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

That's what I've been trying to do since I started to post here, but's really difficult

Let's go to The Inn and drink something!

Yep, theres many ppl of many races playing, running the full gamut of western langages as I've yet to see any Japanese, Chinese or Korean players, at least not speaking natively.

As for the no english or 13 y/o my money is on the 13 y/o, too many cocky nubs that will kick you at low lv cause you can't speak spanish, only to see them later in war begging you to help them lol.

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
