Les difficultés dans la région française

[Doug R.]

It has been known for a while that the French area has been having serious problems. I want to start this thread so that the players of french-speaking characters can lend their wisdom and experiences. The goals are:

-Create a very clear picture of the problems facing french-speaking players.
-Have the administration use this picture to determine if any action should be taken.
-If so, use this thread to find out what action is preferable and acceptable to french-speaking players.

Some things have already been said in the staff forums, but on principle, things shouldn't be quoted out of staff forums, so we can just start over (but feel free to quote your own posts .

If there are players that can't read English, it would be very useful if someone could provide a translation.

Doug dit:

On sait depuis un certain temps que la territoire française du jeu a des difficultés. C'est ici qu'on peut discuter, en français ou en anglais, ce que vous, les joueurs français, avez vécu jusqu'ici.

Voici nos buts:

Comprendre clairement les problèmes que rencontrent les joueurs français dans le jeu.
Donner une idée aux administrateurs afin qu'ils puissent déterminer s'il faut intervenir.
Si oui, déterminer quel plan d'action serait préférable et acceptable aux joueurs français.

On a déjà discuté dans les forums de staff, alors si vous voulez répéter ce que vous avez déjà dit, soyez le bienvenu.

We are assigning hard-coded spawnpoints to some language groups. If you think that would be appropriate for your group, please reply.

Doug a dit:

Nous pensons changer la façon dans laquelle les nouveaux-nés arrivent dans le jeu. Au lieu d'arriver où il y a deux joueurs français, ou où il Y AVAIT deux joueurs français à un certain moment, nous pensons mettre les endroits permaments où arriveront toujours les nouveaux-nés.

C'est une idée pour d'autres groupes aussi.

Si vous avez quelque chose à dire la-dessous, dites-le.

Will there be two or three or how many locations, Doug?

Well, that's the big question. I don't want to mess anything up for you guys, so leaving things the way they are is an option also.

As you can see, Doug, French players don't seem to have opinions. I would lean to going to fixed spawnpoints, if that's what the other langauges are doing. The small language groups, I mean. Four would be great. There are at least three towns capable of sustaining life at this moment (I can mail you the names).

We are flourishing at the moment, compared to a year ago, but if and when animals start attacking, we could be back to 0 quickly.

Thanks for your help.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, as they say. I'll leave it as-is.

How about leaving the Spanish one as it was Doug?

It's a temporary measure only, alf.
