As seen earlier, that's fine so long as they never meet, but since they exist in the same world and (especially in the non-english sections) are expected to meet, inability to gesture between languages is very bad.

I would agree with you, Missy. However, after my character spawned in what I assumed was the Spanish area, I spent more time interacting with Dutch speakers than I did Spanish speakers.

I didn't mind it, it was all very interesting. But then I wonder where the Spanish area ends and the Dutch area begins, since there are so many Dutch speakers coming through. My character is now travelling, and there are so few at the locations she has been, I really have no idea if she is still in the Spanish area.

To answer the question about the Spanish area: there are simply too few Spanish players atm to make it a densily populated area. The Dutch are not *that* close, but have a spawning system like the English, so that a few Dutch already attract more :) ... And the Dutch is the second-largest language group.

The best idea would be to advertise Cantr more on Spanish sites ;) ...

My friend who I think posted in the Span' forums, somewhere, quit cantr :( a while back. The boringness of Spanish land was an attribute to his departure, and I've tried to get him to return, but he's stubborn. *goes and gets electric shockers*
