  1. There are 567 million Spanish speakers in the world and I doubt very much that everyone is poor. If you have reviewed the countries I have mentioned, it is precisely Venezuela that I did not put it on the list, although now, with the problems they have as a policy, it is easy to use them as a shield. Venezuela in particular, has long been a very rich country, since they are producers of oil and other raw materials. Their problem has been politics, not money, and that has led them to the current situation. Forgive me but the use of Spanish worldwide is much more widespread than the twenty official countries you mention. I have talked about countries where there is a significant percentage of the population that speaks Spanish and are not usually immigrants. But native populations. I give you an article from the BBC that explains it very well (although you will have to use the translator if you don't speak Spanish). http://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-38021392 In the United States, our case is not that of the German language, since it was Spain that first colonized the large areas of Florida, California or Texas and many other territories of northern America, which were later ceded (the oldest people of the United States were founded by the Spaniards) and in the south of the United States, Spanish is spoken in practically all the states. According to the 2015 census, 13.3% of the U. S. population over the age of 5 speaks Spanish in their homes, a total of 40.5 million people, are there 40 million German-speaking people in the U. S.? Forgive me and with all due respect for your language, I highly doubt it. I appreciate Germany very much and have visited it several times and I believe that the German culture and language deserves its translation, I would never dare to say that they do not deserve it for economic or other reasons. Just as I think other languages deserve it too. I know that many players think that doing this is sacrificing content creation, but I think that this is the only thing that can save this game, although they won't and unfortunately, the game will close in a few years. I also work in the management software market, more than twenty years ago and it seems to me an insult to customers to sell something with a false promise. I don't consider it acceptable to settle for saying it was a marketing invention, because that's money from people who trusted a brand. I simply stand up for what I think is fair and I will continue to do so, even if I never win. (This is something very Spanish, like our beloved Quixote.
  2. I'm sorry, but I think it's very pretentious and racist to think that among the 30 Spanish-speaking countries there are not thousands of players capable of paying their cutoa, starting with Spain itself, which is in the EU area, although you may not Remember it. Countries like Mexíco, Chile, Argentina and many others, have that capacity as evidenced by all the titles that Bioware, EA and many other brands currently sell. If you think that the entire population of these countries is poor like rats, you think you should learn a little more and leave your European throne. Countries like Panama have a very high per capita income. If you do not know geography, you should inform yourself, do not live in the post-colonial world and your North-European egocentricity does not give you the reason. Specifically and in the Spanish market, there were thousands of people who trusted in the word of Bioware that the translation would arrive and many others, who did not buy it, waiting for it to arrive. Sorry, but I do not see any economic or logical justification in that the game was translated into German or French, and not into Spanish as promised (and I know that the work had begun). You can be happy, with something, that others do not have and you do not appreciate. I mean the translation into your language.
  3. It seems to be, friend, that you have understood the background content of my message. SWTOR will end up disappearing because it has fewer and fewer players, that is something that is only a matter of time. They can be very few years already. The players who love SWTOR can continue thinking in the short term, but that is not betting on continuity. The idea of ​​including the Hispanic community is not because our proposal is supported only by 400 players willing to enter the game, but because it represents an extrapolation There are currently 30 countries where Spanish is spoken in the official language. That's a very important market, I'm telling you, just like I could talk about Chino. * Is it hard to do? Yes maybe. Does the game have few resources? Yes maybe. But if you will not have new markets, you are sentenced. Most people of Hispanic culture do not speak English and this is a reality, but if they consume video games. Do not understand this is to condemn an ​​international business to failure and this is going to die SWTOR, given that WOW and others if they understood. As I understand and I tell you with all respect, there are 6 countries where German is spoken. According to the 2015 census, 13.3% of the US population over 5 years of age speaks Spanish in their homes8 (40.5 million people). I do not speak of Spain (Europe) or of countries of Latin America, I speak of a social reality that grows every day in the US and that is unstoppable and as I do not say, not understanding change is condemning the future of your business or any future. I think if you play to learn a future language, English is fine, but you should start thinking about getting off a Chinese MMO and start practicing
  4. It seems very good that you prefer English to your mother tongue, that is a problem of your identity. I do not think that the games are in English is just a trend, nothing is further from reality, the best games are translated into different languages. Batllefront II without going any further, to give a current example, is translated into my language and many others. And that's because there is a market. The fact that players are grouped with members of their own language is natural. Keep in mind that English is not the same for a German native as for a native of southern Europe; like Spain, Italy or Greece. That does not mean that we do not know English or that we do not study it. But in my free time, I decide that I want to invest my time. I respect your opinion, but I certainly do not share it.
