As long as you're not botting or using ILLEGAL software you should be fine. Why would they ban some one paying 5x$15.95 for pwning face.

always suprises me on how your american GMs talk to the players, its very relaxed and they are always putting in smilies and other 1337 slang.

Ive never had a gm speak to me like this on any realm, and they always end with some alutomated responce depending on your class, like Goodbye Kura, may your seed continue to corrupt the planet. stuff like that if your a warlock.

I think maybe it has somthing to do with the fact that English is always a GMs second language if they are on an EU realm as the GMs are all in france, makes them so polite. did say maybe

Don't forget buying the game/cdkey

5 x $40 = $200 for the game

Heh, he and I both knew I wasn't doing anything illegal, he was just doing his job. I had been doing av's all morning and had several guys threaten to report me. I just thought it was funny that he asked about my death coil castsequence macro.

They're based in france but not all GMs are french, a friend from an old guild used to work for Blizzard (friend is french and he was a cleaner) he reckoned only about 30% of the staff are native french, rest are a mix of german, english and american, with some other nationalities thrown in for good measure. Thats people he met while there, not just GMs so it could be that GMs are just french but I doubt it. Besides if you look at jobs page for EU they want all staff to speak English as well as main language.

I can absolutely confirm that English isn't a second language to *all* GMs

I personally (not via my next door neighbour's friend's cat's aunt who once overheard somebody talking on the phone to a distant relative, but personally) know an English guy who worked as a GM in France.

The salary (<20k euros/year to start, as I recall) just doesn't make it worthwhile in my humble opinion, but they do indeed recruit across Europe.

My understanding is that they actually work mostly out-of-game with a dedicated support client, rather than actually "in" WoW, and it does indeed support canned responses of the type I'm sure we've all seen, but that's by the by....

That sounds dirty. O.o
