babyblue	Posted - 2005.08.22 16:50:00 - [1] Is that when the Devs bonus scheme kicks in? .. ..
Marcus Aurelius	Posted - 2005.08.22 16:59:00 - [2] Edited by: Marcus Aurelius on 22/08/2005 17:01:23 You guessed it. at 15k players the dev get a company day out to sit and meditate on some uber glacier somewhere in iceland. Then the local druid comes and they eat dried whale meat all day, followed by the concentrated excrements of a geyser-dwelling bacteria (in lieu of peyote cactii growing in Iceland). they then proceed to decide whats gonna be in Kali and whats gonna be said to be in Kali (tho wholly different things obviously). After that they get drunk so the wives dont suspect anything. then they are brought home by fourwheel drive that drives backwards, for extra enlightenment and to combat the inevitable illness that comes from such a day.
Azuriel Talloth	Posted - 2005.08.22 17:14:00 - [3] No igloos? "Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated."
Winterblink	Posted - 2005.08.22 17:17:00 - [4] It's a goal. Goals are targets that one strives to achieve. There's nothing mystical about it, other than it being one more measurable target of how much this game rocks our world. winterblink warp drive active.http://winterblink.com/wda nature vraie.http://winterblink.com/env
MOOstradamus	Posted - 2005.08.22 17:29:00 - [5] ... because you just made it up to sound cool MOOrovingian "Following & supporting EVE (since Jan 2001) is like wiping your arse with sandpaper."

Posmart	Posted - 2005.08.22 18:22:00 - [7] It's mystical, dummy. That means it is not open to explanation, or description, only direct personal apprehension or experience. You should ask, not "What is this mystical thing?", but "How do I achieve it?". The way to achieve this is the Noble 8-fold Path, that is, buy 8 new accounts and you will be closer to the mystical state.

You mean I have to ditch 3?
Niedar	Posted - 2005.08.22 20:12:00 - [9] Its half of 30k! Thought it was obvious.
Altaireus	Posted - 2005.08.22 20:22:00 - [10] at 15k they will have enough mindless zombies to take over the internet
Dannyy	Posted - 2005.08.22 20:25:00 - [11] wait... Is this something to do with the [23] again ? As in, 1.5x15=22.5= [23] ? Or, 15K users means 23 minutes of lag in a fleet fight ? Or maybe 15K users means at least 23 nodes will crash ? ******************************************************** Gilded Goose Brokerage Essence - Sinq Liason - Genesys - Everyshore - The Citadel - The Forge - Lonetrek - Domain - Tash Murkon - Khanid
PaulAtreides	Posted - 2005.08.22 20:26:00 - [12] 15 is a round number.
Laurela Mangers	Posted - 2005.08.22 21:08:00 - [13] Originally by: PaulAtreides 15 is a round number. 15/2 = 7.5 = not round
Sirkill	Posted - 2005.08.22 21:20:00 - [14] Originally by: Laurela Mangers Originally by: PaulAtreides 15 is a round number. 15/2 = 7.5 = not round Your both fools. 15 is neither round nor (Laurela) even.
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.08.22 21:24:00 - [15] well its something they havent done before so they are now pushing towards 15,000 of us all online at the same time. It meansthey are getting bigger.
Nostradamu5	Posted - 2005.08.22 21:28:00 - [16] At 15k they get to add a new Dev for NPC content or they'll open up Jove space, but if we dip below 15k Jove space will shut quickly and never be found again, unless we hit 50k. Or at 15k Eris gets a pink capital ship of her choice and she'll fly about ganking all the bad little boys and girls. Faulty testing kept me from delivering the "Logic Editor" earlier. I was using my own post and it kept blanking everything out.
PaulAtreides	Posted - 2005.08.22 21:39:00 - [17] Originally by: Laurela Mangers Originally by: PaulAtreides 15 is a round number. 15/2 = 7.5 = not round Yes, they are trying to get 15 people on at the same time!
Sumica	Posted - 2005.08.22 22:44:00 - [18] " mystical 15k PCU looms on the horizon..." Kind of sounds like somthing bad the way they word it. Your not stupid just misinformed Ö
Uggster	Posted - 2005.08.22 22:52:00 - [19] Its mystical for the same reason a 100 is. For some reason
Lardarz B'stard	Posted - 2005.08.22 23:03:00 - [20] 15000 is the number of Icelandic people who don't believe in elves

Elrathias	Posted - 2005.08.22 23:07:00 - [22] mystical? if something is ******* ey mystical its that damned "glory" device that xetic has. anyone got a idea what it does? --------------------------

