So I don't agree with multi-language support. First off the majority of the percentages given are English speaking as primary. Most of the others are not as high in percentage in use as that primary. Second off, most of those in other countries speak English as a secondary language and almost fluently. At least fluent enough to get a point across and to understand an English speaking user.

Now lets get onto the logistics of all of this. If we add in multi-language forums; we are going to see a huge spike in activity, but most primary English speaking users won't be able to help them at all. Not due to ignorance, but due to the lack of multi-language education in the countries. It is very limited in the United States and moreso limited to Spanish and French. Mainly, Spanish. Which we all see how far that goes with people here.

I would assume to rather have someone struggle and ask me a question than to have them ask someone who won't be able to help them. I don't know. I think if it came down to needing an interpretor(spelling?); there is always babelfish!

For those advertising the Italian forums... your last discussion was in 2010. Those forums are abandoned and dead it seems. We are the only active forum dedicated to Sphere.

@Gyros: You all do have a huge UO following, but the Turkey base is a bit secluded from the rest of us and very isolated. I remember Jeem sending me a link to a couple forums where everyone was excited about me working on High Seas. Issue is, I never finished it. No one showed here that they wanted it. If people had shown interest; I might have finished it and released it a year ago. No one cared. No one from Turkey came on here to express interest. This is my point. Everyone is segregated and at times, I won't lie, I sometimes worry Sphere might die and it discourages me to even be around....

We need a unifed community. Diverse or not. People need to come to one focal point. One hub. We all need to communicate.

As such. I know almost every user speaks English. Broken or not. So why struggle with forums with no developers or veteran scripters around; when you can come here.
