DrumKilla.1836 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 It would be great if the game was localized into Russian, but we do not even hope for that. But people deserve the Cyrillic alphabet in the chat. People who participate in the life of the project, bring you profit and bring new players! Wrong action is not worthy of respect, but is a concrete answer. Inaction deserves only hatred and charity.There are many nationalities. Love alone. It’s hard to love someone else’s, not your own.

And if they would add Cyrillic they should also add Arabic and Hebrew. And then we have a map chat full of different alphabets. That would not be nice. So better not start with Cyrillic.

What symbol Latin can offer to replace 'ь' or 'ъ'? What letters Latin have to replace 'й' and 'ё'? Is there any eqivalent to 'э' 'ы' 'щ' 'щ'? Answer is - none. Any language has it's grammar, and the lack of those letters, simply break the major understanding of language, if it will be written in translit. And it's simply mind blow. Cyrillic and Latin share some same-looking letters, but not the grammar.I am in russian guild. We have many players who determined to play the game, without the full-scale knowledge of english language. And imagine how hard it is for them to even write in translit-mode.

Good luck. This topic (and dev response) was more about full translation. OK, i can understand, that translation of game its too much and not cost-effective at the moment. But we asking about Cyrillic, at least in guild chat and party. Its trivial feature in terms of implementation and the same time really essential.As I said.. it may seem trivial, but maybe its a triffle more work than we think and potentially not cost effective.

Sleepcount.4953 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 More info here And here https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/88671/appeal-of-the-russian-speaking-community-guild-wars-2-to-arenanet-and-mike-zadorojny/p1Our fellow tyrians! You may not know that we, the Dredge, have our own, ancient and beautiful alphabet. It’s called Cyrillic.We really like to be participants of every activity in Tyria. So many letters, orders and instructions we have to write! Of course, most of us can understand and speak English pretty good. However, typing in English is a problem of another sort...Right now we have no Cyrillic support. Young Dredge get their fingers twisted, typing messages and instructions in English. Trying to directly adapt English letters to Cyrillic causes terrible headache!Molenin and Molachev did nothing to bring Cyrillic in Tyria… We don’t blame them much, though. We’re humbly waiting for better times.Surely you know some famous moles, who used to write in Cyrillic. There’s even a peak named after one of them: Dostoev!And even more! Famous moles like Molenosov,Baryshmolov (we don’t talk much about him),and even Mole Tolstoyall of them used Cyrillic as well. So now you may already understand what kind of request we have. With respect to memory of all famous moles of ancient times, we, the moles of present day, call you, fellow people, lords and ladies of Tyria, for help.The whole moletariat from Shiverpeaks to Maguuma jungle calls: «Mole or nothing!», «Ready or mole!»Help us bring the support of Cyrillic alphabet for all in Tyria!Thanks in advance for your extremely helpful attention to this matter.Respectfully yours, The Dredge (moles).A moment of being serious.Dear ArenaNet! Sixteen countries use Cyrillic everyday. In every part of the world you may find someone using it.We understand, of course, that full Russian translation is impossible for many reasons.However, with the greatest respect, and with deep love to Guild wars 2 game, we, the multicultural Cyrillic typing and writing society, ask you to let us use Cyrillic alphabet in GW2.We hope you may find our request worthy of consideration.

Solorien.8612 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Alexander Inoy, thank you!!! Arena Net, we love your game Guild Wars 2! Thank you for it! I learn English to understand the dialogues of the game. English is no longer a problem for me. We just need to have the possibility of using the Cyrillic alphabet, when we are talking with our friends in guild chat, wispers and etc. It's not so hard to do I think.
