I'm in Japan and joined eve 5 weeks ago. I can confirm that the client already supports Japanese as well as having Japanese chat rooms in the game.
As some of you have mentioned, if Japanese people wanted to play eve they would have already joined up. |

I don't think EVE has enough scantily clad 12 year old girls to compete with locally developed games in the japanese MMO market. |

Maybe it's not really apparent from manga, anime and console games... but thoroughness, perseverance, patience and precision (perfectionism really) are a big part of Japanese culture. And of course skill in mathematics. All good traits to have in EVE, the ultimate bean counter sandbox MMO. We might see some pretty damn good EVE players coming in. |

Chat is obviously in English is it? Where is that written down in stone? |

It gets even better. So it's the first person to speak that determines the language? Right...
As for my density - marginally less than that of water. I seem to float

The numbers probably won't rise the slightest, unless Nexon is going to advertise heavily over there. It's going to be rather horrible if its true that the players that are already playing EVE normally are now forced to play through Nexon. CCP better not pull a stunt like that with the rest of us.
But a localization will likely make the game more accessible for the Japanese players that like to stick to their own people. Maybe CCP should open up a new area for them, east of the Russian drone regions
On a sidenote: anyone knows the situation with the CHINESE server? Serenity was it, right?

They missed the PC/internet boom of the late 90s because their monopolistic local computer maker Oki insisted that they stick with it's clunky old OS. So they were kind of isolated from the rest of the world using Windows/Mac/Linux. Eventually they gave up on the Oki system, around 2005 maybe, and started using the standard OSes. But I think PC/internet culture still isn't as well-established in Japan as it is in the rest of the developed world. They're comparatively a few years behind still.
By "rest of the world" I assume you're referring to "The United States of America"?

No. It's 100% true. I was there during Oct, too late for the TGS but there was a smaller event happening. Paradox were promoting a few games along with a few other developers. They where all strategy games, so games like Shogun Total War and Sengoku where all the rage along with a few small and local game developers. I went along there to see what Paradox where doing since I'm a big fan of their games. You know how the usual gaming crowd are fairly young from the ages of 14 - 25 with the odd middle aged guy looking a bit self conscious. Well it was nothing like that. It was LOT of older men with a few younger guys getting their butts kicked by them. It was rather amusing to see grampa's getting excited over these games. |
