    Please add a subforum for French speakers only.

    Almost everyone that runs mmo-champ is from Europe anyway so pls implement this, tyvm.

    As a french Canadian, I don't think it's necessary. I mean, English is pretty much the largest spoken language. It'd be more... complicated to moderate two languages at once.

    Doesn't Curse also own the site now so double the reason to enforce English only?

    it’s unfair that we’re all expected to be amazing at English though. like sometimes you just wanna speak what you wanna speak but youre wary of posting it because someone with no other argument would be like “ha do you even English?”
    change can't wait.

    There are idiotic arses in French too. Having a french subforum won't fix that. Plus, most people can understand what you mean even if your english isn't top-notch.

    Unless we had a French version of virtually every forum, would it really help?

    MMO-Champion is an English speaking forum. I have nothing against people who speak French, I just don't see the need (or even the benefit) of adding a forum like this on MMO-Champion.

    Personally I don't critique people on their usage of the English language because I know that English is not everyone's first language; those who do are most likely just trolling anyways, best to stick them on ignore and move on with your life. I only mention things when I am confused by how someone is wording something, and I don't ask in a condescending way. (I do make exceptions for correcting people if they literally mention the wrong character/person/etc, and this is an example of what I mean above.)

    Hi, Québécois here. How about no. Both the French and the younger generation in Québec are absolutely insufferable.

    Surtout les Français.

    that's funny you say that as a frenchmen, a bit ironic

    That said, most English people suck at English as well. You're not in a small crowd.

    I mean it takes all of 10 minutes of reading about Quebec to know that they treat the French language as a form of rampant nationalism. This isn't a good thing

    You're not going to be able to take a joke any better in French than you do in English.

    I’m not from France, I just thought it was funny/expected that as a québécois he said the french were worse that bratty teenagers.

    I chuckled at “le English” but overall it’s still ignorant towards other cultures.
