Let me guess: You were having a party at your house where you invited all of these people and let them use your computer?
What a wrong conclusion from IPs again. In my University location are more than 1000 computers sharing 256 adresses, and a lot of students are playing between lectures. In my Daughter's collège (secondary school) 60 computers share 1 fixed IP, in the building where I live 10 computers on two flats share the same dynamic IP.
and what about cyber-Café's, and other telephone shops....?
I live about 15 km from the location of these players and could have the same address group because wanadoo is the major ISP provider in France if I used this ISP.
as you said all, what is proven is that these players may play together , may know each other or be friends. Why cannot you imagine it is the case?
I do NOT agree with Link's behaviour about french speaking in public places, and think he was trolling more than acceptable (i was present when he trolled Narus in general store, and admired her patience), and do agree with a ban decision which I would myself had taken in the same conditions.
I have heard some other players speaking spanish
ostensibly and repeatedly, though
several warnings. I have not heard of a seven days ban for any of them though.
I just think some decisions may be out of proportions due to the human nature of our GMs.
What surprises me more is that NONE of the players who answered link's post have just said that speaking english in public areas is simply a form of
RESPECT to other players who cannot understand other languages. And this is, in my opinion, the major rule any player, developer or administrator should follow.
Sentences like:
my only problem with this is it was only for a limited time....
or
It seems link , ... doesn't like to play, or maybe he likes being banned
do not contribute to anything and there is a language problem in this game. The problem will grow with the number of players. It would be better to think about it before it becomes a major one.
to Freeyorp:
"Party chat is available for private chat in groups."
I thought parties where intended to be temporary and were intended for raid or a quest.
I can't invite a French or German speaking newbie in it before he gets level 10 and the party skill (Sorry I don't speak other languages)
Parties have a very limited number of members.
Guild are not available ingame
Chat channels are not too though the /help command said the opposite (/join said it though)/
I suggest that rule 5. "Speak English on public chat." is changed to: "Speak English in public areas. Speaking your language may be tolerated in areas where you do not bother other players" until our beloved developers can find a solution to this problem. If not this rule is equivalent to "Non fluent English speaking people are not welcome to TMW".
Fortunately GM are tolerant and apply the rule wisely.

I do not understand a word. This is not even French.
