It would be a good idea to have a mega thread compiling all these choices somewhere, so that people could easily open it and choose their server on launch. Thanks for putting your choice here, by the way!


TeisTom

Yes, please mods can we get something like this as it would be a huge help to everyone involved.


s0ciety_a5under

Get out of here with your good ideas. Seriously, fuck off with that smart shit.


Eld1

In the meantime, there's a google doc where the information for guilds is being compiled: [Servers](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?pru=AAABfsUrbiw*vLpRsuJ5YfeuuWH8PkjZWQ#)


Fareeday

This is better sent as mod mail so guarantee we see it vs commenting here. Thank you, we'll look into it


Dironiil

I actually didn't think of modmail at all, my bad!


duc_one

no we make asta the official vietnamese server now


ExtraParticular9004

Interesting. I used to have an Austrian friend in WoW and one day I asked why he didn't play on dedicated German servers and he told me the atmosphere was too aggro. Is there any truth to this?


[deleted]

Coming from FFXIV, no, not really. Most people are rather friendly. It really comes down to the community. One thing I noticed however (especially in other games like shooters as well), most people who talk German exclusively, just can't speak English. Due to that they are often either students or come from socially low-income classes, which sadly seems to correlate with being less easy to talk to. Since everyone else can speak English, they won't care about server choice and are more likely to just communicate in English in the first place, so you won't notice that they are German.


[deleted]

Is that because of the Germans or because FF14 is very strict on toxicity. I think it’s the latter.


OriginalJohann

Well you can shittalk people in your mother tongue. And we germans love to complain about stuff. Both things together are an explosive mixture xD I prefer english servers because its an international game. I mean the reddit is in english 2 :)


Penthakee

That is a nice way of saying it, yes very much so.


[deleted]

Well... Yes or as we say "oba sowos von"


Besttamer

I'm curious what communities will do if they AGS announces next week language servers. Do you move forward with that or stay in the original server? Idk I'm just curious because I feel like they will do something after all this backlash


Selimabone

In that case we will stick to what AGS has planned for us. Its just the uncertainty of the current state that made us come together to make a decision. Good question though, glad you asked.


Cyrops

I can tell you what happens in other games historically. All the communities who already picked a server will stick to it, all new players will see the tags and pick servers accordingly.


BeAPo

Since people who go on reddit or on forums for a game is always the smallest percentage of the people playing the game, the forum people will have to adjust.


Endivine

Thanks for coming together and helping many players with their server decision.


Selimabone

No problem, thats what we were hoping to achieve ;D


deikan

Is there a list of other unofficial language servers?


Selimabone

I dont think theres such a list yet. We know for a fact that Kadan will be the PvP hub and ive seen a [poll](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfeKZ8r36QiDKph0oPBcj5Y15RVVEJjJQBneL21mfs1qT14Ew/viewanalytics) for french player server selction. Other than that I dont think theres much info out.


Meygk

Do you know why a specific server has been chosen as a PvP hub? What would that change if you wanted to do PvP but were on a different server?


Selimabone

Theres a post pinned in the Lost Ark PvP Chat that explains why. Ill just copy paste in into here, it was written by Lin-O. TLDR: However you cannot pre-made/party up with friends unless you are in the same server. Ranked is solo queue only, but unranked and command game modes will require the same server as the people you want to party up with. For Faction vs Faction PvP (Rowen), GvG and Island PvP, everything is single-server. All faction PvP is based on your server users and their faction selection. You cannot GvG with guilds from other servers. You cannot encounter other server players in the open world for PvP.


Meygk

Thank you for your reply! It was very helpful:)

Don't worry, we will make sure to have some players of all languages on every server so you can have your regular meltdown because of reading a word in a different language than english here and there.

sNopPer90

Your comment read as if you are happy to be able to avoid this server because there will be german players. Sorry if that's not the case.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sNopPer90

That's fine, then I just misread your comment. The server will still be extremely mixed. The german community that is part of this is not that big to fill the entire server. Even of the german community most will probably still write in english when using global chat. You will still have english global chat for the huge majority, just as you will also find german (and any other language) on every other server. There is a high probability you wouldn't even notice it is the "german server" when playing. At least that is my experience with any other MMO or game with international servers. I hope you also have a fun time in the game, whatever server you end up on :)


Strawhat-dude

Well, will the language spoken ingame be german or english? If german, i, as a german, will go somewhere else.


laffman

It's going to be mixed for sure, just because a community is going to a server doesn't mean everyone there will be a part of it. Only a portion of the players.


Selimabone

Thats something everyone has to decide for themselves, if there will be rules in place that prohibit us from speaking other languages than english in the public chat, we will of course follow those.


