I play on an english speaking server. I'm english.
Recently there have been many guilds recruiting that are using "scandanavian" based languages in trade chat.
One guild in particular is stating that ONLY people from Holland and Belgium are allowed to join. Is this type of exclusionism OK as the guild belings to 1 person or is it against any rules set down by blizzard?
It's fine Shirq. I mean, obviously we love to promote a sense of community amongst our player-base and it would be awesome to see all Guilds open to anyone, but we understand the logistics Guild Masters have to face in order to succeed in structuring the fun of their members. Times of play, language, common interests, ease of communication (not just in-game but verbally and through possible external websites etc), get all these things right and it all contributes to a more efficient and fun experience. If that means doing it in a specific language, then so be it.
