They would talk to bjorn and bjorn wouldn't even respond or ignore them because he couldn't understand them. Bjorn does not do english very well. You talk to him in english and he takes what you said and interprets it totally backwards most of the time (intentionally or unintentionally, I don't know). We need a PWA that is bilingual(or however you spell it). Someone that can understand most people.

Back when i started graal somewhere around 98-99. Classic was the gold server and GK or Bomy moon never existed. I played a free server called dino valley. It had a lot of potential. 50+ people a day(that was good back then). Then Jagen came and some other german people took it over and that was the end of that server.

My point is stop hiring people that can't understand 80-90% of the playercount. That is why a lot of people quit.
To make conjectures who, how much and what "the germans or people somewhere close to germany" understand or not are hogwash.
1. Somewhere close to germany people are talking a lot of different languages. But in almost every country people are also talking english (in contrast to the majority of US citizens).
2. This game was scripted by german scripter.
3. Because of corrupt staff in the past the management decided not take more care about the current and further staff, so if the staff is unknown or not good enough to do an excellent developing job, they have no chance to become a scripter or developer for GK.
4. A developer don't need to talk to the players, but to script what the managemnet want him to do.

5. Jagen was staff from US and corrupt as hell, and we (the staff from germany and somewhere close to it) convict him and getting him globally banned.
6. PWA's are for playerworlds not for Gold Servers, but you are maybe right, the current PWA's are from USA and so far I know they do not speak germany or french, not sure about other languages. Maybe Unixmad and Stefan should hire some new PWA's from Europe.

7. People quit because of many different reasons and there are also almost every day new players coming, maybe they are playing in diff. timezone so you dont see them.

Fact is: we are willing to hire staff, but we have precise conception what we want and what we dont want and until today we didnt find such a person.

PS.: I hope you can understand my bad english, if not I'm very sorrowful.
