Blacktide should be tagged PL
They can not make one more server. Servers can only be in multiples of 3.
I’m confused about why ArenaNet should do anything about it. If it was because new people might find themselves on a server that doesn’t suit them, they can easily transfer at no cost. /shrug
The tags are not for the countries/nations, they are for languages. This game has five supported languages. Four for us and one for the Chinese. It is extremely unlikely that any more languages will be added. The sheer amount of work and expenses are just too high.
Well, I’m in Ring of Fire server, there were few italians who said that “RoF should be Italian server”…
Unfortunately, no.
Well, it’s been already explained anyway.

Can someone explain me why still it isn’t? We all know that this is server with the highest Polish population.
We do? That’s news to me.

Because the amount of BT players including myself who are english speakers outnumbers by far the polish speakers. BT should remain an english speaking server, you could ask for a [PL] server if you wish.
There are no “English Only” or “English Speaking” servers. I’m fairly sure that as long as people are being respectful of each other, ArenaNet don’t mind what language speak in chat.

Don’t be malicious. It’s still isn’t tagged, so you couldn’t know. That’s why we ALL need OFFICIAL tag, so people won’t be confused.
I wasn’t being “malicious”, I was being sarcastic. A claim that “everyone knows” when people clearly don’t really doesn’t help your case. In any event, you can set the language filter to display only Polish if you want, so you don’t need to deal with the english speaking peoples. And as it was pointed out, there are no specific langauge server, and I believe the default language english for all servers anway.

And now with the megaservers it only really matters for WvW. Everywhere else you are put together with people from various servers.
So they can give you the server but unless you WvW, you likely won’t notice.

They actually DO mind because they have to moderate violations of the Code of Conduct that happens in chat (mostly verbal abuse). For the 4 supported languages (ENG/GER/SP/FR) they have a support and moderation team.
Just because Blacktide has the highest polish population of all servers, doesnt mean that the overall amout of polish people playing the game across all servers warrants the costs of hiring polish staff and localise the whole game.

Do you have any data to back this up, by the way? I happen to know that even in the beginning the Polish community did not really agree on a single server, that the majority of the community did not even know that some forums tried to make Blackdate a designated PL server at all, and that lot of Polish guilds (and individual players) migrated from there to other servers within last year.
So no, what you consider to be obvious is not obvious at all. And that is even without going into the fact, that on this “Polish” server, Polish players are a small minority.

I used to be on Blacktide but took opportunity to move during the transfer window simply because of the sheer numbers of Polish players on the server. Not because I have anything against the Polish but because the WvW commanders that only communicate in Polish or have a poor grasp of English are not going to be able to organise people outside of their own countrymen.
WvW commands boiled down to
“On me!”
“Back!”
“Charge!”
“Regroup!”
“to <Insert structure name>!”
It became quite the in-joke that BT was a Polish server. Especially towards the end of my time there. Polish speakers far out numbered non polish speakers. Following the transfer window, when my guild became split between BT and Gandara, I heard that quite a few English speaking guilds transferred in and one of my guildies moved to one such guild but it subsequently disbanded.
Worse thing was, old LA became really toxic. Anytime players started to talk in Polish, they’d received torrents of abuse from non-polish players, usually along the lines of “This is an international server, speak English!” which is filled with all sorts of irony.
The other problem was that the player base skill level was really quite low. I don’t even know if they’ve since been able to do Tequatl or Triple Wurm. I remember that two guilds tried to organise but people just ignored the commanders and zerged straight into failure. After that attempt, Teq and THW were wastelands during those events.
On BT, dungeons with PUGS weren’t runs, they were slogs. I more or less only did dungeons with guildies because PUGs were just that bad. Same with Fractals, prior to the reduction in FOTM levels our guild leader regularly guested over to other servers to join skilled groups so that he could come back to BT and show us regular fractal runners how it was done. We managed to get to about 53 or 55 (out of the 80) before the update came along.
If I hadn’t been able to move servers, I probably would have quit the game.

Actually, when talking about a ‘collective’ do not and does not are effectively interchangeable.
