So a thought I had originally when the minigames server first launched, which I think could apply here, was to establish a few different "leagues" based on time zones. So Euro league, North America League, Australia League, maybe an "Other" League? Setting up leagues/proper times would be a bit of an effort, but I think having different days/times for certain regions, then (probably weekend times), a whoever shows up time. Maybe something like Mondays and Wednesdays at 8PM GMT are the Euro times, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8PM EDT are the North American times, and Wednesdays and Thursdays 8PM Aussie Time, with earlyish Saturday being the "official whoever shows up" time?

re: Team Gates - Are these gates able to be warp signs like those used during event server contests? Or are we supposed to use a bunch of iron doors for entry? (Obviously on the creative server where we're building the theoretical warp signs wouldn't work, but placing demo signs that get the point across.) Edit: Also - Are we able to request certain items be provided, either in chests or (if people can warp sign in) have items spawned at the time they warp in?

As someone who spends far too much time playing... Around, say, 1 AM - 7 AM EST is a time when the least percentage of native-English speakers are on and Europeans are largely the majority. This is almost never an issue in any way. And I'm quite certain that this topic did not originate because it's a frequent issue from a majority of users, but a semi-unique case involving a few specific individuals. Having been around a lot, I know Zomise doesn't care when there's the occasional sporadic German/Spanish/French/whatever chat session with many people sharing their better-or-worse skills in the given language and being part of the community. It was that, during these "off hours," a select few were essentially spamming chat in a single foreign language, even after other users had asked on numerous occasions that they form a clanchat or take it to PM. From what google translate could offer up, it seems a lot of these (in this case Swedish) general chat messages came down to were basically reporting what had happened. UserA is off doing something somewhere, UserB and UserC and UserD are all continuously asking where that certain somewhere is over the course of many messages...things which, even in English, would most likely be asked by the other users to be taken to /m or /clanchat. At heart I don't think it's Zomise saying "100% English all the time", but pointing out that spamming general chat in a different language isn't often picked up on because it's 1) in another language so few people know what's being said (and how spammy it may be) and 2) the other language(s) stem from other timezones where fewer people might pick up on the spammy nature of the messages. TL;DR - The point wasn't that English should be the only language spoken ever, but that a few individuals were spamming chat in a foreign language even after being asked to form a clanchat or take it to PM, the same kind of chat-spam that would be warned in English as well.
