non-English Keyboards

I posted this a few months ago in another board but despite the many /sign's in it no one on the dev's side cared about it. Giving it another try here: Non-English players are nerfed in this game as some vital functionality is unavailable to them. Reason for this are non-English keyboard layouts that feature an ALT GR key (the right ALT key). ALT GR is used in several European languages to type special chars like @\|{}[]~µ²³

Now these are examples for things that dont work on my keyboard:

• I cannot format text with colours as I can't type the "{}" brackets in-game (an expendable feature)
• I cannot add/delete radio favourites as I can't type a "|" char. I have to consume my hotbars with radio macros instead or type scribbled down URLs
• I cannot even type an Email address as I can't type a "@" char on my keyboard (a NOT expendable feature >< )
  

This list does not claim to be complete
If this is part of the "Let's get rid of the EU players" campaign please notify me here so I wont complain about it again.

"Let's get rid of the EU players"

How about we get rid of you Mkaythnx stop whining

Can you type it into notepad and do a copy and ctrl+insert? 

Not sure why having a different keyboard layout should make any difference but hey, who am I to argue with the game. :p

One work around for the radio favourites so you can free up some of your macros is to go into the directory and find a file called mpfavorites.txt

Then you can add your radio links to it as you would normally add them in game, an example (which shows just how old my favourites list is :p)

Make sure you have a new line started after the last favourite you add, otherwise if you do ever get to add any in game then it won't mess up by creating adding it to the end of the last one.

Other things, at the moment, I don't have any suggestions for.
