lmao controversy? I cant stop laughing...

Nicht empfindlich sein, das ist nur ein forum. I have checked all my settings and my language settings are all set to English (US). I still get the french site on Chrome, IE and Firefox. My keyboard doesnt switch between english and french with ctrl-shift and I dont even have French (Canada) in my language bar, although I do have French (Im assuming France?) there. I dont know what else to change. Maybe its my ISP idk. I appreciate everyone who tried to help. Thanks.

Thanks I will try that No I am in Alberta.

try reading my post again there tips. you may notice this next time. perhaps you should take your own advice hmm?

I notice now that everytime I go to the Swtor website, it automatically takes me to the french version of the site. I am assuming that the server is somehow detecting my location, either by ip or other means, and directing me to the french site based on the fact that I am in canada. According to Statstics Canada's census 2006...the only really reliable source for this type of data: 6.8 million (21.5%) people learned french as their mother tongue and 98 thousand (0.3%) learned french and english. 6.6 million (20.8%) of people speak french as their lanaguage most often used at home, while (0.5%) of people speak french and another language as their languages most often used at home. So, simply put, slightly more than 20% of Canadians speak french. The fact is, that it is a common misconception and a biased stereotype that Canadians all speak french. I personally dont speak a word of it and find it rather annoying that I have to choose english everytime I visit the forums or community pages. Also, I find it semi-offensive that a multi-million dollar company would build a site that prescribes to such stereotypes and hope that it is a fault with my browser or something else, rather than the fault of bioware or its partners. I am Austrian, born in Vienna, and immigrated to Canada when I was 3 months old with my parents. I speak very little german, no french, and my language of chioice is English, just like the majority of Canadians (78%+). Now, having said that, I am not pointing the finger at anyone, and Ive already said that it could be my browser or my computer. I just find it weird that it only happens on this site and not many others, but I have no ill will towards the creators of SWTOR at all. I love the game, and I play whenever I can. I am very happy with the games progress and look forward to a long stay here at SWTOR. Ive played almost every MMO out there, some for a short time (WoW ugh), some for a very long time (EQ, EQ2, AoC etc.) and I know I will be here for a very long time. Enlightenment through education, education through discussion. Just thought I would throw that out there, do with it what you will.

agreed i dont care how long i have to wait i love this game anyway!

wow you have some amazing psychic abilities there =O border-line prophet Ive been playing MMO's for almost 10 years, starting with EQ, and yes queues happen. no one is saying that there shouldnt be any queues. what the basis of this thread started out as is that if we are in day 3 of early access and queues are up to 60 minutes+ on NA serves and 2 hours+ on some EU servers, then on launch wait times will be even longer. A logical, intelligent debate is in progress here, but feel free to repeat the word "genre" as many times as you like while you pretend you are the super gamer you think you are =D

LOL niiiiiiiiiice

its my party and ill cry if I want to.

well... the game rocks... when you actually get to play it

yep queues are a part of gaming, BUT like the quote above says.. if its this bad already then what are we going to do when launch comes around and we are waiting for hours to play. paying a monthly subscription for waiting to play is not an ideal launch scenario. just saying. please insert your condescending and uninformative remarks here =D

yep, d/c here and am waiting AGAIN. I wait longer in queue than i get to play sometimes. a lil frustrating. AWESOME game, I love it, and I have no intentions of quitting, but still its a pain in the butt
