GG*which means it isn't instanced. Instancing happens when you duplicate a location to let more people be in it than the population cap (be it hardwired or dynamically load-balanced) would allow.

If only a single copy of a location exists, then it is not instanced. EVE does not support instancing GGv it doesn't exist in the code. There is only one of every system; one of every grid; one of every location, no matter what. The reason we have the current situation is because there is no instancing: no copies of Jita can be made to allow more people to be in that system.

The day they start duplicating systems and give us a drop-down to let us select which version of the system we want to be in we can start to talk about instances. Until then, the fact remains: instancing does not exist in EVE.

That's what WoW made instances mean, that's not what the WORD instance means... don't get the two confused. Even GW cities were instanced. Even if there was only one INSTANCE of each one, it was still an instance that multiple people not in a group could all join at the same time, too many people join and it would make a second instance. Eve doesn't allow that second instance and restricts each game area to one singular instance, its still broken up into segments per system ... aka an instance aka not seamless open world hence loading screens between warps etc. : | Not sure how hard that is to comprehend.

This is unacceptable, I am not able to log into the Jita system because it is unable to accept new connections. This is 100% unacceptable and is affecting my experience.

I wanted to log into Jita to get some trading done in these times of trouble but guess what? I can't. I expect a resolution immediately, CCP had more than enough time to sufficiently reinforce the Jita node and they did not. Also I do not care if it is merely a political statement, for the lulz or whatever.

Stated here plain and clear if the system is unable to accept new connections then I would say that is an unreasonable or disproportionately large load.

I bet the OP whines to the cops and city council when he gets stuck in traffic, too.

It's easy to comprehend, you are the one that seems to be having trouble in that regard.

Is this seriously the first time you have seen traffic control in the game?

Just because your entrance is delayed slightly does not mean you are locked out, it simply means you need to wait your turn.

You can still go anywhere you wish in EVE and only in rare circumstances will your journey experience any delay, whatever you do in any location can be seen and interacted with by every other player in the game, and there are no seperate identical mirrors for other groups of players (outside of China, but thats a legal issue not a game design issue).

Stop parroting what trolls are saying in other threads.

Oh noez, I have to wait in line to get in, instanced coffee conspiracy!!!!

another person who doesnt understand what "instanced" means.

another person who doesnt understand what "instanced" means. I never mentioned a lock out, but the fact that an area can even have crowd control means there is something unique about it, and each system is its own entity separate from the rest. Im not even arguing for or against whats happening, I was merely pointing out how somehow at some point, everyone got this notion in their head that "instance" means separate area for a few people that can be duplicated as many times for multiple parties each identical to the last. All an instance is is a zone segregated (which each system is) from the rest, each one can have its own rules, its own load ins, everything that happens in one instance doesn't carry over to the next (sans economy). You cant fire a missile from one system and 3000 years from now have it hit another system Just like in wow you cant swim from Azeroth to Whatever other continent they have in that game. Each area, although a whole, is segregated from the rest by not only loading screens but also completely independent areas of influence which can be manipulated by CCP to fit stressors placed upon it by the community. I mean heck, CCP even mentioned themselves that they bolstered the hardware Jita is sitting on in preparation for this event ... I give up, fine whatever, the word instance now = WoWs limited scope of the word. Call each system what you want, its still the same thing in spirit.

Deleted some trolling and personal attacks

While I understand what's currently going on, keep your discussions civil, thanks

Jita has a population cap in place to solve the very issue of server load. If you keep trying to log in you will eventually get there.

That's what WoW made instances mean, that's not what the WORD instance means... don't get the two confused.

I was smart and moved all my sell/buy orders from Jita earlier in the week to one of the other trade hubs. If you knew this was coming and did not make alternate plans you were flat out dumb or just looking for an excuse to cry like a little *****.

Jita isn't the only system in the game, if it was then you'd have a point, but it's not.

Go to perimeter and trade there. You will still have access to the Jita market. Logistics might be difficult tho.

Also if you havent heard Jita is a sh*t show right now. and for RP purposes it would be entirely understandable that the police would shut down access to area.

Would you whine to the police in your town that you can't get to a certain block when there is a riot there and they closed it off?

If Jita is where you and your ships are, it is the only system in the game to login at.

This is good. I can see other businesses trying this.
