Perople in differant cities behave slightly differant from each other, even if they're from the same country - country to country the differance is even greater of course. We're all still human, by and large we all get up, kiss the wife goodbye and go to work of a day, yet what is concidered polite and acceptable in Brazil certainly wouldnt in Japan. A sociologist -which I am far from being - could write up a lovley report on WoW relm behaviour patterns and being the geek that I am, I might enjoy reading it. <br /><br />I hear on some relms bidding on drops is the norm - thankfully I've not run into that personally, some griefing is every day and on most, thank the maker they are polite and normal. I play Anachronos EU, I'd love to hear it if anyone has an opinion on my server :)Rafflesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-10040047893625177952012-01-06T03:39:40.538-05:002012-01-06T03:39:40.538-05:00I presume the system works the same as in Europe, ...I presume the system works the same as in Europe, which is basically it first tries to Group you with people from your own server, then with people from your Battlegroup and then finally with the Region.<br /><br />I can imagine this to be less obvious in the US as it is in Europe, as with PvP it means you will end up fighting other language servers (ie 'English' Realms vs German Realms, vs. French Realms etc. You never fight with people from those Realms in the same team, however).<br /><br />As for Realms havign a certain 'flavor' : as far as end-game PvE is concerned, many consider Hakkar-EU and Crushridge-EU (both sporting loads of Italians) to be pretty much 'Jersey Shore in WoW'.<br /><br />While they certainly tend to be talkative, I never noticed them to be significantly worse than other Realms as far as PvP is concernedNetherLandsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-19304807670881643182012-01-05T11:12:46.731-05:002012-01-05T11:12:46.731-05:00Weird, I thought battlegroups were a thing of the ...Weird, I thought battlegroups were a thing of the past, but I have never grouped with people from any of those servers.<br /><br />On our side of things it seems that every time we end up with a jerk it is someone from Sargeras... I simply ignore people that start to grief others or kick and have not kept track mentally if they all belonged to the same server.Logtarhttp://logtar.com/wownoreply@blogger.com
