To address some of the things Resolve said:
The big problem in Eve's history is that every time there's a major upgrade, either in hardware or code, the playerbase seems to skyrocket. Thus there's very little time to see how the new stuff is working before the system is pushed to its limits. Thus we're continually dogged by Eve's success.
The devs just haven't had the time to optimize the game under a consistent load. We're constantly pushing the envelope on what the game can do, so there's no time to make it work well under one set of criteria before those criteria are thrown out the door and new ones have to be obtained.
It would be nice if Eve could stagnate for a bit so that the devs can have the time and breathing room to get the job done right.
This is the same problem with fleet battles. 100v100 may have almost worked at one time, but then there's an upgrade and everybody wants to do 300v300. They're like: "It's better, so let's push it to the max," instead of just having fun with what is reasonable.

Good to see you guys are on the case.
Now the only thing I am wondering is how can the two systems (China and World) be so diffrent...
Would it not be wise to try and push to having the same codebase? Just wondering of course. Though I de recall a certain software developer ehm whats their name again, Microsoft or something doing the same with their products due to porting issues they had during development.
They claimed it would cut cost and save time in development of much needed new things and improvments.
Ah, never mind they must be crazy. They probably stoped existing by now.
They have the same codebase. Dragon got it's name from being the first release to China.
To clarify what Oveur said: as he mentioned in a blog, or a forum post, Dragon worked very well in China since it was built from the ground up with Dragon. TQ had been running the old system for over three years when Dragon was added to it. If you've ever installed a new version of Windows on a machine by doing an upgrade instead of a clean install, then saying "**** it, I'm reformatting," you'll see how this can have an enormous impact on how the system runs.
