Answer to much the same question on FH.

Translation: It was limited to people playing on a french server but I have to keep the illusion of it being open up at all costs.

I know, it's my fault I can't speak french, tool.

[quote="Mojo"]Kinda like the world series is to the US ]

Although the name actually comes from the original sponsor of the tournament The New York World.

The French though are honest in their chauvinism, they don't pretend to be all inclusive

Vive le difference

I once held a 8 vs 8 competition as well, tho I hosted if on a Swedish forum, which have no members but if you found out about it you would have been able to register to the forum and sign up, I didn't advertise or post the link to the forum anywhere tho. But still accessible for everyone if you just manage to find it.

I got to little interests so I had to cancel it tho

yet another downside of being a UK/NOT_PlayingonFRENCHserver subscriber.

hurray ?

i mean, only 1 server soon, prydwen "incident" and some other i cant recall and now this

almost suprised, almost !

Shouldnt be stuff like this be done on all servers at the same time? I mean ppl would feel like being a EUROPEAN subscriber instead of being a french - german - whatever player...
