Hi, I’m Spanish native speaker but I’ll write in English for the global understanding…
First of all, I don’t like the attitude of some people here, not because they’re Brazilians they’re trolls or anything, being offensive or racist is against the rules of ToS forum, so cut that off.
That being said, the main reason for Spanish users to feel uncomfortable playing along with Portuguese-Speakers is that we can’t understand each other.
Please take a look at this map: Division de America por Idiomas (Hipervinculo) it divides America by its languages; most of Latin America’s countries are Spanish-speakers. And together with Mexico, Spain and some Central American’s and Caribbeans we are known as the Hispanic countries.
In this Closed Beta, in the rushedly-created Latin Sever the amount of Portuguese-speakers highly outnumbered the Hispanic people… English is considered the international language, I wouldn’t be playing ToS if I couldn’t speak it, so many of us don’t have problems interacting at global scale. But from Portuguese to Spanish and vice-versa that’s another tale, there are people able to speak both languages, but they are few, I’m not one of them, thus I had a very hard time interacting at that server, a sever I thought I’d find Spanish-speakers actually was a Full-Of-Portuguese high-speed chat room (I guess I can call that “spam” but I’ll not for safety reasons xP)
From my opinion the solution that tsaikoh is purposing may be accurate, but as I see things right now, IMC is more interested in having a future Dedicated-Portuguese Server. You can see it at HOME, there’s already a Plan For Portuguese and Thai Translation. And being honest, the Portuguese Speakers earned it, they’re just so many players that they need their own server. If they do, however, they shouldn’t call it Latin Server, or just more innocent Hispanic people will enter to see the Full-Of-Portuguese high-speed chat again lol.
Now, if we want a Hispanic Server (I do at least) we will have to gather enough players so IMC listens to this request. A Hispanic server might begin some day, but if you don’t tell your friends to play, and those friends doesn’t tell their friends to play, well… We lacked presence in this CBT, and if it stays like that I doubt IMC will push the Spanish Translation patch for a dedicated server very soon. I’ll stick to international servers for now… And like someone else say, if IMC makes another “Latin Server” like that, I’ll stay in the international, not because I think Brazilians are trolls or I don’t consider myself Latin American, but because I’ll understand people more in English than in Portuguese.
TL;DR: A Hispanic Sever might be a good idea once we prove ourselves we’re many, otherwise, international server will always welcome us. The current Latin Server shouldn’t be called that due to the high amount of Brazilian players, they deserve a more dedicated server, and IMC is working in giving it to them.
