I've recently joined a new clan and they have a theory that by changing your game language you will change servers and find villages with more resources to steal.
I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is true or not.

you can take a look at this
It changes the global chat you're in and displays everything in a different language, but that's about it.
There is only one Clash of Clans server.
It doesn't change the loot, but I'm not sure that this thread contains the proof that it is thought to contain.Quote:

What does not change, however, is the physical location you are connected to. All connections, that I have seen, regardless of the language selected connect to the same server farm.
So, if you wish to change your, for lack of a better term, battle queue, do anything that breaks then re-establishes your connection with SuperCell.
Woah woah woah, how would we disconnect from supercell, I've never heard of this before, I must know.Quote:

There is no way to fit every village on the same server so they spread them out and use algorithms to find a match based on trophy count and who has a shield or not.
Admit it, you made that part up. Are you sure you really know what an 'algorithm' is?Quote:

I mean, do they actually think that if they change their language to Japanese and then log off, then they are only going to be raided by other people who have their language set to Japanese?
It's simply not true.Quote:

If it makes you happy though, keep on changing servers. However any benefit you see is purely in your own mind.
Well... Actually that would make sense. When you log off the game remembers which language you had and puts you into the correct language when you log back on. Also, whichever language you were last on is the language the notifications are sent in.Quote:

Those settings, such as the language and whether the music is turned on or off, are stored on the client's device, not on a server. If you don't believe me, test it out if you have two devices such as a phone and a tablet. Change the language on one and log off. Then log in on your other device. You will see that the settings were only saved to the client device and not the server.Quote:

i've changed the in-game language to every single one available and it didnt changed the players in global chat. I am portuguese, i live in Portugal, so in my global chat there are only portuguese/brazilian people. If i change the in-game language to Norsk, the people in global continue to be portuguese/brazilian!
It's not related to in-game language but to your location! To change it you have to contact SC and they only do it one time!
I thought Norsk was overrun by English people, not Portuguese/BraziliansQuote:

I don't know about you, but when I change my language to Spanish, everyone on global is speaking in Spanish. When I change it back to English, everyone is speaking English again.Quote:

I went to korean and no one spoke.
I went to japanese and everyone is speaking in japanese.
I went to english and everyone is speaking in portuguese.
I went to norsk and everyone is speaking in portuguese.
It seems that english and norsk either are full of brazilians or they are full so SC sends me to a portuguese chatroom :S
The thing is i alreay tested this and it always had the same result! And now its different! Definitely there are some other variables than language :\
