Hmm... the lag must have been horrible. 30.000 people in the newbie systems?
Didnt the cluster crash?

I'm guessing, but isn't the whole of China in the same timezone? It's either gonna be deserted, or lagged out to ****. At least we have the advantage of players being scatterred around in different time zones to ease the load.

Yes, they're on the same time zone, but I doubt they all work 9-5, as much of that would be in dark in some areas. So there should still be some spread. Plus there are college students to play in the middle of the night. It won't be as even spread out as TQ is, but everyone won't be on at once and no one for the other 20-odd hours.

Maybe a little, but the income from CCP China will make this game skyrocket. So I think it will lead to good things in the end for all of us. Besides, we get to experience the new stuff before the ebil china players.

\o/ for another post full of idiotic remarks... people claiming they know it all while in fact displaying no clue whatsoever about the topic at hand...
The China server is a great thing for CCP and certainly a sign that we will enjoy EvE for many years to come...
As for those with too few brain cells to realise this, let me suggest that what ever the numbers of registered players China will always have higher records of logged on at same time... WHY ? think TIME ZONE... and the fact the Chinese government limits the numbers of hours that can be played online per day to 3-4 hrs I believe...
Long Live EvE China, the stronger it becomes the more EvE World will benefit !

I'm not sure the pricing policy will necessarily be the same as for us... which is a good thing for the Chinese player base

Edited by: Voltaire Leriel on 13/06/2006 21:02:48 Congratulations CCP!
One thing everyone should remember is that the gameÆs content was changed significantly to fit the governmentÆs strict standards. So its not even the same game. Imagine what EVE would be like without the political and religious contentà it just wouldnÆt be as interesting by a long shot. Of course, it seems they simply replaced that content with other stuff, but IÆm not sure what. In any case, TQ is a better game in the end, we have all the juicy storyline.
As for violating the 1-server scheme, it was totally necessary. As much as the Asian players WTFPWN people in PvE games like WoW, I canÆt imagine what theyÆd do to us in a PvP centric game like EVE. In those PvE games, they kill all the biggest bosses before everyone else they have more and better loot, ect. WeÆd get crushedà not to mention there are just plain more of them.
IÆm wondering how much of the money generated by EVE-China will go to CCP for further development.
That could mean soonÖ could become a-lot-soonerÖ
PS: the response time would not be better; I hear that ChinaÆs firewalls create a lot of lag because theyÆre trying to block all kinds of things. Besides, there are probably more backbones between Australian and the US/EU than there are between China and Australia. Hard to say though.

Also might be worth mentioning that as CCP gets more money and more staff, they might take on more projects, meaning as far as staff/money/time goes, ratio wise, they might be about the same. If they have the ability to churn out more content, faster, that means they can churn out more bugs, faster.

I'm sorry but this just does not ring true, Any company that has one product that has worked so well will, when the funds are there, branch off into other projects, I'm not expecting EvE to last forever but there only so much you can do with a single product.
The more income CCP get the more they will want to get, it's human nature to always want more or better. With the release of more "team based" games, (star trek online, and what do you give to your team? 3% faster, %8 more shield HP or just one more number in a blob) the more EvE will fall behind and the more work CCP will have to do just to keep EvE in it's current state "fun" to play.
The graphics update is one thing, more eye candy but at what cost.. so your badger 2 looks a little diffrent or the cara has more detail at heart it's still EvE, older players will indeed know that the game has not changed just what you look at looks a little better. While CCP i'm sure have no plans to do a rewrite of the most basic things, it's sometimes the small things that can have a more desired effect. I can live without flying a titan or a carrier even a Battleship but each time I stop my ship I level off ? and with that much income now being droped into CCPs lap how long before ideas about how our server could be used to make more income.
this was not a rant and i think there were lots of diffrent views in there mixxed up but i really hope and wish for CCP to see that while titans and carriers and T2 BPOS are great in game, they are jsut items in a game that could do with something more.
EDIT for typo and a few breaks for people to take a gulp of air.

also, that there are limited what you can do with a single product - really depends on the product! And this product is really a huge one! There are so much they can do in this game, to eveolve it that its insane! Planetary use is just one of them!
There is so much I want to see in this game, So I really hope CCP earns LOTS of cash, so they can hire all the new devs, to make all those shiny things I want to see in this game 
And oh, congratz with the launch of the EVE China Server! Please keep us informed of our new brother in Asia

Its open beta
lets see how many will actually pay for the game and then how will Eve develop there. Eve without our strong alliance system and a bit of dedicated politics isnt Eve.
And since thy cant sell the items on american/european ebay, it will be interesting.

