Leon Linoa The Scope Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.03.17 14:00:00 - [1] - Quote Just curious if anyone lives in japan since this game I think is mainly US based.
Mallak Azaria GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 2680	Posted - 2013.03.17 14:08:00 - [2] - Quote It's mostly EU, the Americans are just the loudest. Apparently booking your flight & accomodation to Iceland BEFORE you buy the tickets for the convention which is pretty much the only reason you wanted to go there in the first place is popular.
Leon Linoa The Scope Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.03.17 14:10:00 - [3] - Quote I think that's a little better , hopefully my time zone won't cause many problems.
J'Poll The Fiction Factory Tribal Band 1975	Posted - 2013.03.17 14:25:00 - [4] - Quote Lol by thinking that the game is mainly US based. The majority of the EVE players come from Russian / EU time zones. But in general (sure there are exceptions) a lot of them have brains and don't shout as hard as the US guys. Then again, there is still a good amount of Japanese / Australian timezone players. Believe that ranking would be: 1. EU 2. Soviet Comrades (aka Russian block) 3. US 4. AUS.

Charlepetit LaJoie Trust Me Ltd 319	Posted - 2013.03.17 17:46:00 - [7] - Quote The biggest annoyance you will run into is the scheduled daily downtime, which I believe is from 11am to 11:30am GMT/UTC. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Daily_downtime The exact player numbers online at different times of the day can be seen on the EVE-Online Status Monitor. The times shown should be GMT/UT. http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility The numbers never drop below half, but those quieter times should be about when it is evening in Japan. Most European players should be at work then, and most players from the Americas will be asleep. The Australians and some of the Russians will be online, though, and both countries have active and well-respected PVP corps. Some players use those "quiet" hours for sneaking. Sneaking especially valuable freighter cargo through pirate systems, sneaking across null sec borders, making sneak attacks on enemy POS's. The Market will also be less active in most systems, which can be a good or bad thing depending on your trading strategy. I have no idea how fast the internet connection is from Japan to the servers.

NightCrawler 85 Phoibe Enterprises Project Wildfire 316	Posted - 2013.03.17 21:49:00 - [14] - Quote One of the issues i can see you encoutering is finding a corp that operates in your timezone. Its not impossible ofc, since there are corps out there that operate more in your timezone and recruit nothing but payers from hose tmezones. I would be very wary of all around the clock corps for tis if you are looking to get ito the operations to be honest. Im sure there are corps around that have such a large spread out playerbase that they will have enough people to run corp/alliance operations during your timezone, but make sure you hang around in their public channels and check killboards.

Lord Battlestar CALIMA COLLABORATIVE Atrox Urbanis Respublique Abundatia 28	Posted - 2013.03.18 00:23:00 - [15] - Quote You seem to line up best with the Australian TZ, so therefore I recommend trying to find a corp of Aussies as their TZ is the closest, and there are some very active corps out there. I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart.

Aussie/Kiwi players are both in a good TZ (and you can share complaints of DT being unfair) and fun to play with. Just remember that "mate" is a normal thing to call a friend and doesn't mean anything else ;) CCP Eterne: Silly player, ALL devs are evil.
Blackhuey Adorable. 35	Posted - 2013.03.18 05:18:00 - [17] - Quote Alliances are always looking for more AUTZ players, and Japan sits in that TZ. Don't worry about downtime, it's rarely a big issue with DT durations down to <10 minutes sometimes, and it can have some benefits, e.g. allowing you to sneak into/out of nullsec before the camps go up. It's also a little reminder to check on RL every now and then. @blackhuey \| @srspodcast \| Srs Bzns Podcast for new players in Eve: http://srspodcast.com

Vilnius Zar Ordo Ardish 775	Posted - 2013.03.18 10:37:00 - [19] - Quote Well, when you enter US time zones the average IQ does tend to drop by about 30 points and a lot more shouting/posing/trolling happens, so I have to agree.

As a dual US/UK national I doubt that I have an English dialect of any sort. Apologies then. My assumption was based on your absurd comment about US English somehow not being the real thing. Mainly just like to aggravate UK guys by calling it the American language. This is pretty far off topic anyway. Join the Revolutionary Front and liberate New Eden from it's stuff.

Only English as used by the nation that created it can possibly be the real thing - any other version is by definition only a derivative.

Leon, there are many Japanese players in EVE and quite a few Japanese corporations. You should be able to find one no problem. Maybe ask these guys: https://gate.eveonline.com/Corporation/Neko%20Neko%20Honpo I'm listening to-áBj+¦rk, playing EVE, eating fishsticks, and I'm cold....this is immersion gaming.

Seconded... the zone I'm in is like 50%+ German from what I've seen. Plus you've got that one entire region ruled entirely by the Russian ~~Mob~~ Alliance. For me that the whole fun of playing MMOs... to be in a a fleet with people from England and Germany at the same time (although in most games I swear I am always completely surrounded by Australians). EvE is like prison.-á It's a place when bad people go to learn how to become even worse people.
