| − | ==== Introduction ==== |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Because this server is marked as an English realm, that is what people assume it is. However, the overwhelming number of Russian-speaking players have caused players who speak other languages to become concerned. More and more messages in General chat channels started to be written in cyrillic and more international players started to become annoyed at the fact that this is tolerated by GMs. As things progressed, international players started to migrate, while Russian population was steadily growing. |

||
| − | Right now Stonemaul isn't the best of places for an international player. Most players do not speak English and some of them are strictly against playing in a group with international players. Since communication is a vital part in a game such as World of Warcraft, the gameplay for the remaining international Stonemaul players is pretty much spoiled. Only a few of them have found stength in themselves to adapt, some even started to learn Russian. |
||

| − | The main cause of this situation is neglect of a Russian-speaking community in Europe. As a result the sheer majority of Russian players are completely detached from WoW community as a whole. Players who speak Russian have their own forums, their own resources and rarely use/check the official WoW forums. Moreover, the issue "This is an English realm" started to become laughable to some. Indeed, when there are around a hundred Russian-speaking players in the capital city and two international players, who are asking the majority to speak English... The situation looks as rediculous as asking German players to speak English on a German realm. |

| − | As this situation started developing many Russian players decided it is time to turn the issue to Blizzard's attention. A few petitions have been created with suggestions of how this problem can be solved. Many players believe that Stonemaul and Warsong (another "Russian" realm) should be labelled Russian to avoid confusion and stop English-speaking players from joining it. There have been no response from Blizzard yet. |

 Stonemaul EU (PvP)

|---|---|---|---|---|
Stonemaul was a migration server. Most people migrated here from Warsong (a big chunk of Russian community) and Skullcrusher, and the minority from Stormreaver, Dunemaul and Stormscale. In time the Russian community forced most of non-Russian speaking people off the server, making it the second highest concentration of Russian-speaking players amongst the European realms. The concerned players have made attempts to petition Blizzard and ask them to label the server "Russian" to avoid confusion, but the company remained deaf to their pleas until 2008, when the idea was implemented in the form of a whole Russian server group. Stonemaul, along with three other realms that were predominantly populated by Russian players (Molten Core, Shadowmoon and Warsong), was closed down shortly after Wrath of the Lich King was officially launched in Europe. Free migrations to the realms of the newly opened Russian server group were offered to the population of the server; those who chose to stay, however, were offered free transfers to chosen European realms. The servers were shut down and are most likely used for the new realms that opened with the launch of the second expansion.[1][2] It's also worth noticing that it was an unprecedented event - since the launch of the original game not a single realm has ever been closed down before.
