French canadian server? (NA FRENCH)

Hi ho everyone. You can see i can write in an "OK" english, but it was not always the casse. I was FORCE to learn english and install the games in english because my two only option are 1)Lag free USA english server 2)EU far and laggy Server. Game maker forget that Canada have 2 mains languages.
On many games it was very hard for us to regroup on a guild because we had no dedicated server and lot of us had to play on EU FR server to avoid racism. Racism is a thing on all games. So many time i got team kill on Rainbow Six Siege because i miss pronouce an english word. On black desert the small French guild had to disband because larger guild wanted to kick us out of the server and camped us on every channel. On WoW long time ago, my english was terrible...try to call a GM to help you on a NA server when you don't speak english. I reported a racist guild and the GM told me to make a new character on europe and stop complaining.
The problem with us to play on EU is the time zone. France guild on EU wont recruit us if we have six hours difrences. Imagine the organisation to do a Raid or a Siege. We are more than you think, You dont notice it because most of us did like me and learn english by force. Think about it, how many player or guild with the QC, Québec, the lily flower flag you saw in your previus games?
French canadian guild don't last long on MMO because we don't have dedicated servers. Imagigie that situation:
a server have max capacity of 150k players
there 120 servers
75k french canadian players play the game spread into the 120servers
you end with less than 1k french players on a server
Half of them can speak english and will join english guild
Ex you try to make a PVP guild but how many of the <500 remaining players do pvp? How many want to RP...ect
Finaly you end in a guild who try to do stuff but only half of them participate because we all play differently
Having a French Canadian (Québec) Server would encourage other french canadian to join the game and feel like finaly a game care for them. I think the racist players would be happy to get rid of us

What about them?
Then they can form their own guilds with the other english speaking players?
The problem is ther no way to tell if the canadian speak french or not. If they had one chanel with (QC) and there not enough players they just have to remove the (QC) in the chanel name like nothing happen.
If not a server or a chanel, at least a NA-FR thec-support or a GM abble to use French. Just something to make our journey fun like everyone else.
I don't know what to tell you mate if you don't prove you have the numbers you will not get one. Hell my first language is Welsh and you do me wanting a server
It's hard to believe people are crapping so hard on someone wanting an official NA language on a NA server. Obviously if the player base doesn't support the idea by using the server then it isn't necessarily something that should continue to have resources put into it. The notion that it's a ludicrous idea seems crazy to me.
Also who know if the restaurant will serve potatoes one day because too many customers ask for it. Maybe they won't care(hope not). Maybe they will care but won't be able to do it(probably). Or maybe almost no one will ask for it.
I will continu to eat there with my friend even if there no potaoes because everything else in my plate is so freaking delisious.

Of course there will be problems no matter what direction they go with, regional, time zone or language they all have their pro's and cons. It is nice when everyone speaks the same language though.
I disagree, you sound like an american with that statement.
If there are sufficient french players, they will create a separate server for you.
Also English is Lingua Franca, the most widely spoken language (not most spoken, I think?). It's good to learn it. Idk about the part about being "forced" to learn it as if it's an awful thing to do. Nothing wrong with learning another language, especially the universal one.
Also, miss me with that "racist player" non-sense. I know it's a joke but cmon bruh it's such low hanging fruit.
I'm Canadian actually and the population of California is larger than the population of all of Canada
about 20% of the population speaks french.
Most recent stats for Canada is 22.8 % speak French, 75 % speak English. and out those 17% are bilingual.
Further more 2019 stats for California is 39.51 million, with Canada at 37.59 , so not that far behind.
and your telling me Canada can't muster 50 thousand gamers to play this game? As the original poster stated there is roughly 75 k in Quebec alone that could be interested in playing . We can't confirm that number but if you look at the population of Quebec its plausible. ( 8 .4 million) , it would stand to reason there will at least be that number who could play the game. My personal guess would be conservative 45 k .
As for the rest of Canada, there was a stat that appeared in 2018 ish that came up with about 250 k players that were active in Canada MMo players that are spread across various MMO's. I am pretty sure that this game can steal them away from those other games and make the 50 k server load. Provided word gets out and the right advertising is done.
So with that said a server for the French is plausible.
Actually I hope everyone is able to get a localish server east central and west.
From what I understand they want to place servers regional, so the price is 15$ for that country, with the thoughts that what language that country speaks has its gamers stay on that server. Reference was made in a recent interview and the example of Brazilians playing on US servers would mean they would be paying roughly 70$ in their funds to match US dollar amount . They hope it would be to costly for them to do so. However, since the Canadian dollar exchange is 35% extra charge for 1 US dollar. Would that mean Canada would have its own server ? If so would that mean a high influx of Americans joining our servers to get a 35% discount would happen? If Canadians get screwed and we pay 20$ per month because we have to pay in US funds. That adds up for couples or families.
Or better yet everyone joins the Brazilian servers to get a way bigger discount.... Oh man let them see how that feels like ...
U.S. is a country where the official language should be English but just isn't. Life isn't easy for you if you don't speak English though.
