Can you create servers in Russia?

I get a lot of verbal attacks in the after-game chat and Steam profile with a touch of racial hatred, I often read nasty and terrible things. Why? For the fact that I am Russian and often play for the killer, without breaking any rules, using what the game gives me. I do not insult anyone and do not spoil the game.

There are many European countries to the west of me and I often play as survivors and I often come across killers from there and they are also insulted, but no one ever focuses on their origin.

I very often hear from Europeans in a chat that they want the Russians to have their own servers, and they can finally play this quietly.

Well, developers, you can kill two birds with one stone, give Europeans freedom from "terrible Russians", and give Russians freedom from racial hatred and the best ping, which is very good.

I understand that I can close the chat and comments, but I do not want to do this, sometimes good, adequate people come across.

And I understand the nature of hatred - a mixture of history, politics, propaganda, actions, decisions and so on. That's just personally I have nothing to do with this.

    The only and really the only problem i have with some russian players is, that they think everyone speaks russian and talk only in russian. As if it is so difficult to speak english.

    Same opinion as FriendlyGuy if any player will speak in their native language its most likely someone from Russia. And its to this extend when i see monologue in russian(even tho i wrote "English pls") i just type xaxa because thats only thing i understand

    You don't sound better. Non-english version of the game doesn't have any kind of indication that people in the chat can't speake english, or nothing BUT english. So people speaking different languages is a "norm". People can be stubborn in any country and refuse to speak anything by their own language. For them it's you're that one strange guy that for some reason speaks foreign language in a game that's perfectly russian otherwise. What isnt normal (well, probably it is, but isn't good and violates rules) is for people to harass each other.

    As for the OP. You may not like it, but if you play a killer you WILL be harassed, always. You have to be used to that. Ignore in-game chat (just hide it), set your profile to read-only for everyone, who's not in your friendlist, or hide it, or block and report people that harass you in your profile to steam. It's also a violation of rules on Steam.

    If you are a (please insert any nationality except countries with english as main language) and you see three people speaking english in pre- or post game chat, what do you do:

    a) speak english too

    b) speak your own language

    Actually im pretty sure i heard when i was still in school that english is pretty hard to learn to speak. Telling someone to "just speak english" is like if they told you to just speak their language. You cant instantly learn a whole new language youve never learnt or spoke before.

    While a lot of foreign people ive met/spoke to etc do speak or know some english its usually just basic things they learnt in school. My school taught french and spanish but by no means can i speak a fluent understandable sentence.

    I wouldn't write in chat. Woo, boy, how many things would change if people just WOULDN'T WRITE in chat. But not a lot of people are mature enough just to not talk.

    You mean mature enough to not tell people you got a commodious and will put in a map offering?

    If you are unable to speak a language i understand it, but some people think you are able to speak theirs. I'm also no english native speaker.

    People that can't speak english still would tell you that in a language you don't understand. Might as well assume they're not talking to you.

    Oh damn I can relate to this so much.

    Everyone in the chat speaks English, we laugh, we ask questions etc... Just that one special snowflake starts chatting in Russian thinking it's a world language :D
