'Select country'

Out of curiosity, why am I prompted to select a country on the characters screen?
If it is to improve connection performance, I'm up for it.
If it is to get some type of advertising targeting my country then hell no!

    The game is now PEGI 18 and in certain countries it can cause problems if you don't read the notice or other stuff.

    It's for language selection.

    What annoys me though is that the English language icon has a US flag on it... Even if you play on the EU Megaserver... What's that about then?

    Is that merely a forwarning to expect lots of bad spelling like "color" and "aluminum"?

    It just comes down to ease of use, costs and time I have to assume. Why create two English languages when one will do as we generally all know what a word means if it's spelt incorrectly to us.

    My bit about the "US language" was merely just a joke really, i can't say i ever noticed spelling inconsistencies in the game. :)

    You will also notice that there is a new notification when you first log on asking which country you’re playing the game in. If you’re in a non-PEGI country, you will go straight to the game. If you’re in a PEGI country, there will be new legal text explaining that the rating for the game has changed, and you will need to either accept or decline this change to continue.

    Patch notes are your friend.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...
