As software developer I can say that this will require hilarious amount of man-hours.

Yes, because expecting accountability from those we pay for a service, and to not simply be ignored and dismissed out of hand in a bait-and-switch bit of pablum to brush concerns about CCP's IT failings, these things are 'crying'.

Tell me, do you feel the same way when your mechanic screws up your car? Do you just shrug and keep paying the computer technician who loses all your data? The landscaper who manages to destroy your yard?

Just stop.

Eve didn't launch till 2003

Yeah brown-nosed troll.

Building a MMO where only 40 people can fight on a grid? If you really believe that then your opinion isn't valid anyway.

Oh and you want some math? $20 x 500,000 subs = $10 MILLION PER MONTH But CCP can't afford hardware?

TEN MILLION a month isn't "little resources" troll, maybe you should relearn business 101?

There's thing thing, it's called the weekend, and it's that time where a lot of our development team spend time with their families after working long hours all week.

Maybe it's been talked about, done, and I'm beating a dead horse, but it just seems to me that everything revolves around the timers, and everyone needs to be in one spot for the fight. No one seems to think about cutting off access in surrounding systems...I really wish I could log into the main eve news websites and read about multiple engagements in fountain that had a profound effect on the battle for a particular system.

Most kills had around 10 people on them, a few from CVA were in the 50s. All told, about 5-7 megathrons died, and maybe a few dozen celestis. There were at one point over 2000 pilots piled into Z9PP, comparatively speaking, there wasn't a concerted effort to keep CFC forces from coming down the pipe.

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm thinking systems aren't saved on nodes logically, like by constellation or region. At least, that's why I think people have been complaining about TiDi in completely empty systems that are no where near fountain.

You got it, there are usually 70 done odd systems on a logical node......they are in no way geographically related in game.

Which makes perfect sense when you are trying to spread processor resources.

If CCP wanted to REALLY improve server performance they should limit the size of fleets. MOAR fleets = MOAR FCs = MOAR Primaries = MOAR ships going POOF faster which should equal an increase in the battletimes removing players faster from the area and hopefully keeping up their hardwares ability to process the information.

Fleet Cap is what 250 players or so? The fleets i sat in seemed like this, "primary x", and then everyone shoots anything but them anyway. Why shouldn't fleets be cut down to like 50 ships or so. Then you'd have 5 fleets hopefully killing 5 ships at a time instead of the 1 they are hoping to kill now.

Of course i'm just a scrub and know literally nothing about how this stuff works, just a thought that seems to make sense.

It works nothing at all like that, but please tell me more about dynamic load sharing, not like I'm a computer engineer or anything.

Blizzard hasn't come close to fixing it, hence the cap on that outdoor PvP area in lich king.

Did you really just say someone does something on the internet physically?

Go back to WoW. I'm sure you fit right in with the fairies and trolls and goblins or wtf ever those people roleplay.

Don't comapre WoW and Eve.

You will never experience a large World PvP fight in WoW. During classic the fight of 40 Shamans Vs. 40 Paladins has crashed down the server. WoW is not designed for World PvP and Blizzard was constantly killing World PvP since BC(January 2007).

Nobody cares.