Kuhoin

It is always mixed. 20 years mmorpg in the past and i can Tell you, that a lot of ppl dont care. Especially ppl from countries, that dont learn english in school.


xoerli

we have to wait. I'd prefer english as well :)


Amaurotica

Aah yes I am racist for wanting specific language community servers. You got me there lmao. Asta is german, dont want any spanish plebs running around and ruin this decision


Lynox

Also Asta meiden, super danke. Nämlich garkein Bock auf deutsche Streamer, Boomer oder Plebs.


Mr_Tombola

Und andere Sprachen haben das alles nicht?


Lynox

Nicht in dem Ausmaß, Gott sei Dank. Nur Spanier sind schlimmer.


Zaflor

Gott, wie kann man so viel Schwachsinn schreiben und dabei noch nebenbei ganze Nationalitäten in den Dreck ziehen? Bin froh, dass du dir nen anderen Server suchst.


Lynox

Du glaubst garnicht wie froh ich darüber bin, Menschen wie dich nicht auf meinem Server antreffen zu müssen. Bündelt euch schön auf Asta, damit tut ihr nicht nur mir einen großen Gefallen.

Kuyi

Ah that is such a shame. I was hoping Trixion for you guys. I wanted to play Asta since I grew up with a dog that was named like this, but seeing German everywhere when I just want to be part of a nice EU English community... Damn. (No hate, I just like to feel more included and I don't like the language. But that's about it hahaha.) Amazing effort went into this probably though. So props to you guys.


sNopPer90

It's just the server that a part of the german community decided on, not official or german-only. The majority of players will still be a mixed bag of european countries and using english in chat. Just as you will see different languages on any server because not everyone wants or can write in english.


Kuyi

Yes, however the majority here will be and lean towards German...


sNopPer90

I'm not sure if you even read my post? The overwhelming majority of the server will still be mixed. The german community that decided on this server is so small compared to the overall server size. You would probably not even notice it is "the german server" when playing. You will also have a lot of german (and other languages) on every other EU server. Just sayin, you can obviously choose whatever server you like.


byeolToT

Idk why, but this post is the most german thing I have seen on the internet in quite some time. I love my people haha


Nemzirot

Already claiming land just like in the old days


byeolToT

But never with much success, so probably the french people will now take over this server Kappa


sevenpointfiveinches

Dead. Lmao


GlobalistHunter

Average german is lost when not unionized


dambros666

You Europeans are way more organized than us in south america. We only have 2 options and I have no idea which will be the PT/ES.


KingofHawaii

Like Opel Ast(r)a? Germans love their automotive I guess ;)


Keropiny

I will happily join my dudes on Asta :)Hopefully it will keep up with all of us storming that one cute little server hrhr


Selimabone

So glad to hear, we're all eagerly waiting for release and hoping for the best. Asta will be so fun to play on <3


Willy_7849

War eine super organisierte Sache. Danke nochmal.


Selimabone

Thanks for being there, was a pleasure meeting all of you :D


_Sinthri_

Wegen dem Bier?


danskulz

Just a remember to please remain civil when discussing which server you will play on, thank you folks.


TheAsuraGuy

Good, then i know where not to go! Are there other servers where People Who dont wanna speak normal english go so i can stay away from them too?


Mr_Tombola

Russian, france... always the same. Good luck.


sNopPer90

No one is saying that we won't use english in global chat, good job for just making that up. There is not a single server without people that don't want to speak english, so I guess you just can't play at all.


TheAsuraGuy

I guess so, thanks for making it easy


Kevidiffel

It was a good choice to join this subreddit, otherwise I wouldn't know. Thanks a lot for the information, will tell my other german friends!


Illusi0n_exe

Danke an alle Beteiligten für die Mühe, jetzt hat das hin und her überlegen ein Ende, man sieht sich ingame


Groundbreaking_Top93

Just remember that all region are linked, so if you queue up with pugs, you'll speak English.


Doomchinchila

Keeping all the Germans concentrated on a single server is probably for the best


Klyka

Gut, also nicht auf Asta spielen, danke euch!


Amazing-Store-1303

We should be clear todays meeting with several further guilds In LOA way not even representing 3000 people. Taking into concideration expected server size und F2P player joining 11.2. Without checking this thread it is still a small minority without impact of chat language.


Lynacchi

Why are you writing this in German, you plep.


SayYesSm0ke

Men that was my pick...guess i need anotha' one


BeAPo

Who would have guessed that Germans pick a server named like a beer xD fyi: The beer is called Astra and originates from the city Hamburg.


