I bumped into a noob flying around in Space, I convoed him, as new players are rare these days. It soon transpired that he was from China, after a few google translate led exchanges it transpired that he said EVE China was closed. I went on eve offline and found this:

http://news.mmosite.com/content/q/2012-01-17/chinese_eve_online_to_shut_down_servers.shtml
So I think something with the hosts of the servers going bankrupt... I think they are going to find a new hosting partner or something thou. |

Certainly looks like it, it was probably costing them too much to run with so few subscribers. The Chinese clearly dont like making their own content in a game it has to be fed to them or they loose interest.
Either that or the Chiense governamnt didnt like their citizens mixing with Americans and Europeans through a game so they forced CCP to close it down (this does actually sound plausible)

as far as I know the publisher that worked with CCP in China went bankrupt, and cEVE is offline until the new publisher gets it back up and running, which is supposedly in a couple months.
Until then there's been a small influx of serenity players on TQ checking things out, and the general response I've seen is pretty positive, though many don't think they will stay due to UI language barrier

googling said the original company in agreement with CCP that runs CEvE filed a bankruptcy few months back. Apparently checking eve-online.com.cn and it seems they have found a new partner based in shanghai to run EVE, and even better, CEvE used to be only updated to Tyrannis, now they have fully updated to Crucible.
though I still met players from China telling me CEvE is closing server in June, which I doubt it is still true but who knows.
One thing for sure is that CEvE ain't getting the Dust treatment. |

Well, they are also in the midst of a nice crackdown/'Party" crusade, so that might also have something to do with it. Not sure why they still try to control how much information their general population can get from the interwebs...there are just too many sources to filter. |

Well that's not entirely true, you see, you have the world.... and then you have china.
If india were to join EVE, they would need a separate server for that too.
Reason 1:
China and india both have about as much inhabitants as the rest of the world combined
Reason 2:
In china, bots are of organic nature ( if you know what i mean )

or its the fact that China doesn't allow a whole bunch of things on its internet. Mostly thing that we try to do and say.
It has nothing to do with size of india's or china's population, I am sure there are indian players in eve allready.

You have not been to China I take it. The term "communist" should be used loosely if you are trying to apply it to the economic system. In many ways China's economy is now capitalism on steroids.
Hopefully they will not convulse through a harsh dogmatic crackdown on growing income and class inequality. |

Remember Chinese doesn't have declensions so the word for "War" and "Wars" are the same. Also the word for Battle and War are often interchangeable.
So it possible that the word for "Space Battle Themed" wound up being translated as "Star Wars (TM) Themed"
Anyone have a link to the original article?

In EVE yes, but that's possibly only because china isn't on our server.
Have you ever seen the news article about what prison guards in China demand their inmates to do?
No?
Well here goes, they make the inmates farm gold in various games, so that the guards can sell it to make something extra on the side.
If they don't farm enough, they get a serious beating and if they farm a lot, the guards make sure you stay an inmate just that little bit longer.
True story this, didn't just make this up.

Or you could have a brain and realize that "one server non-instanced" with A FIXED SIZE is an extremely risky move.
At around a 3,000 daily average it was DESERTED.
Not just "pretty empty" like most of Eve-Europe/Eve-America... but EMPTY. Less than 1/10 as many players.
Go to a non-Jita system and look at local. If there are less than 9 players in Local then if this were Eve-China you would be the only person in the system.
Or constellation.
Whatever. |
