| Ive had my own partys, still under the newbie stage of making partys, but ive still managed to incorporate lots of players both english and japanese.
Most of the time when Im ordering the party, since they cannot read my fast and slang typing when im giving out commands, I usually use the default macros such as point or poke.
Because I know these lines come out in both english and japanese.. so they know what to do..
as for calling for healing by WHMs, this is easily done as most people have the common sense to heal someone when they are low on health. And most japanese have played long enough to learn that.
As for direct speaking, the majority of the ones who I have met speak english very well, even though on their profiles they comment that they dont speak it.. lol
Though speaking to them directly if worse comes to worse, I give simple commands and usually try and perform tasks which are an example..
eg; "do you have cure?" obviously I would cure someone, and they would see the magic name and get it immediatly.
Also trying to communicate with the japanese in their language..
can the computer print out japanese characters to display on your screen as well?
also if not, is the most common way to type the english verion in?
aka arigatou.. etc etc etc  For the cause
