and i pointed out with all logic that this is a rather obvious mistake/oversight since all that crap got changed AFTER the last listed update of the file. As i linked with proof to an official statement from the highest person the players will get to talk to who said its the same for all regions, with checking the homepage for ALL other gameforge-run regions, ALL regions have the guidelines linked including EN-US, but all regions except EN-US got the updated file for the terms. Because "F you american players", thats why. Yeah, sure. Makes totally sense.
Honest question because i do not know the answer:
Does GAI aka Gameforge America Inc even exist anymore except on paper? (US Support staff maybe?) - The (paid) folks who were not based in Berlin are all(?) gone like Dionaea and Nytefall. Hell, your current CM is from Croatia, which lies in ... ding... Europe. I take a wild guess and think he's working from either Berlin or Karlsruhe...
Even US-ES (!!!) has both files updated. What more does it need to bring you to "someone forgot to update the freaking page"? I dont know who's responsible for updating the text files in the client, if that is to do for Runewaker, wait another year for it to happen if its not the DE file.
Money question: Please explain how US-ES (what exactly might that be? for everyone in north(?) america able to understand spanish?) has both updated and is stated to be run by Gameforge Berlin from Germany, while US-EN (which is atleast on Palenque essentially the same players on the same server with a different language setting - makes sense, no?)
While i do see your point, im still saying all available information given by officials and seen on the homepage points to this being a case of "someone forget to link to the correct file".
EN DE ES PL FR AU US-ES US-EN | updated guidelines to the state that was communicated by Laghmara
EN DE ES PL FR AU US-ES ........ | updated terms of use to the state that was communicated
option
a) someone forgot to update the last missing link on the freaking homepage (let alone the client, we all know Runewakers speed - i did not check it by hand, can do via FDB later if needed...)
b) the same community playing together is being run by 2 different companies at the same time under 2 different rules, even on the same server, for example Palenque which is flagged as US+ES ...
b implies c) Everyone with client language english is therefore limited to 5 accounts and everyone whos spanish is good enough to understand the game in it has no limits at all - makes perfect sense. NOT.
b+c .... Its total illogical bullcrap and does not make sense at all to be like this.
Set client to spanish, create as much accounts as you like. Oh your language is english? 5 Accounts only please. I dont care if youre the same person.
SENSE!!! ...

On the other hand, its a moot discussion anyway. Gameforge Berlin AG will be merged into Gameforge Headquarters in Karlsruhe later in this year where RoM will then be managed from (aka all who are currently working in Berlin will either need to move to Karlsruhe continuing to work from there or get a new job because Gameforge Berlin will be shutting down) so they will need to change and update everything again, and maybe, just maybe, they will get it done correctly this time so we dont have to argue about stupid stuff like this.
So we can either ask someone in blue now, get an answer, and do it again after September, or postpone this crap until after September :p
