For North America?
Well I just got done with a quick argument with some guy on the Outspark forums on whether Outsparks Fiesta is only for North America or not. He posted links to the gamengame site and the interview with Daniel Chang as evidence supporting himself.
You don't have to read the stuff below, I just posted it for the curious, but what do you guys think? Is this Fiesta for North America only or no?
Me:
Outsparks version is global, so far. No where does it say it is only for U.S, Canada, and Mexico, except for on gamengame. But that ad was made by gamenagame, they did that because they blocked North American IPs. So the ad's kind of like a "You're not allowed on this one so go to this one, this is for you", when really, Outspark is more global than gamengame.
Also, I hear gamengame only does betas. I'm sure its not that they can't play a Fiesta, its the fact all of their hard work is gone.
Him:
did you even take a look at the very first link?
it clearly says for NA player.
it took me 1 secound to google that when this all first happend.
ill find more if need be proving this is for Na players if i must but that alone is enough if you ask me
Me:
Afew quotes from the interview...
"Unlike many other MMORPGs available in western markets, Fiesta will always be free to download and enjoy."
Western doesn't just refer to "North America".
"Outspark wanted to bring it to an English speaking audience."
Still didn't say North America.
"Accordingly we're grateful to Daniel Chang of regional distributor Outspark for taking time to fill us in on the English-language version of developer Ons On Soft's game, which you can check out now in open beta."
...Again, didn't say North America.
"The most important ingredient in the evolution and planning of a game is the player community. Fiesta has only been available to English-speaking players for a short time, but we've already seen several fansites pop up, and a lot of player activity in and around the game, from guild sites to user-generated movies posted on video sharing sites like YouTube."
Again.. no North America.
Him:
im gonna assume your grasp on english is bad.
and point out what you missed

meaning its free unlike most wester market games that are not.

yeah i think china when you say english speaking audience./sarcasam
take your head from your butt for just one secound and accept it.
this game was ment for NA players. your lame attempt to prove me wrong is backed in ZERO Fact.
where as that artical supports me and so does the IP ban
and gamengames website as well.
Me:
Okay so... Chinese people can't speak English? Only North Americans speak English? Thats basically what you're saying.
For all you may know, I might live in South America.
Him:
why are you still trying to argue this.
when people say english speaking they think america or euope not china korea or japan.
stop trying to be ingnorante.
Me:
I'm not arguing, have I thrown an insult at you? You just called me ignorant, thats how its spelled if you're wondering. You apparently lack culture. When I think of "english speakers" I think of people that speak English, I don't think about America.
My goal that I set was to prove that this version of the game isn't just for North America. But you apparently can't accept that North Americans and select Europeans aren't the only people who speak English.
Afew people requested I keep going..
Me:
Half of the people on this game aren't American. I have friends in the Phillipines, Singapore, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and more.
If Outspark's Fiesta turned into a North American only game, they would lose A LOT. Quite frankly, if half of my friends couldn't play, I'd end up losing interest too. Its the players that make the game for me.
I'm bored of this and this is my last message to ThreeC, or is it?
This is an intelligent discussion, not a "everyone shut up now because ThreeC is right and everyone is wrong" thread. You may have ran out of things to say, you may be ranting your butt off, I don't know. But that is my opinion and I'm sticking to it. I love the world and its people, I love the fact that I'm playing a game with people from all cultures, and I hope it stays that way.
I was just supporting my opinion and thoughts on Fiesta not being just for North America.
And when you picture Europe as an English speaking continent, which countries do you picture? Because very few countries in Europe have English as their native language.
I'm a friendly person, but I will not back down in an argument or debate.
