Been reading the posts and it brought it home to me how multicultural Europa is.
When I started I teamed up daily with 3 others, 1 also from the UK 1 from the USA and one from Australia.
Since then at various times i have played long periods with players from England, Russia, Italy, Belgium, Germany, USA, Canada, and Turkey. Most of them unfortunately have moved on although I still see Suhuy (Russia) online sometimes. These are players I would venture to say I was really friendly with and they all enhanced my game enjoyment.
And this is just my experience, how many others, from how many other countries must Europa embrace?.
