I am wondering, with the 40 alliances and 50,000 characters that are now poring into delve and the huge fights that should ensue. Is CCP prepared for the stress it will have on their systems? Will Time Dilation be up to the task?

talk the talk. will you.. walk the walk?

Does this mean you've finally reinforced the nodes after the cringe-inducing slow motion battles we had to endure this prior week?

CCP was not prepared for Burn Jita, what makes you think they will be able to handle this. CCP has really been dropping the ball/Shitting the bed.

One of the main reasons I started playing eve was because of the persistent universe. These days eve is turning into second life in space with parcels/solar systems that have waiting lines or are diverting traffic.

The community has grown to large for the CCP servers to handle.

This war simply will not happen or it will be a few thousand people in a warzone with the remainder sitting outside a gates in other systems waiting in line to jump in.

CCP has proven to me and everybody else that letting them know about a fight does NOT mean they will reinforce the node as much as it needs to be.

Burn Jita is a perfect example. If CCP had reinforced the node to the point where everybody who wanted to participate could jump into the system eventually without their being a hard cap on the total amount of players in system , this thread would have no reason to exist.

This question tells everyone involved, that CCP is definitely not prepared for Delve War 5.

No matter how CCP PR tries to SPIN the facts it cannot be ignored that a population cap was in place during the burn jita event.
You CAN say you disagree with my statement.
You CAN'T Say that their was no cap on the population of jita during the event. If you did make some crazy claim that EVE is a single shard without caveats then I could just turn around and post a video of the waiting line outside every gate into jita during the event.

Before you go and say something self-defeating like "Well the hardware has limitations" keep in mind how much money CCP makes and how much of that actually goes to server upgrades as a percentage.

You don't plan fights like this. The magnitude of a fight is dependent on so many factors it's impossible for anyone to predict far enough in advance for your notification system to be of any use.

Don't lie to us how many reboots did we have this week? LOL

You were not ready for your own patchs.

Maybe hot swapping nodes would have been a better waste of time than making lag a feature...

TIDI what a joke. Learn to hotswap the nodes.

CCP Explorer, saying that you are not sure what I am trying to say is a very sub par tactic to evade responsibility.
In the event that you are genuinely confused allow me to elaborate.

The Dev Blog you linked says many things

That is a direct quote from the devblog you linked me in this thread. You said you disagreed with me and yet your own words betray your cause for my own.

When you put a population cap on a system you are making it clear that you are NOT ready for more people than what the cap on the population allows. It should come as no surprise to you that the majority of people who wanted to participate in Burn Jita had to "wait in line" for other people in system to leave.

I know you're a good person, most people who work for CCP are; but don't **** on my head and tell me it's raining.

Explorer, can you put the entire Delve region on a single reinforced node? Or 2?

So you admit that a population cap was in fact in effect. You may not realize it yet but once again your own words have betrayed you and made my argument stronger. You just blatantly admitted that a population cap WAS IN PLACE on a node that was SUPPOSED to be reinforced with the "beefiest hardware".

I will however say that if the delve war fails because of population caps then you might have to make some changes to the term "sandbox".
