Met New Player w/ language barrier (Spanish)

Post by TheShadowdove » Thu Sep 06, 2018 5:22 am

Hey Arelithians... Arelites.. Arelinians?

There's this goofy and friendly, yet confused player named Kbrio in Cordor. He's been putting in good hours the last few nights but is kind of making the best of it despite a language barrier.

I'm not even sure he realizes we are all in character role-playing. It has made for some amusing interactions so far, and I've tried to help him in tells, but there's a lot of misunderstanding involved.

All this aside, he seems to be enjoying his time in Arelith. There are plenty of people for him to chase in and out of town and he just tonight tried enchanting without understanding his full plate armor could break. Watching him chase people whilst mostly naked asking for help was humorous but also somewhat heartbreaking.

If anyone speaks Spanish, please give the guy a hand. And explain a bit about Arelith if you can.


You're all heroes.

It'd be cool if we had multiple language signs in the entry area alongside their English counterparts that explained the rules. I see French default descriptions on characters sometimes and I always wonder if those players keep playing or are turned away. Emphasis on the English-only rule too on those signs.

On my way! Is Kbrio the character's or the player's name?

Both, I think. At least, I've seen Kbrio the Character walking around.

I believe we have a player or two who don’t speak a lick of English, but instead put it through a translator wholesale to understand it. I have a tremendous amount of respect for that kind of determination.

Pretty sure they’ve been playing another character “Bender Fearless”? I think the login name is still kbrio though.

This community is so rad.

You all rock for helping this fellow with the language barrier and making suggestions to help future players.

I tried to contact him IG but I got no answer. If you see him "in trouble" you can tell him to send me a PM and I'll try to help.

My character's name: Fidock Cassey

Hi, I am the man of the problem haha, I speak little English and initially I had problems to rp, but I'm getting better, many helped me or approached me to try to help me, it's really good that they do it, there are games in which many people are separated by language barriers, but here I see that they are all very sociable and nice people, I'm trying to do my best, If I'm wrong about something accept corrections, for now I'm fine, if I need something else I'll contact for the discord (K-Brio), thanks to all!
