| One thing we do need to think about is that you might have 20-even 40% of the Spanish player base speaking nothing but spanish. We see this in VCO with the guild Las_Espanas, and other various nationality speaking guilds.
The Pools for Natinoality for PoTBS is as follows:
Pirate 32%
British 28.67%
Spanish 18.33%
French 21%
Since there are not seperate servers for Europe and such as we know right now this could deffantly be a rather large problem. In addtion this may not be the case for each server. So, we could be on a server where there are more spanish or french and not enough british or on a server where the british outnumber everyone 3 to 1. It's one of those things we just can't figure out and won't know untill a month into the release on that specific server.
It must also be noted...because I know you guys like the underdogs. If we are the underdogs on whatever server we are on and we can't keep from loosing ports to another country then it can devistate out production facilities and keep us from making key things such as lumber or nails or whatnot that we would need to make ships.
Pro's/Cons for British and Spanish...bec no way in hell any of us want to play French.
British
Pro:
1. Most people will be english speaking so bigger pool to recruit from.
Con:
1. More likely the server were on will have more british players than other nations this excludes pirates.
Spanish
Pro:
1. More likely to be the underdog so we have a higher likley hood of having PvP targets
Con:
1. More likly that 20-40% of the spanish playerbase will only speak spanish which hurts recutiment. |
