Nizran L'Crit Caldari Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:23:00 - [31] "While CCP will continue to develop and manage the game, EVE Online will be added to the ever-expanding portfolio of titles available through NexonÆs portal site, utilizing NexonÆs billing system and supported by the companyÆs expertise in the areas of regional marketing and promotion." WTF?! Nexon games are F2P and you pay RL money for better weapons and gear....pretty much everyone does this so to have a fighting chance you have to buy gear too....Combat Arms, Vindictus...omg lol, so CCP has backed down from our market and is introducing what they planned to do to us in Japan. Pure tinfoilery, but I can almost bet you that they are going to implement P2W in Japan, see how well it takes and how much money they make and then, if they make enough, probably implement it here and current players be-damned. I don't have a huge issue with P2W because we already have PLEX, but my concerns is just going to be that the amount of money one would have to throw at CCP is going to be greater because the standard of what you need to pay to keep a fighting chance is going to be more in ISK. I dunno we;'ll see. I wanna be L337!!!
Elder Man Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:25:00 - [32] This about sums it up. Unlike EVE's Chinese release, the Japanese client will connect to the main Tranquility game server. Nexon will add the game to its portal website and use its own billing system for Japanese subscribers. As we've seen with EVE's sizeable Russian playerbase, it's likely that entire alliances and communities will build up within the game once it hits the shelves in Japan. While the language barrier between players from different parts of the world can limit social interaction, it turns out that everyone understands the language of smashing internet spaceships to bits with lasers. The PC release of EVE Online in Japan will appear later this year, and will be followed by a localised release of DUST 514 in 2012. Elder Man
Hungry Eyes Ministry of War	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:25:00 - [33] this is gonna make CCP stinking rich. ive been to Japan, and im telling you the Japanese are huge gamers and roleplayers, and they will buy every vanity item there is.

"CCP will continue to develop and manage the game" Japanese players will only be able to buy the game via NEXON and pay their subscriptions through NEXON's billing system. NEXON will also cover Japanese marketing and promotion. EVE Online is NOT becomming F2P. EVE Online's gamplay is NOT changing due to this business relation. In fact, Japanese players will be able to bypass NEXON entirely and do business directly with CCP. The only thing is that CCP's websites will be English - not Japanese. ---------- Originally by: Dr Fighter "how do you know when youve had a repro accident" Theres modules missing and morphite in your mineral pile.
Hungry Eyes Ministry of War	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:30:00 - [35] CCP is going where the grass is greener. Incarna and vanity items will have a huge audience in Japan.
Gwenywell Shumuku	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:35:00 - [36] @CCP didn't we just get though a whole "better communication" debacle, and yet i see no statement from you explaining clearly WHAT this will bring to EVE, as Nexon has a reputation... You will never learn, will you?
Vincent Athena	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:38:00 - [37] Edited by: Vincent Athena on 07/07/2011 16:38:22 You can be sure there will be one Eve item sold for cash by Nexon: Game Time Cards. This could lower the in-game PLEX cost.

Hyperforce99 Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:45:00 - [39] So, are we going to see more regions because of this? --------------------------------------------- Somewhere beyond happyness and sadness, I need to calculate what creates my own madness o/
Steve Thomas Minmatar Sebiestor Tribe	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:46:00 - [40] meh I found the coment about Selling T2 and T3 BPOs and mats in thoes articals with Aurum funny.(they got the mats mixed up for onething) I know its speculation on there part, but its basicaly what they expect the company to do with EVE online because thats how it works with them. They also seem to be confused as to what implants do. Get someone from CCP to go into more detail on that, from what Im seeing its cluless speculation from the media right now .End of line. If your too paranoid to play EvE. . . ...then your not paranoid enough to play EvE ----------------

jyppy Caldari Under Heavy Fire	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:48:00 - [41] Originally by: CCP Manifest This quote from Brendan (Nyphur) is too good not to put here... "While the language barrier between players from different parts of the world can limit social interaction, it turns out that everyone understands the language of smashing internet spaceships to bits with lasers." I KNEW CCP favoured Amarr. Just you wait...and wait...and wait...'til my missiles hit you.
Ingvar Angst Amarr Nasty Pope Holding Corp Talocan United	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:49:00 - [42] I'm not sure this is such a good idea. They'll be at such a disadvantage over everyone else on Tranquility, and you know people will be striving to see what tears look like in Japanese... I think they'll be starting so far behind as a whole that they risk being easily discouraged. There is no monocle.
Mr Epeen It's All About Me	Posted - 2011.07.07 16:56:00 - [43] Nexon, eh? Can I import her into EVE?