  5. The game was number one sales in several Spanish-speaking countries for months, and the problem is that we were promised the translation before it went on sale, this is that they deceived us.
  6. If you read the proposal, none has asked to translate the voice. Only the interface and subtitles.
  7. Thanks to all for the support, And to those who do not support the idea, we respect your reasons. In any case, we represent a community of more than 400 players, who want to enter SWTOR and ask, please, to be heard. We believe that we can economically help the game and for this reason we ask the administrators of the forum to raise our request and give us an answer to be able to inform these more than 400 players. @Keith @Eric Our test is here CHANGE.ORG
  8. This request has been made many times. And it is not a request, when the game was sold in Spain and in Latin America, we were promised that it would be translated after a few months or what is the same, we were cheated. We do not have a couple of hundred, we have four hundred and other previous proposals had more than a thousand signatures.
  9. I am also Spanish and I also know what I am talking about, and I will never finish understanding the attitude of some compatriots who sell their skin cheaply.
  10. Thanks friend. Although many find it hard to imagine, a huge push of money for the massive entry of thousands of Spanish-speaking players, would help to invest more in the game, but this will not happen if it is not translated.
  11. Do not worry I'm not offended, but I do not share your opinion. Warcraft takes more years and although its population has also dropped, it remains much more constant and survives over the years. They do not make large investments, but they are constantly including new languages, some minor ones and therefore they gain new populations of players who enjoy the old content as if it were new. I think you underestimate the importance of opening new markets (something that any international company does today). Improve the game for the current population? No doubt, that is important, but that will not help the game does not die. If you prefer that the game die, before it is translated, the best thing you can do is give way to who wants to bet on the game. That we are many.
  12. Of course, that bringing the option that the third most spoken language of the internet, you have a large group of players that would help not to lower the benefits. Now, it is clear that if one does not change the course, in the end, it ends up arriving where it is going. Ignoring the Hispanic community has not helped in the past, continue to deny it, deny the future, if that is what you want, keep locked in your idea and we will play other MMOs.
  13. It is clear that SWTOR is living its last time. The population goes down constantly and this investment can represent their last hope. Complex? Of course it is complex, but when the alternative is to disappear.
  14. At the beginning of SWTOR, the Hispanic community was promised that the game would be translated into Spanish. This never happened and many players who waited for the translation to enter the game, never bought it, despite being fans of Star Wars and the Old Republic. Now, many years later, the game reduces its population on servers and the Hispanic Community continues to hope for its translation. Only the game interface and the subtitles, is what the community asked for. Something that many members of the community would do willingly, totally free. We recently opened a petition in Change.ORG asking for this, and in a short time we have 400 signatures of players interested in entering SWTOR and this will continue to rise. With hundreds of new subscriptions, the game would have more chances of surviving more years. The investment in translating interface and subtitles is not so great and for that reason, we ask that the position of SWTOR be reconsidered on retaking this theme, long requested by the fans.

  15. I can not get into the game, after new patch. I restarted the launcher several times, I restarted my PC and I returned to reinstall the game, but I left in full screen welcome and fail to see the selector of characters, I can not come into play and open ticket, I'm subscriber I play now and I can not. :mad:
