adam smash wrote:Capping the system = instance. Unless they spawn a new Jita for people who can't get into the first oneGǪ no.
in fact, if anything, the opposite is true:
Population cap = limit to how many can use a location. Instance = no population cap, just direct people to new instance.

Quote:If players are literally prevented from participating in a large scale event that just happens to be in a trade hub or system that should be reinforced anyway then the game is going to stop being a sandbox and start being a typical MMO. No it won't. It will be the exact same sandbox (since population caps don't dictate the sandbox:ness of the game), with the same limitations it has always had.

Xenuria wrote:The point I am trying to make is that if ANY system ANYWHERE in EVE prevents users from jumping in because of how many people are in there already or how much stuff is going on then the game is no longer single shard. Yes it is. Being a single shard is not dependent on having pop caps. It's still a single shard GÇö TQ GÇö and it's still a single continuous universe.
All that's happening is that you have to wait your turn to get into a specific system. This is nothing new. It doesn't affect the number of shards.
Quote:It becomes single shard under specific circumstances instead of being single shard under ever circumstance. No. It remains a single shard under all circumstances. They do not suddenly start a new server cluster to pick up the slack, nor do they start cloning instances out of nowhere.
If you're going to use these words, learn what they mean first. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Morganta wrote:eve is not a single shard Well, sure, technically it isn't, but your average EVE player will not go off to sisi or serenity, because they lack the account to play on the latter and because playing on the former serves no purpose.
So for all intents and purposes, EVE only has one shard: TQ. The shard employing cluster computing doesn't make it multi-sharded. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Xenuria wrote:Beekeeper Bob wrote:It's not a sandbox when you deny access to it.... Correct. Not really, no. It's still a sandbox, because it still gives you the tools to shape your own game world. Just because they limit how many can go into a system (a limit that has been there since roughly forever) doesn't mean those tools are gone.
Quote:Eve WAS a sandbox without walls (no caps as long as they reinforced the node.) EVE had walls since the very start and was a sandbox anyway, because the existence of walls is not a factor in it being a sandbox. EVE is still a sandbox now because nothing has changed.
GǪso we can safely add the word GÇ£sandboxGÇ¥ to the list of terms you are unfamiliar with, alongside GÇ£shardGÇ¥ and GÇ£instanceGÇ¥. Any other word you'd like to add while we're at it? GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥
