What's your Minecraft Username?: sharkchompr
What's the title of your suggestion?: More Language Slots

What's your suggestion?:
My suggestion is one of a tangent--Add more language slots.

Now, I don't mean make it unlimited. I understand why it caps at 3, but I personally believe it should be capped at 4 or 5 languages. I think a middle ground for this would be allowing 3-4 languages and then having a 5th language app. Another middle ground could be harsher on the 4-5 language apps.

I bring this suggestion up with one main factor in mind--Character creation. Asking around, and myself included, I have only been able to make characters around the three languages I have, instead of creating new characters with new languages. I am stuck with the same 4 nationalities. For me, I am getting tired of character creation where it can only be from languages a, b, c, or Japanese. I hate having to be locked on the same nationalities, and I'm sure other people feel like it.

i asked multiple people on SRP this question, and here are some of the answers I received:
"Oh yeah that too like I wanted to make chars that like know other languages do to their nature but I'm forced to only stay with the 3 I already have like my char -- is supposed to know Thai but I'm forced to use Greek n Mandarin cause those are the languages ik and I would replace them but I have a char that uses Greek n Spanish regularly and same for mandarin so I'm forced to use -- with mandarin n Greek"
"I WANT TO RP MULTILINGUAL CHARS
SO I WANT MORE CHARS WITH DIFF LANGS"
"theres some ppl who have more than 3 charsmaybe for diversity"
"i have multiple character slots of diffrent ethnicity"
It would only be fair, I want my characters to be diverse wich means speaking different languages in some cases. My favorite character --is supposed to speak JSl Italian and Russian, but because of my other characters he cant speak russian, I feel like language slots should be personalized to each character slot. Diversity and lore would be really helped if this was implemented. A way to make it more dificult to get it would to be putting a word count for each extra language. each language app is another 100 words or somthing along those lines. Please srp gods, dont take my voice!!!
i have 5 characters on one account and will have more
different characters use different languages based off of their lore so having more language slots would allow for the creation of more new and diverse characters

How will this benefit the server and community?:
It will allow for more character creation, as well as not be limited to just 3 languages. It will benefit the community by allowing us not to be bound to just three languages. I think it would be a nice touch to have more than 3, as it allows for more authenticity between characters. It also allows people not to be bound to just 3 languages. A lot of people want this, as 3 languages tend to get repetitive.

Overall, I believe this is easily possible and doesn't hurt anyone to have another language added to an account! I also believe it would be a feature to make the community happier.

+1 yeah it's upsetting only being able to use a few, especially if you were to have, for example, a mute character that understands russian? you'd only be able to have one other language if you were to have JSL.

3 used to be plenty enough, one of the 3 being applied for. But with the abilities to have so many chars at least one or two more slots would make it easier so a lot of people. I constantly am debating if I can remove any languages on my accounts so other chars have the ability to speak the language that fits for them.

+1 i joined soon to be 3 years ago, and since then i have filled out my languade slots, i was only able to playand one character at a time before and i only got the languades for reasons related to lore, ever since i have been wanting to add JSL for another character and posibly my main. one too, but knowing i cant without removing another languade has really been the only reason why i havent applied for it, if this got to be added me and so many other players could end up with so many more character interactions and opportunities if we got to learn more languades for diferent characters or the same once

neutral..

i feel like language applications have slowly become more and more lenient over the years. in my opinion, having a polyglot character would be awesome, and i understand the struggle with having more characters than you can languages.

thus, if this is implemented/changed, please do make having (more) languages increasingly difficult to obtain (similar to what you've suggested), with actual lore being written rather than "my character was interested in russian so he downloaded duolingo which was a struggle but now he's fluent". or, simply introduce different languages for different character slots (this might already be in progress/suggested, but i'm not sure)

Most of my reasoning has to do with what Frettrick said. I feel like there'd be a lot more polyglot characters, and people do underestimate how hard it is to devote your life to learn so many (but I do realize that it is also the case that some people say their characters don't know the other languages they have on their account.. and that it's merely just specific characters who understand). However, for the +1 side of things, I feel like a better alternative is something where each character slot can have its language slots. I know that there were plans to make it so phone numbers could be exclusive to character slots, amongst other things, so I feel it'd be easier if that were the case.
