I do agree they should add in the ingame FAQ in the part explaining what NPC is that it is not allowed to go over NPC price. I guess when you first start out you wouldn't know this.
And there is a lot of information to take in, so yes a first time warning would solve that problem.

Better yet, why not make it impossible to go over NPC price?
And while they are at it, also make it impossible to sell products (besides the gifts like flowers and liquor) for 0 caps to rule those mistakes out too?

About the translations, its not so much about the server i was talking about. You could just have the same server in different translations.

Obviously that poses a problem because it's officially the English version and they might not be effectively able to use the forums. But for those of who can speak a little English but are comfortable with another language, we should have translated pages.

Same server, just different language translation, maybe something you could change in profile settings.

Just like many games do.


I could imagine at least 1 serious problem and probably 2.

1. Faxes.
People would start posting faxes in their own language which makes faxes kinda useless.

2. IGM.
People might start sending messages in their own language cuz they don't think about others not being able to read it.


Ofcourse in other games people use english to when they contact others so the second one is a minor problem.
However i also noticed it is very often impossible to contact people from other nations cuz they just don't understand any language but their own...
I don't think that fits a game like this.

I could post several items like they are called in the dutch version, and i bet you wouldn't have a clue what they would be.
And why would someone who is using his own native setup know the english word to use for the product when obviously people don't even understand the differnce between Lamb and Lambs like shown a few months ago??



Maybe they could create a server with several languages and give it a try, but i doubt it will work.

Funny you mention that problem, in Runes of Magic there are reoccuring problems with that same issue, I play in a Dutch server but there are also a lot of English speaking players there.
So when people speak Dutch in the zone chat, sometimes an English speaking player asks if they can speak English please so he can understand too.
It often results in a row between players, one says this is a Dutch server so blablabla, and the other says no it is European the server just happens to be in Holland, then others join in and take sides and so on and on. ,:roll:

So lets just keep it English in here and if you don't know what a word means or you don't understand an explanation just ask.
I do that all the time.
