Got this from the in divelopment thingy.
4 New Bloodlines
A new bloodline is being added to all races. The Amarr Khanid, the Minmatar Vherokior, the Gallente Jinmei and the Caldari Achura
Well this just sucks. Add new bloodlines after you've made your char. I've wanted to be Khanid since I made my character and now it's might be possable in the future so I just have to make a new character???

EVE is going to shard? That kinda sucks, altho given just how bad farmers tend to be on Asian MMO servers, it'd probably be a good idea. I've read about people who run businesses that just farm on games and sell the money/items irl and make huge profit, if that comes into EVE, it'd be horrible.

Problem is, the plan is to merge the 2 shards after a couple of years.

And in doing so, they will close off Eve to China.. Beign as the new shard is being created to fall in line with the laws that are being brought into to China, that will restict the amount of time a person is allowed to play MMORPGs.

The wars that'd come about because of the merging would be simply epic. I'm looking forward to it. ______________________________

If the asian market gets intergrated with the tranquility cluster is the time i cancel my subscriptions. Its hard enough sometimes to understand people. And if you think isk farming and selling is bad Now? Then you have not seen anything yet.

Wouldn't that mean we would all have to abide by the rules as dicated by the Chinese Communist Government? And they would be monitoring all of us?    
I guess I better make the most of my next 2 years in Eve.

I thought the asian market shard was going to remain asian only because it needed to be run through the chinese gov't or summich.
They can't possibly think they can merge two unique shards together and not destroy the game entirely. -------------------------------------------------------- Lance Corporal BSC Military

And you read this where? I for one am glad the Chinese get their own shard, and hopefully Chinese law prevents them from ever merging the 2. Anyone who's ever played an Asian MMO knows that they will stop at nothing to macro and ruin a games economy.

I am tired of reading such ignorance. Why would the Chinese govornment be monitoring us? Right now Chiense people use the internet. And Americans(etc) use the internet. But just because Chinese people are being monitored does not mean the rest of us are. The Chinese people could easily have a lightly different client than us that makes them log off (or whatever) after 3 hours of gamplay, while our client has no timer built in. You would not have to be onitored or be timed if you played EVE but lived outside of China. (Not saying I want the two servers to merge or anything, but I'm just saying that there CAN be two slightly diff clients styles both running on the same "shard" at the same time.)

Yes Bhaal, can you please enlighten the rest of us as to where you go this info?
All I've read from the devs is that they're 'definitely not' going to merge the two.

"6. Are you thinking about bringing EVE Online to China like other games (i.e WoW)? (有没有考虑像绝大部分网游一样在中国国内寻找代理?) Yes, indeed we are. Even tough EVE is designed so that network topology is not an issue, and you can play EVE competitively from China on our London server cluster, we still plan for a special Chinese EVE World. We have even thought of creating a special unique Chinese world, completely different from the one we have in London. The wildest ideas about the differences between the London cluster and the China cluster, involve them starting out in a different part of the EVE galaxy, unconnected to the current regions of Amarr, Minmatar, Gallente, Caldari and Jove. Then we would give the Chinese world about 1-2 years to catch up, in an accelerated fashion. Then once the London cluster and the China cluster are about equal in techlevels and player infrastructure, we would possibly merge the clusters and open up the possibility for massive fleet combat¦s and cross world trading. Again, these are some of our ideas now, who know¦s what the future will actually bring."

Lots of comments taken out of context in this thread. First, the new races will be available on Tranquility in the future. They are not exclusive to an Asian based server. To take advantage of the new bloodlines, it will be necessary to create a new character.
Hilmar's statement in the interview mentions a possible option. Here is the quote, the italics are mine, <snip>"we would possibly merge the clusters and open up the possibility for massive fleet combat¦s and cross world trading. Again, these are some of our ideas now, who know¦s what the future will actually bring."
Hilmar also stated in the E-ON interview that this was a "wild idea". Again, nothing concrete or definitive. Will it happen? Who knows, as there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed before a merge is given the go ahead, including server to server connection with minimal communication speed loss, system architecture, compatibility of the databases, scale of the economies, server population, etc., etc., etc.
Let's wait and see what is going to happen before running around like Chicken Little yelling, "The sky is falling!" There's a lot of ground to cover before this is given serious consideration.

She is the Community Manager for NC soft's Auto Assault. I chat with her from time to time and she enjoys what she is doing over there. However, she does miss the EVE community.
