Bhaal	Posted - 2005.07.18 11:21:00 - [2] Quote: Good! Then all the West players will band together, make one great big alliance of alliances, and go to war with the chinese! Then with 1000 ships fighting, we will melt a server nod! I'd hate for EVE to resort to RL politics. However US, UK & AUS players vs. Communist Chinese sounds like a fun bloodbath to me... Maybe the Japanese will join us this time??? ------------------------------------------------ Views expressed by this character in no way shape or form reflect the views of M. Corp as a whole.
Bhaal	Posted - 2005.07.18 11:56:00 - [3] I don't think my post deserved deletion... Anyways, I hope EVE expands to this market & the game grows. I also hope CCP continues it's hardline stance against farming in-game currency & selling it for RL currency. Maybe we'll finally see the 24,000 simultaneous players the DEV's were talkling about at release... ------------------------------------------------ Views expressed by this character in no way shape or form reflect the views of M.

Bhaal	Posted - 2005.07.18 12:06:00 - [4] Quote: At the CCP event in Copenhagen about half a year ago CCP told us: They have been planning to open up EVE for the asian market but will do so very different from other MMO's and even the spirit of EVE. That big chunk of space that's unhabited will be opened up exclusively for the asian market and with an entirely new race with new mods/ships/skills etc. Then after leaving them by themselves not connected to the rest of EVE for about 6 months they'll open it up to the rest of the universe .... I personally like that idea ALOT, it will make the asians get to know EVE without us vets being there to pod them all the time from the get go and also shift the political landscape once the space is opened up. Wow, that sounds like some kind of special treatment to me... I think doing it that way would cause some resentment, and there could possibly be retaliation after the 6 months was up... It could get ugly... It could be very interesting if done that way ------------------------------------------------ Views expressed by this character in no way shape or form reflect the views of M.

Bhaal	Posted - 2005.07.18 12:19:00 - [5] Quote: I can just imagine the day it's opened up - imagine the war I didn't miss the point You can bet there would be a massive build up of forces b4 that patch, and then an Invasion of the "special" EVE players that have been by themselves for 6 months... It does sound like fun though... ------------------------------------------------ Views expressed by this character in no way shape or form reflect the views of M. Corp as a whole.
Bhaal	Posted - 2005.07.18 13:05:00 - [6] Quote: That sounds suspiciously like sharding to me. Agreed, which I suspect would cause resentment & a backlash when the new shard is integrated into the old... Lots of conflict, bad blood, and frozen corpes littering the opened up space. Where do I sign up? ------------------------------------------------ Views expressed by this character in no way shape or form reflect the views of M. Corp as a whole.
Bhaal	Posted - 2005.07.18 13:59:00 - [7] Quote: Advertise to asian markets and you will have to spend every extra dollar you gain in subscriptions on GMs. Large asian populations are notorious for macroing and ebaying on unbelievable scales. CCP has been completely unable to make even the slightest dent in the eBay problem (banning a few accounts now and then nonwithstanding), and marketing to asian markets will increase the issue by orders of magnitude. Completely argee... ------------------------------------------------ Views expressed by this character in no way shape or form reflect the views of M. Corp as a whole.
Bhaal	Posted - 2005.07.18 14:57:00 - [8] Edited by: Bhaal on 18/07/2005 14:58:01 I do know one thing, Ol' Viceroy will need an entire crate of T2 Tissues to cope with that lvl of sharding if CCP were to implement that idea. And if it wasn't restricted to Asians only, how long do you think it would take for alts or additional accounts from Vets to go exploit that new area of space with their wealth of EVE knowledge? Quite the catch 22. ------------------------------------------------ Views expressed by this character in no way shape or form reflect the views of M. Corp as a whole.