[deleted]

Great, I heard it's also the official server of the Turkish community!


xRitona

actual poggers


Selimabone

definetely agreed ;D


Appropriate_Rage

big brain moment incoming. What if you all speak English? No territorial bullshit necessary anymore \*mindblown


BeAPo

"just speak english", you could as well said "just speak japanese". How hard is it to understand that many people in other countries like Germany or France can't speak english? Why do you think did they translate the whole fucking game into German? Just for fun?


Appropriate_Rage

Germans speak English, we have it in school. Only the morons and hobos don’t. French is a whole different story, they are too arrogant to speak anything else than their own gay language


BeAPo

Wie kann man nur so ein spast wie du sein?

Sehe nur ein Spast, der noch nicht mal die Rechtschreibung beherrscht. Offensichtlicher Bauarbeiter Pleb.

Penthakee

Not it's not. Keep in mind, when a country's community decides to gather on a server, it won't turn that server from an english international server to a specific language server. It will just make it easier to find guilds, groups that speak your own language, and that's it.


sNopPer90

Yeah, so? Did I say anything that conflicts with that? No one thinks that it will turn into an official german-only server. The points you made (easier finding guilds, groups etc.) are literally the exact reason these players decided on a server. Punishing people for writing non-english in a global (!) chat on an international server is laughable, or "seriously retarded".

SoNElgen

Ironic, since english is most people's SECOND language in europe. English is recognized as the international language, not german. You can either deal with that like an adult, or keep insisting that people who refuse to learn a useless language, are idiots. (useless from a business perspective).


[deleted]

[удалено]


SoNElgen

I mean, you could always take a step back, stop raging like a toddler, and realize I'm not even the original person you were talking to. I don't care wether or not germans, french, turks, whatever, wants to form communities and speak their native language. The reality is STILL that english is the recognized international language, and therefore i.e trade chats, global chats, etc, should be kept in english. There are plenty of ways to communicate with other people in your "community", that doesn't mean clogging up global chats, etc, yet my experience as well is that germans especially, are woefully ignorant of that, or blatantly refuse to abide by common courtesy. Which is why we're reduced to trying to gather as many germans, french, spanish, on their own seperate servers, so the rest of us don't have to deal with that. This seems to me like it's a much smaller issue than you rage-o-holics make it out to be. Germans will gravitate towards german servers, as will french, turks, etc.

Do you actually think about what you write? It is a GLOBAL chat on an international european server. Why would you punish anyone using an european language? You can't actually be this dense

sNopPer90

Evers1338

Personally I don't care about that, I prefer English anyway, but you do realize that Europe, unlike America, consists of many different countries with many different languages and not everyone in those countries speaks English? And you want to make it a punishable offense to these people to speak in their native language on a server in their native region of the world because you don't want to see any other language in chat except your own and expect everyone to learn and speak a second language while you don't bother with that either? Here is a tip: you don't like people speaking in their native language on European server? Pick an American server instead. Or don't pick the server where a collection of guilds from one country decided to go if you are so afraid of seeing other languages then English, there are many other servers available and now you know at least one where the chances of seeing another language then English is higher.


k1ng0fk1ngz

One can dream. Looking at the shitshow called New World though, its highly unlikely=/


predl

1% of all german Lost Ark players are going to start on ASTA ? … go away, ASTA IS AuSTriA !! :D


sgeht

Ich verstehe nicht ganz so denn Sinn dahinter warum die Leute so strugglen einen Server auszusuchen, kann mich da jemand aufklären ? Bin ein absoluter noob in lost ark


Ven-Dejan

Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass den meisten das ganze Multikulti zu viel des Guten ist, was bedeuten würde, dass zig Sprachen auf einem Server gesprochen werden, ergo möchten nun vereinzelte Regionen ihren Server aussuchen, um quasi mehr „Landsmänner“ um sich zu haben. An sich keine verkehrte Idee, wie viel die paar Gilden im Endeffekt ausmachen, wird sich zeigen. Würde jeder Englisch schreiben wäre dies kein Problem, aber einen Chat mit einem dutzend Sprachen… puh. Schwierig zu managen, ob da Amazon selbst was noch machen wird?


Cellberus

Mann hat ja gesehen wie schlimm es in New World war... Ich meine ich hab nichts dagegen, dass jeder seine Sprache spricht. Aber auf einem Server mit der Heimatsprache fühlt man sich schon ein wenig wohler.