Which has nothing to do with anything other than PLEX. Sure I'm worried about CCP going a different route in another market and not letting us know, but my biggest concern is that the Japanese are huge gamers and will be buying up PLEX in droves which will drive the cost of in-game items up through the roof AND the standard of equipment necessary to be on equal terms will be far greater. Read my whole post before making stupid comments. Kthxbai I wanna be L337!!!
dakin Minmatar Kymmer-yn-Edeirnion BR0WNC0ATS	Posted - 2011.07.07 17:14:00 - [45] This is not a great idea for two reasons. Downtime and patches. I highly doubt you can convince more people to sign on to EVE when you have a half hour downtime during prime time hours. I know you said you might have DT licked eventually, so hopefully that is coming soon and this complaint might not matter much. But DT combined with patch day doesn't leave warm fuzzies. Patch days usually take the entire evening in the Japan/Korea/Australia region so recommending EVE to these players is a rather difficult proposition.
I Love Boobies Amarr All Hail Boobies	Posted - 2011.07.07 17:15:00 - [46] I doubt anyone in CCP has actually played NEXON games. They wouldn't be partnering with them if they did. Then again, this is the "new" CCP where profit outshines quality.
Nadine Le'Slut	Posted - 2011.07.07 17:23:00 - [47] i get the feeling everybody's missing out on ccp only releasing a localized client for japan
Illwill Bill For a fistful of Veldspar	Posted - 2011.07.07 17:24:00 - [48] So, how will this be done? PLEX through Nexon's web store? Or will they pay for T2 mods?
Gwenywell Shumuku	Posted - 2011.07.07 17:32:00 - [49] Originally by: Nadine Le'** i get the feeling everybody's missing out on ccp only releasing a localized client for japan And whos fault is that? CCP KNOWS how we will react to this damn, i really don't know if they just dont care anymore or if incompetence is so widespread over there that there is just no hope. Man, its been only 1 WEEK, and they ** up again in communications.

No, CCP is going to open up the Jove Space, Jita will be replaced by a system there named T0-KY0. ~No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.~ Tiericide

Read my whole post before making stupid comments. Kthxbai Ah, so you are worried about PLEX, not about MTs then? My bad, I thought you were suggesting that NEXON was going to introduce non-vanity microtransactions into EVE - which CCP just said they didn't have plans for. Currently, the demand for PLEX is bounded. As players buy more PLEX, the supply of PLEX on the market increases, while the demand remains the same. Law of Supply and Demand states that the price of PLEX will thus FALL, making PLEX cheaper. No amount of PLEXing can increase the ISK supply - once the market is saturated, the amount of ISK transfered to RMTers becomes fixed. ---------- Originally by: Dr Fighter "how do you know when youve had a repro accident" Theres modules missing and morphite in your mineral pile.

Except in the case that the Japanese are huge gamers and it's basically a professional sport for them. They will dominate the game in relatively short order and then will be paying for PLEX to get even more money with ISK in-game. Your thoughts are reverse of what I am thinking. Look at FFXI and the professionalism that they expected there, in short order PLEXes are going to be scarce while the cost of things will become very high. High cost modules + low supply of PLEX due to increase in purchases from professional gamers and alliances = a lot of us casuals are going to be screwed. >< I wanna be L337!!!

Do you have any link to the source of this information ? Thank you. I have to admit, I'm only going on common sense here. In order to make bypassing NEXON impossible, CCP would have to prevent IP addresses originating from Japan from accessing certain portions of their website. IIRC, CCP doesn't even do this to Chinese IP addresses who have their own server. The thought of CCP doing this to their Japanese customers, but not their Chinese customers is quite illogical. Also, this would screw over their non-Japanese customers in Japan (such as those who work at the embassy, military bases, moved to Japan because of their work, or moved to Japan because their parent/guardian had to move to Japan for one reason or another). ---------- Originally by: Dr Fighter "how do you know when youve had a repro accident" Theres modules missing and morphite in your mineral pile.
