As someone who frequents foreign language channels, it is great to have this large fracture in the community. Before, I only needed to have a single window open to have a general public chat with other people. I think there are only six or so vying to be the main channel for a single language. There is no way that this will be problematic at all I don't think. In a socially based game, it is important to keep the community as fragmented as possible.

Now we have serveral player created language rooms with not trustworthy mods.. No mod would be better than this state.
Yes, you can see it already. People are trying to promote the channels that they own by getting their friends to talk in them/create some sort of entertainment while just recruiting in all of the other language channels. They might have near the same people in them, but people are slowly trying to drain people away to their channel so that they can have control. If they manage to kill off the other channels by making theirs popular and centralize native speakers to that channel, it would be all to easy to isolate other speakers that they do not like simply by banning them.
If you did this very same thing with mining chat that you have done with the language channels, you can be near guaranteed that anyone coming in asking questions about mining would be in threat of being banned. "Not talking about mining in mining chat" has become a popular meme there. I only really even stick around anymore to answer questions if I see them, because the chat has gone to trash. If random people were able to hand out bans to people they didn't like in that channel, it would be long dead and people wouldn't have that sort of place to come and ask general questions about a specific topic. |

Interesting times ahead.
Those are the exact channels that I am talking about 
I like the channel that was first posted in https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=376046&find=unread that thread as it gives a lot of information which is incredibly newb friendly. Though, I do not think a lot of native speakers will think to join "German" over "Deutsch" or "Deutschland/+ūsterreich/die Schweiz" etc etc. It's still better than nothing. |
