mods please add a T to districts in my title - rushing ftl

What he said ^

Although i'm British (And damn proud.) I do see a lot of Dutch people, whom i mistake for German and send them on their way to their own districts so we English can use ours. But then they inform me that there are no Dutch districts...which is strange because everyone 1 in 3 of my friends on GW are Dutch.. I'm all in favor of giving Dutch it's own districts and language settings.

the problem is that the Netherlands is a small country (16-17 milloun people)
and that the market is 2 small for a district.
thats the problem i think but its a nice idea 2 bring the subject up here

i am dutch myself and ye i love 2 have a dutch dis

I've seen this suggestion before and I'm all for it. Mainly to get the dutch people that refuse to speak English in the English district out. Most dutch chatter is childish namecalling anyway. I'm dutch and I won't be using it btw.

Dutch people are both from the Netherlands and Belgium, making it about 27million people.
I might still play in english districts myself, with the friends i made during my gameplay, but it would be awesome to have dutch districts.

This is about the 2389238273rd topic about this, and yet again I'll

it.

There are Polish districts, which are ALWAYS empty. I'm sure this will be different with Dutch districts.

I'm pretty sure you'd be the first

Nice to meet you

I suppose it has been suggested before but splitting local chat in a general English and a localized My-Language tab might help. Could be useful when crowds thin out further.

Are you playing in Europe-english districts? If not, I can imagine you wont see many dutch players.

For the rest, ill give a /notsigned because many Dutch people are in international guilds anyway. We can all speak english well enough, no need to put us in seperate cubicles

Uber Mass · Feb 05, 2008, 11:14 AM // 11:14

I'm Dutch(Belgium) myself, it would be nice to be able to go to a Dutch dis or to put your language in Dutch. I admit, I wouldn't use the district as much, but you'd be surprised how much dutchies play GW, English is not a hard language to learn, a lot of dutchies(including me) talk always English in general teams/PuGs.
This would be a positive update for a big part of the Europian Community/GW players.

So I don't have to listen to the children in chat.

I'm Dutch and I would love to get rid of my fellow countrymen and women.

As are the Spanish, Italian and Russian Districts :P (good 2 escape major lagg though

)

Anywayz: I'm Dutch, but i dont really think there's a need for special Dutch Districts. As Reinfire said: We can speak english pretty good and most people in my friends list are English anywayz, so...

/signed, to cut down on the "kut" and "jammer" in the All channel of the English district.

Deadly Panda · Feb 05, 2008, 12:49 PM // 12:49

There are a lot of dutch people (both from Belgium and Holland) who play guildwars, and I like the idea of getting them a Dutch district. But, I know there are also a lot of Polish people who play guildwars, but still the Polish districts are always empty.. and there must be a reason for that..

still,

pamelf · Feb 05, 2008, 01:24 PM // 13:24

/signed for language options and /notsigned on district. Most districts with separate languages are generally empty...

DeXyre · Feb 05, 2008, 04:58 PM // 16:58

I'm from Belgium and I wouldn't spend any time in it myself... but I don't see how it can harm others to implement this.

(As long as it's not forced upon us to use it anyhow

)
