Russian language in chat

Hello!Dear Anet, many of russian-spoken people think that Russian localization will not ever been realized... If it is true, can you please at least add a Russian symbols in chats, as it made in text fields of Black Lion Market or in Gem Store?Russian-spoken people would be very grateful to you.

It's not just Russia, either! Lots of people work with Cyrillic on a daily basis!

I agree. We need Cyrillic in the chat!

Yeah guys, this proposal sounds really good. Let's implement it.

I've been in games where this was possible. The result was a large hostility between 3 "factions"; Russians, Turks and the rest of Europe. This game is fun for a lot of people because the general population is nice (if you avoid PvP and raids) and the random chatter. This will likely kill it, unless they were to make a Map-Russian chat and it would only be possible there.

The idea of implementing additional symbols than latin letters into the game is a nice idea, but afterwards many other languages should be implemented also - chinese and arabic are the biggest language groups. And that's quite a big task. Additionally just think, why GW2 has only 4 language versions, while GW1 had also polish (my native tongue) and russian?

I really like the russian language, consider it to be one of the nicest languages I know, but I am definitely against implementing cyrillic symbols into the game. Many people can not read them.

Fear of cyrillic is understandable, but at least in guild chats it wouldn't hurt the feelings of non-cyrillic players much .

Comes back to my suggestion of a map-Russian chat or something. If it's designed to be kept out of "open" chats to encourage the random chatter there it's perfectly fine. I have no issue with any language being spoken between people or in "private" areas. Though as a non-English native that speaks about 5 languages, I still wouldn't use any but English. It's a universally accepted language and easy to learn.

But I think I saw an option in chat settings which allows to hide messages in other languages, so what's the problem?