Joe	Posted - 2005.08.23 02:54:00 - [26] The Golden Ratio turns platinum ohnoes! Oberon Tech II Sales.
Dirtball	Posted - 2005.08.23 03:56:00 - [27] I might be way off here, but I think that 15k is an unconfirmed record from some other game maybe or something and although eve can kind of claim the record now if they got over 15k it could be easily undisputed..... But I'm going off of like 1.5 year old memories here so I may be way off. --- I agree with everything Howard Dean says.
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.08.23 04:34:00 - [28] it proves that their changes have been a big gain in terms of getting more players involved and existing players more addicted Of course only a small % of new players will end up in low sec or 0.0 most will add to the empire mass. That said more RL $$$ for CCP which equals more funds to put into eve in terms of dev hours - GM hours and other hardware and software purchases and programming time Might be why they are speeding kali up - though lets all play a bit more where possible to increase the data mining ability of CCP
Aeon Yakati	Posted - 2005.08.23 10:13:00 - [29] Originally by: Elrathias mystical? if something is ******* ey mystical its that damned "glory" device that xetic has. anyone got a idea what it does? Never been xetic so dont know if they got one as well but the one we found is most certainly a device of some purpose. Many attempts have been made to find out it's function, and even it's shape and mass, but every time we seem to make certain progress someone, somehow, without any causality or correlation to the research, dies, leaving our scientists clueless as to what just happened. the Device
hired goon	Posted - 2005.08.23 13:02:00 - [30] Server Player Limit. ------------ We come in peace. And tanks.
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.08.23 13:13:00 - [31] apparently we need 50,000 online at once to real the entire server limit by then CCP would be very profitable and due to player numbers would have opened up jove space hence creating more spread of players and evne more RL technology on software and backend hardware servers will probably push that limit to 100,000 players at once
Harisdrop	Posted - 2005.08.23 13:38:00 - [32] Its when warp bubbles exspand and you you see a glow around where you engine exhaust is. -------------------------- Does it matter why, its when is more crucial! Sometimes you dont worry about today when its thursday.
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.08.23 13:41:00 - [33] try setting up a bubble in the 1.0 systems (u cant i realise this) but if u could u would trap no end of carebears going wtf is going on omg im trapped bla bla

MEGA LOL
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.08.23 14:01:00 - [35] well its a attainable goal that CCP can aim for and promote lets let em have their fun
Caeden Nicomachean	Posted - 2005.08.23 15:50:00 - [36] The real question is where are these users actually coming from? 8/14/2005 13K PCU Barrier broken then 8/21/2005 Close to 14k PCU So around a thousand new players in that time. Anyone look at the number of trial accounts online? I don't note an explosion in those numbers...and I'm not sure alt growth is terribly impressive. If it is alt growth, adding on the fact they are going to charge money for their newsletter/magazine in the area of 55 bucks a year - it becomes a little funky. If it really is new players, where are the marketing dollars being spent? Asia? shrug
Aeon Yakati	Posted - 2005.08.23 16:45:00 - [37] Originally by: Caeden Nicomachean The real question is where are these users actually coming from? 8/14/2005 13K PCU Barrier broken then 8/21/2005 Close to 14k PCU So around a thousand new players in that time. It's (european) players coming home from summerholidays.
Caeden Nicomachean	Posted - 2005.08.23 16:56:00 - [38] Makes sense. Still wonder at how many of the 14-15k people are individual humans.
Sam Comco	Posted - 2005.08.23 18:01:00 - [39] Hmmm CCP claims this is a record for concurrent users on a single shard without instancing. However a Ragnarok friend of mine says the #1 iRO server reached 15k, and in Korea, 30k. What's the deal?
Serilla	Posted - 2005.08.23 19:09:00 - [40] Edited by: Serilla on 23/08/2005 19:09:54 Originally by: Sam Comco Hmmm CCP claims this is a record for concurrent users on a single shard without instancing. However a Ragnarok friend of mine says the #1 iRO server reached 15k, and in Korea, 30k. What's the deal? Im pretty sure ragnarock was a sharded game. Even if it was 30k on ragna on one shard, ragna rock is not 3 dimensions. you are bound to a plane in space. You can move a short distance from that plane by jumping but you must always go back to it.
Hast	Posted - 2005.08.23 20:17:00 - [41] when the servers hit 15000 people then the devs e-peen will surpass all other e-peens in the world
Derron Bel	Posted - 2005.08.23 20:35:00 - [42] The Ragnarok numbers probably refer to # of accounts on a server. EVE's numbers are for number of people _on_ at one time. AFAIK, there's about 65,000 subscribed EVE accounts -==- Holy-Jim> as you know, surprise is the key to victory.....surprise! LooseCannoN> ahh! LooseCannoN> my plans have been foiled!
Sam Comco	Posted - 2005.08.23 21:35:00 - [43] Edited by: Sam Comco on 23/08/2005 21:36:08 Uhh no I'm not talking about that. Ragnarok, Korea version, aka kRO, averages 20-30k concurrent online players on average PER shard. And on the international version, aka iRO, 8-15k. Any idea how insanely popular RO is over there in Korea?
Kurren	Posted - 2005.08.23 21:54:00 - [44] Yes, but Ragnorok is a fairly weak game comparatively... What I think they're so happy about is the fact that this game literally started out like a garage band and grew to be Metallica... All the devs actually walk around in leather pants at the office too! It's pretty damn scary!
NAFnist	Posted - 2005.08.23 22:13:00 - [45] 15k will transform devs into thargoids.
Aeon Yakati	Posted - 2005.08.24 06:51:00 - [46] Originally by: NAFnist 15k will transform devs into thargoids. Lol, that's the aliens from Elite, right? Played Elite Frontier and I heard there was a thargoid ship somewhere but never any sign of it. Also got to play First Encounters however the game was so buggy (even the remastered version) I never really got to play it...
Kaalise	Posted - 2005.08.24 12:51:00 - [47] Originally by: Sam Comco Edited by: Sam Comco on 23/08/2005 21:36:08 Uhh no I'm not talking about that. Ragnarok, Korea version, aka kRO, averages 20-30k concurrent online players on average PER shard. And on the international version, aka iRO, 8-15k. Any idea how insanely popular RO is over there in Korea? Ragnarok's never included in official statistics since: 1 - it tends to skew them somewhat 2 - The RO statistics are a little unreliable (read: bull) Also bear in mind that a good deal of the kRO players online don't even exist, they're just machines at internet cafes