After having read stories of Chinese players that passed out at their pc's after having spent so long playing various MMORPG's.
Players who had to be arrested after refusing to leave internet cafes etc.
Its going to be scary to see who will pull out to be the first pilot to set records.
Although thats if Jita doesnt crash ;p ___________________________________

Maybe a little, but the income from CCP China will make this game skyrocket. So I think it will lead to good things in the end for all of us. Besides, we get to experience the new stuff before the ebil china players. 
I'd rather see them launching all the new stuff and run patches on the chinese server first, let them walk point.
Disagree, this is why.
Scenario 1. CCP deploy patch to EVE-China first. Threads appear on here complaining that CCP is playing favourites to the other server.
Scenario 2. CCP deploy patch to us first. Threads appear on here complaining that we're the trial run for the EVE-China patch.
Scenario of actual truth. Tranquility is CCP's baby and will always be first in their hearts!
Don't forget, we just had two patches in the space of about two weeks on TQ. Can't you guys feel the love? <3 CCP.

congratualtions are due to CCP. that's a middle finger up to Blizzard, eh?
I'd have loved to see the traffic jam entering and leaving the newbie system stations... wonder if that'll need some technology that will be transferrable to hub stations like jita IV-M4 and similar places where there's invariably jams of barges/indys all bouncing off each other's collision boxes. Possibly a new set of "busy" station models that has 4 or more undocking routes, to stagger undocks onto differnt vectors?

China has thier own devs and server. But all those subs means more money for CCP, which means more goodies for all. They develop content/stuff for EVE Online, and apply it to both Serenity and Tranquility.

True, we did. Although all the actual content of those patches was cut out... They were bugfixes. And look at Kali, which essentially just got pushed back. (All interesting features arent in the first patch, no we got "The path to Kali" now. Excuse for delay, tbh.)

Eve has a very intersting advantage over other MMORPG in China.
There is a law in China that says that after a certain number of hours of play, you must get less XP and after some more no XP for playing.
This is one of the reasons why companies doing such games must setup servers there. Eve, has no XP system and this technically does not affect them. :) That is a draw to a lot of players. ------------------- Sig removed, please stay away from extremely cute and cuddly sigs, email [email protected] if you have any questions |

On a more serious note does this mean we will see a decrease in macro mining on our server ?

Not read the whole thread so forgive me if I'm repeating.
Go CCP!!!
I saw a suggestion that Aussies might want to use the China cluster. No thanks, not with their play restrictions and there is more lag from here to China than from here to London. Eve is very playable in Aus as is, even on a 28kb radio modem. That and personally I don't read / write Chinese too well.
Now here is an interesting matter. Given the timezones and the fact there is no need to update servers similtaneously why not patch the China cluster first. With nearly double the users and double the load you'd be able to find bugs & issues quicker and delay deployment on Tranquility until they are fixed. 
......
heh, it was worth a try right?  
Congrats CCP.

Good God they're taking goonfleet to a whole new level!
BTW, has anybody thought what effect the chinese server will have on lag in general? Think about it, they're going to have MUCH MUCH more simultaneous players on their server then we will on ours, and as such the lag there will probably be much greater. CCP is going to have to optimize the game more, hopefully not just throw more YARRRRDWARE! at it, to compensate for the added stress.
And since the servers are mirror's of each other, we get the benefits of that, makes us even more lag free! \o/

Must be great for the chinese people to have its own server localy in the country without having 500ms pingtimes and damit, i wish i could get an account there and get a lot of research agents.. just thing of the first week of seeding T2 bpos . Bet someone gets a Capr II bpo for 170 RPs or smth silly like that.
Well, many players but what does it cost to play in china on the eve-o servers - i bet its not $14.95 per month else it would be less than that number, and thats meaby a another good reason why they have their own server due to the economic they have.
Is there a way we, players of TQ, can get more inside info, i mean,. first created allinace and stuff like that would be nice to see how a new world builds up from start.
Chinese proxy.. time to look for one I bet i get shorter ping times to the china cluster than to london

Racism is hard to fight. I mean, if i write something stupid in a thread and let people know im from sweden, alot of the readers will think "oh those swedes are stupid" if im the only swede they come in contact with.
I think its the same with the chinese. Once you talk to some chinese people or even watch them on youtube or whatever, you'll see that they are very much like everybody else. If you travel alot you will also be forced to see people for what they really are.
Its hard to both have good friends of a certain race and at the same time be a racist. So that basicly means that the racists talk about people they dont even know, because they have wrongfully determined that everybody of a certain race is similar to eachother.

