Why do most of the forums appear to be non-english?
Maintenance for the week of April 7:
• PC/Mac: NA and EU megaservers for patch maintenance – April 7, 4:00AM EDT (8:00 UTC) - 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC)
• ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – April 7, 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC) - 6:00PM EDT (22:00 UTC)
• ESO Store for maintenance – April 10, 12:00PM EDT (16:00 UTC) - 3:00PM EDT (19:00 UTC)
My understanding is that localization determines what forums you see. I'm in California, playing on the NA server, yet my account seems to mostly be set to the german language forums.
How do I change the default to be the english forums?
I didn't notice any "default" language for my forums, but the reason that it looks like there are more foreign language forums is that English is only one language. "Foreign languages" actually includes quite a few non-English languages.
