I didn't know I was typing in English chat since I was in the trade chat window. These mods need to chill

I remember when mods give out warning or advise even when you typed lfg/lfm or wts/wtb in Eng chat. Now they're blatantly giving 6 hours mute for this? XD

The question is are the mods WHISPERING the warning or are they putting it in the chat these people are typing in... because just like the OP and another have said.. they "accidently" spoke in the wrong chat when they thought they were typing in trade chat so if they're NOT on the correct window they're not gonna see what the mod is saying to begin with..

IE: mod is typing in eng but the player / OP has the trade window open. The MOD needs to be able to whisper the player and let them know they're typing in the wrong chat. If this isn't possible then SBI needs to do a better job at making chats easily distinguishable or noticeable so that these mistakes don't happen.. hell I still make the mistake from time to time cause I get mixed up with my chats and for what ever reason my preferred chat gets reset to global/eng or something but I'm usually able to notice it before I get muted. new players won't see this though.

If a mod is gonna mute someone they need to make sure the player is able to see their message which could be done via a whisper.

SBI needs to make it so that either mods can whisper or message someone and it will show in their chat no matter what OR make it so that whispers are enabled by default for every chat tab IE: English, local, trade, lfg etc.. so that new players who have no clue what they are doing can see it and know they are in the wrong.

Its lame and actually pretty toxic that this is a thing to begin with and doesn't look good either.. imagine being a new player.. you're not understanding what's all going on and this happens so you end up with a 6 hour mute so now you can't ask for help in help chat or local or anything... you're just straight muted..

If I was a new player and that shit happened that's really quick way to have people just quit the game right then and there... it's pretty bad.

At some point this is gonna be a bigger problem for SBI because like CCP Games is dealing with right now.. they're having a hard enough time trying to keep new players in their game.. Albion will eventually experiencing this and in some cases I feel like SBI is already experiencing this on the NA Server because it's as good as dead.

The EU Server legitimately killed the NA Server. SBI might as well call it BR Server because it's full of nothing but people from Brazil pretty much.. almost ALL of the top guild/alliances are Portuguese or Spanish and even the English speaking guilds that are around also have a pretty sizable Portuguese or Spanish players.

MAKE ALBION GREAT AGAIN and LONELY MEN being the bigger of the bunch that have a decent English presence.. but otherwise it's not much.. ARCH maybe? a few others.. there's almost nothing for English speaking alliances/guilds.. even players.. I was playing for the last like 4-5 months and out of ALLLLL the times we went out ganking we found 2 people who spoke English and they actually ended up joining the guild. All the other times just nothing but Portuguese or Spanish..

either way.. RIP Albion.. it's a EU/AS game now basically.. NA will eventually die off because majority of players are EU and a small Asia/Oceanic player base.

Edit: before ya say "Oh just play on EU or AS like everyone else is doing"...

I live in California and have 230-250+ ping to both servers because I just happen to be dab smack in middle of the furthest point.. it'd be better since they have the EU server if they just moved the NA server to like Texas or something or maybe more like Chicago? somewhere more central so that it appeals more to more of the US/Canada and also South America. players and we get better ping..

If majority of EU players can play and have ~40-100ish ping then why can't US players? kinda dumb to have a server that's on the complete opposite side of the country. I understood having it in Washington because it was better for EU players but they legit have their own server now... Go play there.

SBI said for the longest time that they would NEVER split the servers... it supposed to be 1 world... guess that went out the window huh?.. but that's what happens when you sell your game to a greedy mobile games company and their investors want to see ROI (Return on Investment)