Congratulations CCP!
Its exciting to see you coming into a new level of success - and in some very very small and near-insignificant way I feel part of that success. As such I want to know MORE!
1) IMHO this success is being understated by CCP considering what it is. Is that the way it is at CCP HQ? Whats the atmosphere there or is it business as usual?
2) How is Serenity doing?? Is she lagging? Is she performing well? Does she have similar hardware to the current TQ?
3) How are you guys gonna scale that quickly!!!? I'm of course not looking for any details (well, I am, but I dont think I'll get them)... but if that was day 2 how are you going to deal with the lag when you actually release the server??
4) What reviews are you getting? What do chinese players like? What do they hate? Stats on concurrent connections aside, how is the game being recieved??? (If it's being recieved well it only proves that Chinese players have good taste.)
5) Does Serenity have the same anti-macro/bot/exploit EULA in spirit? Or has that also been altered to better accomodate a different culture?
I kinda envy a fresh clean server - everyone in noob ships - and the difference between gunnery0 and gunnery3 being a decider in combat...
Need more info! But overall, I'm excited for you CCP - good show! __________

I suspect a subscription to EVE:China will be significantly less than EVE:World ex. China. A third year school teacher gets about 600 RMB per month plus room and board. 15 USD is 123 RMB. For 123 RMB I could eat out at decent restaurants in China for 5 days (and have a beer too). That amount of money would buy one comparable meal in the U.S. So both in terms of exchange rates and purchasing power, 15 USD is just too much for more than a small handful of Chinese citizens (maybe roughly the population the size of Italy live to delevoped world standards with significant disposable income).
Also everyone should realize that something free (an open beta) will have more demand than something that costs, and especially the first few days.

A question that's been bugging me for a while: What does the Chinese map look like? Has it been finalised yet? A lot of the names in the TQ map are very Euro-centric, so it makes sense there will be different names, but will there be different regions and spacelanes too? I can see in the future, the argument being that the EVE wormhole redirected itself and at some point the two universes will meet when the wormhole reopens. Sure, the TQ people will be better, but there will be more chinese players per TQ player. Perhaps someone can do the math, given the expected number of chinese players, expected dropout rates, etc, at what point in the future will the sum of all SP in China be roughly comparable to the total SP of TQ?
An interesting thought

I also wonder about the names of various things other than systems. Are Serpentis still serpentis? The name makes little sense if you don't speak english, or some other Euro-tongue. Are the same empires located in the same places with the same outlaw groups nearby (names notwithstanding).
Will the same systems become trade hubs?
Some systems are trade hubs due to location, even though lanes may have changed they remain hubs due to force of habit, and prior hub-ness. Some are hubs because of agents, some of whom have long since moved away. Some hubs may be so because some large group of players decided to establish themselves there early on and offer some T1 stuff for sale.
Since people won't be getting out and forming the same kinds of alliances, their Empire behaviour will be very interesting. What about some enterprising Chinese players forming some sort of journalism group to keep us over on TQ informed of what's happening. Especially if there are chinese-speaking players out there who have been around on TQ since early days.

Yeah, i would love to start over as well. Problem is that the implimented restrictions by the chinese goverment would mean you couldnt play when you wanted, people couldnt understand you, and you couldnt understand them, even if the client was available in english. So unless something terrible happens to our server it wont happen (secretly hoping it will) :P ________________________________________________ I survived Veto and all i got was this lame sig. |

You understand nothing. Why is it so hard for you to understand that CCP will still be making patches, which they apply to us as normal and then hand over to the company in charge of EVE china to be applied there? All this means is CCP gets more money ot hire more pogrammers etc to give us more (or just improved) content.

Was wondering the same thing. Interesting setup on that guys ship though 
I really hope when Serenity matures, there will be a way to link the servers, or have an opening to neutral ground(a 3rd server where people can come and go) and leave TQ/SE exclusive to the people already living there. With China's strict laws and such, maybe it could be done so that the two would not be able to 'talk' to each other in a similar way to WoW's alliance/horde chat system.
I guess its all just wishful thinking though, really doesnt seem like CCP has any plans of the sort. ___

it would be interesting tho, Like us TQ people being a resistence force against the hordes of people from the chinese server lol. Having roving bands of people from TQ ganking people left alone from the chinese server hahah would be funz

Right, it wouldnt be fun if the chinese goverment forms an alliance of its own that would wardec and destroy any western corp with capitalistic ideas, while expressing their idea's with a million secure cans, spying on all the players to find dissidents! Oh actually, it would be neat  ________________________________________________ I survived Veto and all i got was this lame sig. |

lets see how many will actually pay for the game and then how will Eve develop there. Eve without our strong alliance system and a bit of dedicated politics isnt Eve.
And since thy cant sell the items on american/european ebay, it will be interesting.
Actually I think them sticking to large single corporations would make EVE China a better game. Alliances with corporations fencing around when the going gets tough and playing all sides of the field within a week like so much musical chairs is downright silly.
Forget about merging two identical star clusters, not interested in being convoed every 5 minutes about buying isk.

