Consider this: http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/08/23/china-traffic-jam.html
Traffic jam in China is now 9 days old (as of Aug 23rd) and over 100km long.
And you want to merge with the Chinese server?
Consider this, then: If China proper suddenly gained access to the global EVE community, do you think this would result in half a million new accounts overnight as Chinese ISK farmers decide to capitalize on a suddenly much much larger market? Personally, I think so.
However, I still think it'd be cool. We've got French alliances, Russian alliances, Germans, and of course White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, all that's missing IMHO are the Chinese.
Personally I think it would be cool to dump a few dozen thousand new players into the gene pool and watch pure chaos fly. IMHO if any server merge is on the horizon the best way to "initiate" it would be to allow Chinese players to have their toons permanently transfered to the TQ server (or create new toons). You have to admit, it'd be pretty sweet to have a multi-thousand-pilot powerhouse alliance literally materialize out of nowhere and decide to pawn the **** out of someone and take their space. ___________________________________________ The Hero of Kamela The Terror of Tararan The Executioner of Ezzara |

Stop falling for stupid trolls by stupid posters (even when they are gm's and they dont know they are trolling)
The chinses government will not allow the chinese people the complete freedom of expression that players in tranquility are used to. Dropping 15000 chinese folk into eve online single server will enable political elements contained in china an opportunity to discuss real life serious issues with outside elements with 0% control from the communist party.
It would however be very entertaining to "role play" a chinese dissident looking to communicate with western sympathisers and then publicly mock them for their stupidity.

I don't see how a big *understatement* traffic jam has to do with a server merge? However, I'm still unsure about a merge with the Chinese server. Botting and RMT is rampant there, and not from a "omfgthey'rechinese" racist perspective, it's just true. It would be a huge culture shock for them.
Oh, and CCP said they can't merge it, and it was all stupid rumors.

I would really like the merge with the Chinese server to take place.
This is because it would mean the the traitors to the memory of Chairman Mao, who are so inept that they cannot even manage to do some road works without causing a huge tailback, would have been removed from power. And hopefully executed.

ITT : no facts, just inaccurate rumours. There is no plan in place to merge the servers even if the Chinese would allow it (because it's not practical), but they won't allow it, so it's doubly irrelevant.
Also, some people do play on TQ from China, it's not like it's impossible.

EVE Serenity (China) stats: Current (1,681), Max today (7,462), Record (9,374) EVE Tranquility stats: Current (31,540), Max today (44,594), Record (60,453) Total number of active accounts: 311,000 something, last number I heard was that they surpassed the population of Iceland. This likely includes the numbers from the Chinese server.
Originally by: Zverofaust do you think this would result in half a million new accounts overnight
No. I think it would barely add 50,000 new accounts overnight, that is, counting existing Chinese accounts as new on TQ.

I notice more and more Chinese playing on TQ every single day. I thought they were not allowed by laws in China to play on servers not under their governments close supervision?
The sad part is that most of the Chinese I have seen on TQ seem to be farming the HS DED Deadspace plexes much to the annoyance of the locals....

The smart ones can get around it, kind of like how you need a Chinese IP to play on Serenity but people from Europe (notably, Chribba) and other places can play on it.

Someone mistook a dev (actually I think Hilmar in his CGDC speech) saying how they want to make TQ and Serenity one server to actually mean they are actually doing it. CCP later clarified they would love to, but can't, because of the same reason 2 servers exist in the first place. (Chinese government restrictions)

No it isn't. However, you might want to consider a few things, first of all; I now have one of those annoying sigs. second; you should probably move on to some more interesting things than reading this sig.

don't like the idea of excluding anyone on the basis that a certain race of people "are all isk farmers".
I'd welcome a merger, however I'd worry about the impact adding such a significant amount of extra activity to an already clearly overburdened server would have on gameplay.
In addition, China's already strict policy on what can and can't be accessed on the internet would probably require CCP to have to write some sort of gimped client which conforms to Chinese government censorships which is the reason I suspect the Chinese have their own server in the first place.
Interesting post.
