The Enslaver	Posted - 2006.03.11 12:54:00 - [1] Well, basic information is starting to circle, but all I've been able to tell is that there is some form of alpha testing, and that in the first minute the servers went up - over 50,000 people tried to login... That would with my estimates probably even out to be 300,000 people online at once if it all got settled.... So, any chance of some information on the server for us TQ players? We may not be able to play on it, but we all still want to know what's going on! -------- Shinra Director
Dark Shikari	Posted - 2006.03.11 12:59:00 - [2] Remember, its an alpha test. The vast majority may not go on to play the actual game due to its cost or the fact that they didn't like it. [23] Member: Official Forum Warrior What's with the blue robots? Click my sig.

At the same time, that means that word of mouth hasn't come into effect, and not many people have heard about it. -------- Shinra Director

I really don't think there will be a way to make that happen with current technologies and the design of eve.

Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.03.11 15:04:00 - [9] Enslaver, since when did you become a shill for Eve China? Propaganda... Look, Eve ain't a big unknown. People in China DO now about it. there's not the sort of blossom effect you're drraming of in there. And if it was... then for certain it'd become the main focus of CCP's efforts. Do remember that the billing model in China is likely to be quite radically different - you don't get the same sort of income per subscriber (It's generally a timecard model, with n hours per timecard).

Hung Sing	Posted - 2006.03.11 16:48:00 - [12] well it may seem harsh but the main reason why many chinese who want to play eve is to make money. however they do it thats the main reason for probly most of those 50k people who go on the alpha test to cheak it out. thats pretty much what i know as im chinese and live in the uk but tryed get a cousin who lives over in china to play this great game but he wount as he knows through other people that many players will play it through macros etc and thinks that there isnt any point of playing. no saying thast ALL chinese players will macro but pretty conviced most are.

Do you realize that since the buyers of ISK on eBay and the like are Westerners, that there will be no ISK selling business, or at least a minimal one, on the Chinese server?

Tempest3K	Posted - 2006.03.11 18:13:00 - [14] Well, I guess we know what happened to the old TQ hardware if the China cluster has suddenly appeared for testing!
Galk	Posted - 2006.03.11 18:42:00 - [15] Originally by: Tempest3K Well, I guess we know what happened to the old TQ hardware if the China cluster has suddenly appeared for testing! Yeah thats right, a server which struggled with 20k users is being stress tested with 50k.... Just for fun like ______ Long ago one gorgeous night, we let the stars grow free. We let Zhuge do that once, he came back carrying a traffic cone, a forsale sign and three empty bottles of dutch lager. He also lost his Zimmer Frame... - Imaran
Mitch Manus	Posted - 2006.03.11 18:51:00 - [16] isnt the china cluster sharded? or did i hear wrong
Tobiaz	Posted - 2006.03.11 18:57:00 - [17] Originally by: Mitch Manus isnt the china cluster sharded? or did i hear wrong EVE is getting a separate cluster, AFAIK that's the only sharding in EVE.

Do you realize that since the buyers of ISK on eBay and the like are Westerners, that there will be no ISK selling business, or at least a minimal one, on the Chinese server? LMAO! Whats so funny? ISK selling relies on two things: 1. People with lots of money to buy the ISK. 2. People with very little money to sell it (as its not a very profitable individual business). In China, a very good yearly wage is 10 grand a year. In America, a similarly good wage would be 100 grand a year. Without those comparatively rich players to buy the ISK, the prices for ISK will be so low that it won't even be worth it to the Chinese to farm it either.

I really don't think there will be a way to make that happen with current technologies and the design of eve. If they can spread people around enough, and with enough hardware - I think its possible. I'm not sure... The major problem which CCP have also encountered on TQ is that 1 system is limited to 1 node. They can have 50 system run on one node, but not the other way around. Baring that in mind, the amount of people the server can effectively handle is dictated by the fastest single node available on the market.
Kel Shek	Posted - 2006.03.12 00:41:00 - [22] woohoo for random speculation! seriously people... relax. though I do imagine it should be interesting to see how play styles, strategys and fitting techniques develop on the other server. stereotypical or not, in large I think most would agree that asians as a whole approach gaming, and general problem solving in an entirely different way than westerners do, (that not being an entirely good or bad thing) and how hearing of those strategys, may or may not effect things on Tranq. ~~~~~ To see a World in a Grain of Sand And Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour ~~William Blake
pshepherd	Posted - 2006.03.12 00:50:00 - [23] i really want to see the chinese version of the Alliance map, if they have similar boarders to what many of our alliances have etc.. also, will there be a chinese BoB? ============== This is a sig O RLY? - Imaran I've only done 4 hours of Tools for 2D graphics, give me a few weeks and i'll be cool, really.
Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.03.12 00:57:00 - [24] Edited by: Maya Rkell on 12/03/2006 00:57:49 Dark, no, it relies on 2 things: Demand and supply. Read up on the secondary market in other Chinese MMO's.

FileCop AI	Posted - 2006.03.12 02:29:00 - [25] Oh, I can just imagine 50k people playing on the server. All from nubs. Each of the starting nub systems has 1k+ people flying about in nubships doing tutorial. Muahhahaha. Then you'd wish you had a smartbomb suicide bship ;) FileCop AI of MASS
Malthros Zenobia	Posted - 2006.03.12 05:42:00 - [26] If I played on the China server, I'd be in 0.0 asap setting up outpost guns ans staking claims/mining the hell out of the good ores.

Blacklight	Posted - 2006.03.12 05:49:00 - [28] Originally by: pshepherd i really want to see the chinese version of the Alliance map, if they have similar boarders to what many of our alliances have etc.. also, will there be a chinese BoB? Yeah we're actually moving to Serenity en-masse and have an arrangement set up with a Chinese provider so we can all connect. As most of us are Devs anyway we're pretty active in the development and testing of the Chinese cluster. The language lessons have been a bit of a problem though but it certainly helped pass the time during our last month's carebearing when we were all practicing our Mandarin on Teamspeak and in gang chat.

This made me lol irl. I would like to hear how EVE China is going, though. Are players from Korea and/or Japan playing on it heavily too? -------------- What good are actions if there's no one to tell the tale afterward? Player of the character "Andre Ricard".
