I am thinking that this is not only testing CCP hardware but has awakened CCP management. We need to allow for more high sec battles.
Maybe we should allow war decs to be passed on to others by fleet invite. |

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.

Lame excuses everywhere. Population was peaked at around 2300 last night. This is just ccps way of protecting jita. I have more space likes than you.-á |

No one is being prevented from entering the area, however there may be a slight delay. Today is no different than any other day in Jita as far as that is concerned.
Understand there is one hell of a lot more server traffic going on under the hood in a system like Jita than there is in your typical Null sec combat zone. When you throw not only large scale combat traffic on top of the normal traffic (data wise), and then throw in all of the Concord generated traffic, you end up with a somewhat lower population cap than Jita normally has.
It's really not that hard to understand. When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point.
Also, I can kill you with my brain. |

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.
It becomes single shard under specific circumstances instead of being single shard under ever circumstance.
This is a caveat.

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.

Last night I was in Jita the population was at ~2k and at 95% time dilation. Sitting in station was more or less fine and dandy but undocking and doing anything was miserably slow and choppy. From a layman's perspective it appeared the performance degradation was anything but smooth. |

Jita is on a single node, and you still can't make it run right? 
Although giving the average player the chance to see your fine coding ability in action, might almost be worth it...

To give you a real life comparison on how dumb this statement actually is consider this,
If Jita was a football stadium (american football, or what the rest of the world considers to be football and americans call soccer, it doesn't matter) and was filled to capacity would you still expect to get in to see the game? The answer is no, it's a single location (shard) that just happens to be jam packed to capacity. If you got to the gates and it was full and the stewards sent you to another stadium to watch the same game with the same teams at the same time then that would be an instanced location.
Its probably a completely batshit comparison but it works for me. War hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. |

It really is not surprise that you didn't make CSM. You're a worse representative of high sec than the one who did get in. WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place... |

I bet if CCP hauled one of their underpaid interns away from running coffee and parked them in Jita deleting spambots, the system would smooth out rather nicely. Prolly be able to cram another 500 or so ships in there and ease off the TiDi as well.

I think everybody is missing the point....
EVE is now a sandbox with walls and lines of people waiting to get past those walls so they can play in the sand in a given location of the world.
I do not approve of this.
If the entire population of eve can not fit in a single system then its not a sandbox. Its a bunch of sand separated by thousands of walls. It essentially becomes....

you know, you can only reenforce a system so far before there is no further gains. There is other limits besides hardware.

Sandbox is just a marketing term, along with Cloud, fabric, elastic, collaboration, pervasive, persistent, business intelligence... etc etc.
You have always had to play within CCP's rules, which vary day to day. |

So if everybody online can't fit into one single system it's not a sandbox? Oh good grief Cindy, well thanks for your definition of a sandbox, we're incredibly enlightened.

To those that are new to this thread this conversation is going weird. Please take away from this thread - Jita is swarmed and hardware is not big enough for 40k trying to get to Jita.

there is only 1 game I'm aware of where the entire game world is in a single seamless map/world "shard" (even though it's still a cluster) and that's WWII online

SandBox not SandPile. What's the difference? Well a box has vertical sides made of a hard substance (much like a wall, really) while a pile doesn't.
The practical results from playing in these two types of sand formations is that in a Sandbox, all the sand stays near where you want to play, while in a sandpile, you can initially play anywhere but the sand will pretty quickly be too spread out to play with. Single-Shard, Player DrivenSandbox.
5 words. That's what makes it special. |