You understand nothing. Why is it so hard for you to understand that CCP will still be making patches, which they apply to us as normal and then hand over to the company in charge of EVE china to be applied there? All this means is CCP gets more money ot hire more pogrammers etc to give us more (or just improved) content.
Relax a ittle, and go learn stuff.
We didn't get any patches for months because CCP didn't have a test server to test it out on. Because it was being used as the Chinese test server. The former lead designer for the original EVE is also now working on EVE China. Losing the lead designer for a project is pretty serious.
I also noticed that, even though we have a test server again, we've still only got one piddly little patch and a hotfix that still haven't fixed a few issues we've had for months. Maybe now that EVE-China is out the door we'll actualyl see something. _________________________________________________________

The only explaination I can think of to why they already have fleets with battleships is because its BETA and probably quicker training and very cheap ships.
That fleet have some strange ship setups though...

A few quick question, for the vets like yourself. Is this what happened with eve (v2003) beta ? All the fancy toys that existed at that time with the skills and money to fly them ?
I also remember a screen-shot of a character sheet with all maxed-skills. It was mentioned this x-days long event signalled the end of beta, but what happened after that and it went live ? Were all characters reset or deleted ? Did anything live past the beta phase into Tranquility's universe ?
Just curious

China's IP range blocked from TQ. That explains the sudden disapperance of a large band of 'miners' and 'haulers' from The Citadel. I wonder how this will effect the ISK sellers?

Well, tbh, should CCP have an idealistic approach rather than their pragmatic one, I know a couple of countries currently playing on TQ that should be banned due to "human rights" issues. 
And oh my, those setups they've got there rock.  ------------------------------------------------ -OCC- |

I'm curious to know what the pricing will be for the Chinese server. Does anyone know what the Chinese mmo market typically charges for mmos? I'm guessing they'll be paying less than us. This could explain why there are IP bans preventing us from joining.

If CCP blocks the IPs from China, on TQ, the ISK farmers from China will go out of business. What's the point in farming isk in the Chinese server if you can't take it to the TQ server in any way? It's like trying to sell a stabber to a WOW player... ^^ Question is, will CCP block the IPs from China on TQ, now that they have their own Chinese, totalitarian version there? That could solve part of the macro problem, at least the one coming from there!

If the Chinese have their own server and we are blocked from there, then they must be blocked from us. I see no reason why would the chinese would be allowed to play on Tranquility if we cannt play on their server _________________________________

Not surprising, EVE has grown A LOT. It's open beta and first day for their release. You know how some people say you shouldn't start playing an MMO until it has been out a year? Well, EVE is in it's prime.
I'd like to find out things like if anything in the game was censored. The chinese gov are like communists, in that they censor their people and censor subjects. Also I think they are time limited and can't play games for more than X hours before their government wants them to log off. Yay police state <3 china, but seriously their gov needs to lighten up.

Poor stargate was probably overloaded...

Its an open beta not actual commercial operations just yet hence all characters would be skilled max i would say at least for now until it goes live.
So they would have access to ships that said blocking china based IPs would be welcome from many on TQ not all ISK farmers come from there but a large amount do - will reduce it until they switch countries of operations

I thought about it - especially for the fact that there is fresh 0.0 space for all of them.
They won't form big alliances, there will be a lot of small, unstable alliances as soon as they figure out, how it works, and they will start claiming 0.0.
After the first wave of claims there will be intruders who attack the first claimers.
This will go on for a while, then the political system will become much more stable than on Tranquility, because there will be no local superpowers (no G alliance for example).
There will be MORE wars (yes, I know that this may sound like a contradiction in the first place, but it isn't), but the overall political situation will be calmer and somehow "slower". Hotter, but not so much movement. Maybe you can get the picture.

umm buy the way that "BoB Blob" is caused by the jump queues that they have introduced to reduce lag in hub systems
and i quote a Kjartan blog posted on the china eve site
"To illustrate this, we can take the start of the open beta as an example. We anticipated a large influx of players in the first days. This meant that we had to provide new game mechanisms to be able to handle such a large amount of beginning players. We added 48 new starting locations, as well as implementing login queues and jump queues. Even with these mechanisms in place, the influx was still above the capacity of the starting systems. This is why we asked more experienced players to quickly move out of the starting locations, which is a good idea anyway for players, as life in EVE is more interesting outside of the starting systems."
umm Linkage for those who havent found it yet