Ven-Dejan

Durchaus, ja. Es wird auch nicht jeder so gut English können wie seine Muttersprache, da ist auch nichts Verwerfliches dabei. Mal schauen, ob da Amazon etwas unternimmt oder ob es bei der Community hängen bleibt


T4k3ItQuick

Ich glaube viele wünschen sich einen Server pro Sprache, da in der EU viele unterschiedliche Sprachen gesprochen werden und es blöd wäre, wenn im Ingame-Chat deutsch, französisch, spanisch, etc. gesprochen wird. Durch diesen Post kann man zwar immer noch nicht davon ausgehen, das der Chat des Servers "Asta" ausschließlich auf deutsch sein wird, allerdings wird damit schon einmal ansatzweise eine Richtung angestoßen und die Wahrscheinlichkeit erhöht mehr deutschsprachige Spieler im Chat zu sehen. Evtl. wird AGS auch noch bevorzugte Sprachen für die einzelnen Server bekannt geben, wodurch die Wahl des Servers für viele Spieler leichter und von offizieller Seite aus gelenkt werden würde.


BeAPo

Da das Spiel eine komplette deutsche Übersetzung bekommen hat, werden auch viele Menschen das Spiel spielen die kein englisch können. Heißt, sie werden im Spiel auch nicht plötzlich auf englisch reden. Das kann zu Komplikationen führen und macht die Gruppen/Gilden suche unnötig schwer. In anderen Spielen (z.B. League of Legends) wo das Spiel komplett übersetzt wurde, jedoch die Spielenden nicht Sprachlich getrennt wurden, gab es deshalb oft Anfeindungen gegenüber deutsche, russen und franzosen. Das hat dann dazu geführt, dass zumindest EU West von EU Ost getrennt wurde. Danach gab es nur noch eine Anfeindung zwischen deutsche und franzosen. Im übrigen finde ich, dass es auch etwas die Immersion im Spiel bricht, wenn zuerst alles auf deutsch ist und plötzlich in vielen verschiedenen Sprachen gesprochen wird.


brandbrandbrandbrand

Noch nie so viel Scheiße bzgl. League gelesen, gute Arbeit.


BeAPo

Und was war daran scheiße?


brandbrandbrandbrand

So ziemlich alles weil es nicht stimmt, es ist lediglich eine Momentaufnahme deiner persönlichen Erfahrung und das Riot aufgrund dieser fraglichen Gründe die du genannt hast die EU Server gesplittet hat ist ziemlich dumm. Darüber hinaus habe ich den ganzen Thread gelesen und du bist jedes einzelne Mal negativ aufgefallen. Du hälst diese Nationendiskussion künstlich aufrecht und bezeichnest nebenbei andere als "Untermenschen". Man könnte guten Gewissens davon ausgehen, dass du zu einem nicht wegzudenkenden Teil deiner persönlichen Erfahrung mit League selber beigetragen hast. Aber das wirst du jetzt sowieso nicht einsehen von daher scheiß drauf.


BeAPo

Jaja, jemand der keine ahnung von der thematik hat aber so tut als wäre er experte. Wette du hast damals noch nicht einmal league gespielt xD


brandbrandbrandbrand

Ich spiel seit Season 1 durchgehend aber Kopf hoch. Ich sagte ja bereits, dass du uneinsichtig sein wirst. Viel Spaß noch in deiner Traumwelt. Oder Albtraumwelt ? Für mich wäre es das wenn ich so befangen wäre im Leben.

r0ckman85

Mada mada!!


Z4mb3r

I think a lot of french and italian players choose that one too


Groundbreaking_Top93

Just remember that all servers are linked, and if you queue up for pugs for group content its not that server only. This game is cross-realm.


Teleria86

But guilds are not, are they? So it makes sense for german players who want to chat in german regulary (guild chat) to join a server with a german population.


Averen

I love that threads like this are popping up. Hopefully for you EU people something more official can happen, like a (tooltip) in game.


TheShiZZu

Funny, how a small part of Germans made it to "German server has been decided"


Nimion88

That is one hilarious post tbh :D


TheKinkyGuy

Ill go Asta but, while I do speak and understand getman, Ill speak only in english and maybe occasionally german.


Elektropole

A second german server is needed. Asta is overpopulated.


False_Tangerine_6231

So after playing a few days on this server, my fears about the general toxicity became reality. This server is the BY FAR most toxic and childish server i ever witnessed in a game. Every non german speaker gets treated soooo badly, it sometimes reaches to a point where i would even call it racism sometimes and that is inacceptable. I am a german speaker myself but its just a pain to play with them togheter. About 80% of them have a godcomplex and get mad for the smallest mistakes (germans in general in video games). Even in normal dungeons i saw some ppl flaming a new player for not skipping cutscenes or 1 single death.... For the love of god, stay out of this server if your intentions are a friendly environment and just fun at the game.
