    Hey is it just me or is this message: "[User] has just been attacked and has been killed or be too weak to fight" not proper English. Sounds more like some automatic online translator result from German to English - lol
    Not that it's a big deal but having millions of users and all, I thought someone should mention it :D
    This wouldn't sound too bad, what do u think:
    "[User] has just been attacked or killed and is too weak to fight"

    It's Viking Clan, we're lucky the messages are coherent.
     
  3. Bad English .... hahaha
    Vikings are all mix Travellers and so they talk English only in films ...

    someone set us up the bomb

    That's not even the half of it. I cringe at the "Lets be clan members, add me" - Where is the apostrophe? "LET'S be clan members, add me."

    My new favourite is "XXXXX is a higher level and out of your XP range. Any form of attack against this player will open you up for retalliation attacks." Uh... it's retaliation.

    I suppose we could excuse it and say we're Norse, not English... :p

    yeah, most people can't read Viking runes, either..

    be interesting to see how many people playing the game actually know the Elder Futhark.
