More prefixes.

    Part of the server are applying from Europe, and Asia. And more and more are coming, and it would be really useful for one of the prefixes to come on the prefix page.

    Honestly I feel like the prefixes purpose is great but they are quite exclusive.

    So, instead of going by regions like that, prefixes could be handled by continent perhaps.
    So UK would be replaced with Europe and it can cover more areas of the world.

    Just a thought~

    I haven’t seen very many players from there, but have seen more from other places which don’t have a prefix :p

    it just seems,,, oddly specific? like, we have prefixes for the countries/areas most people who play the server live in. don't feel the need for this tbh

    No support, not necessary as not many players here are from Mexico.

    I don't really think it's needed and it is weirdly specific, I haven't come across too many players applying from Mexico

    Neutral. I haven't seen very many players from Mexico. I wouldn't be opposed to adding a tag for Mexico, but it seems unnecessary.

    Just looking at the 'Other' accepted applications, we have
    1x Sweden
    1x France
    1x Malaysia
    1x Korea
    1x Slovakia
    1x Estonia
    2x New Zealand
    1x Thailand
    1x Guam
    1x Switzerland
    1x Finland

    If anything we should have a EUR (50% of other apps) or ASIA prefix (30%), but having a prefix for every other country isn't very viable, especially one as obscure as Mexico.

    Why not just add the continents? That way nobody feels excluded, we are supposed to put our country and time zone in an application anyways.

    I honestly would be satisfied with: NA, SA, EU, AF, AS, OCE

    In my opinion, they're fine how they are. If anything, if someone is really concerned they can just not put a prefix and type [" .. "] and leave it at that.

    Like someone said above, the applicant should state their timezone in their application anyway :)

    Neutral, the prefix isn't the end of the world. People from the same timezone are active at different points anyway, so a specific label is only a guidance for the area they are. The most important things are the timezone they list in the actual application and the times available.
