im confused, can you play this game in the us, or just south america

From any Internet connection. Be warned most people don't speak English, unfortunately. Either they don't teach English in schools over there in Argentina, or they're all 13 years old. I'm still not sure

That is not a nice thing to say, magnet. Although I'm almost sure you didn't actually mean any offense.

I'm afraid that you're wrong. Many Spanish-speaking players can speak English, but many think "why are we going to speak in English if we're the majority? They should learn Spanish". That's not my case, as you can see.

Come on people, that's a joke, but it's true that it happened to me to play with argentinian players when I was exping at lower level, and said "Golems or Aquantises?" and they replied "no habla ingles". It only gets worse in the WZ, but of course a lot of spanish-speaking players make efforts too

. And all the players from Spain I know do speak English when I play with them.

And just so you know, as you can see from my location, English isn't my mother tongue either.

Ok, ok, the point was that it sounded a little bit offensive, but indeed it was a joke. It seems that sense of humor is not the same thing for us

Put it down to cultural differences

i learned that many spanish speakers actually dont speak english or only very bad. So i dont blame them.
Its fun to communicate with my very limited spanish skills and their bad english

One of my ex-girlfriends from Germany told me this joke:

What do you call some one who speaks 3 languages?
- Trilingual.

What do you call some one who speaks 2 languages?
- Bilingual.

What do you call some one who speaks 1 language?
- American.

I (American) can speak in about 4 different computer languages, but can only grasp the English language.. and even then it's iffy.

Find an English guild and you'll be all set.. other wise you'll feel very lonely in Realm chat.
