EVE General Discussion

This is just for fun. After seeing the post about French localization coming to EVE and the request for a French forum, I began to think about the language differences in this game, and how great it is playing with such an amazingly diverse player base. So my question is, to improve your game experience and enjoyment, what language would you want to know, beyond your native language. I ask this as someone who is mostly an English speaker (with some casual Spanish).

I would like to know Russian. They have a big player base and seem so foreign to me. Russia seems so foreign and different to me as an American and former service member.

What about you all? What language would you want to know, to better enjoy EVE?

Eve made me started to learn english.

Eve should have it's own language for tasteful RPing. "Scrub" is a beautiful word.

Probably russian for me. So many communists in eve and it seems like a pretty neato language.

Dothraki.

It would be really out of place, not to mention everything would be horse analogies.

Java, C++ or Python.

I know some Russian, it's hard to speak but easy to understand, you just need to spend a lot of time listening to it, watch movies or listen to music, spend time studying, if you don't spend a lot of time around a language, you'll have to memorize more, it seems overwhelming which deters a lot of people but so much of the way we are and how we evolve is a life time process anyway, you just need to start one day. Then you blink your eyes and you realize 7 years went by and you have an excellent skill that you EARNED. I would suggest something like french, or german. Learning a completely different alphabet can be hard for a while so I wouldn't even bother with something like Japanese or mandarin, but anything is doable if you have enough dedication, you just need to stick with it.

edit- just wanted to add that with the amount of time it takes, pick something you like listening to, for me it was Russian but if it's japanese for you then do that. those languages just aren't for me, i'd rather be really good at one then ok at 3 or 4, and if I can do it then anyone can, you just need to decide to start.

My own one, Gaelic.


Grrr Britain...

R'lyehian.

You are speaking of a result, while the result runs ontop of the base, which is fundamentally binary at it's core. Something is either true of false, it's there or it's not there, and binary can be both there and not there once it is connected into bits. Quantum entanglement is at it's heart, binary. And at that, you are basing your forum opinion on a projection (as many have), not the source. This is deeper than any wikipedia article one can comment from. So it remains, you cant fix stupid, not with our present tools and communications.
