What's next, whining about how you need to connect to the internet to play eve? What a wonderful idea Tarnish! Cause I mean here I go and pay this monthly fee to play EVE. Yet for at least 8 hours out of every day I'm required to go to this thing called a 'job'. Yet due to this I cannot play EVE! The network filters block all the ports :( This is horrifically unjust! Therefore I demand that CPP create some way for me to connect from work that does not require the use of the internet! I propose they specifically just for me (And all of those other poor folk who dont want to/cant use the internet to play EVE) is to create some sort of high tech omnidirectional reciever/transmitter device, and send every player of EVE a reciever/transmitter so that we could play EVE where ever we go, without the necessity of using the all too often overcrowded and overloaded internet! Immagine it! You could play EVE while on the bus, while on an aircraft, or even while hanging out in the international space station! The internet has alas proven itself to be far too limited! And obviously as I am a paying customer to CPP with a subscrition to EVE CPP should bow to my every whim and demand! THE REVOLUTION IS NOW! Join with me brothers and sisters and let us force CPP to create this mystical means of playing EVE without having to debase ourselves into requiring the diabolical and dehumanizing entity known as the internet! This post has been brought to you by the letter B. Because I'm bored.

Kesslan Osefice Panther's Paw Industries Ltd	Posted - 2006.11.15 11:00:00 - [3] Bah! Eve is greater than Freelancer. Not that I found it that bad of a game tbh. In any case as I said, I want EVE! Not Freelancer (Because I'm now addicted to EVE)

I'll have a look for the detailed description, but it's really not hard to play from work. What is hard if you do so is to keep your job however.

However it is if your saying this software is malisious (sp?) in anyway? It's not malicious as it is... it opens a tunnel however that "could" be used by others. What you are doing looks like that: Eve.exe --> IP X and Port 26000 --> Proxy rerouting it to Yourfreedom --> Yourfreedom conecting to outside Server (provided by yourfreedom) over port 80 --> Outside server rerouting to port 26000 and EVE IP --> connection to EVE. The same the other way round. Thus you communicate over port 80 and no firewall will block it(allmost none, ok). I didnt find the detailed description in the forums anymore and dont have my works laptop here to check, but here is a link that gives some info: http://www.eve-search.com/index.dxd?thread=298973 http://www.eve-search.com/index.dxd?thread=298973
Kesslan Osefice Panther's Paw Industries Ltd	Posted - 2006.11.15 11:23:00 - [14] Ah man what was ment as abit of a joke posting has apparently turned into a serious dicussion. Woe is me :D However I belive what was ment about it being hard to keep your job should you play EVE from work is that generally speaking workplace usage rules for computers states that their for buisiness use only (Which playing EVE most certainly is not) In my case it technically isnt an issue as it's actually allowed (Given that my job does not actually entail very much beyond montering servers, running various queues, swaping out backup media etc, i've got an entire 4hr time span at work where I litterlaly have nothing to do)
Nelix Trist Caldari Nostromo Industries	Posted - 2006.11.15 11:27:00 - [15] Hehe, well, I've been trying to find a way to play Eve at work for the last 2 years, havent found a way yet. But when I heard about this Web-Browser port connect, I tryed it out on some other programs, like IRC and things like that. Now that you brought it up, I thought I would give my input on the matter, as I know a lot of people out there would love to be able to play eve at work. Plus I have my own laptop which I plan to play it on, not the work computers, I'll just leach the internet from them. Might be somthing worth looking into CCP, you never know.

Most proxys automatically download a set of rules for **** and game sites so it would probably be blocked if there was another way. Also as an admin I check the stats every month and ban the top 5 sites that aren't work related. I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game three years' when I know their account has been sold on.
IDesert FoxI	Posted - 2006.11.15 11:37:00 - [17] Is there a risk of getting caught using one of the tunnels remotely, or will you only be sussed if you get caught with it on the screen?
Miss Overlord Gallente EUROPEANS	Posted - 2006.11.15 11:38:00 - [18] tunnels ?
Kesslan Osefice Panther's Paw Industries Ltd	Posted - 2006.11.15 11:39:00 - [19] Aye, and I'm not supprised this is a problem for me given the work setting I'm currently in. I'm merely dissapointed to be honest. Especially as it's caused a few recent setbacks with my startup corp now that I'm not around at the same times I used to be. (Though steps have been taken to correct this as I've got an equal investment partner who covers the timezone period I used to be on often, who also happens to share very similar goals) Certainly if I could find some way to connect to EVE from work I'd do it durring that 4hr timespan just to help keep up momentum and get even more stuff done. Not to mention it would technically be more productive than my current trolling of the forums :D
Sun Ra Brutor tribe	Posted - 2006.11.15 11:46:00 - [20] Actually.... An offline option would be nice, alot of people go on sis just to test fittings, the offline option would be just 1 station/system with every module for free on it, also maybe allow other players to connect to your eve client so you can test your setups vs someone Arcane Frankologies - 'plz stop guys it's xmas'

Ma'Kahn	Posted - 2006.11.15 11:48:00 - [22] Edited by: Ma''Kahn on 15/11/2006 11:49:27 They could also store a working client of the game on a tiny computerchip and then ship that together with an air-pressure gun so that you can basically shoot the game into your brain through your nose. Simply saying "Eve" would then totally replace your visuals with the game. And the kicker: your boss wouldn't notice a **** thing as long you maintain that zombie-ish "i am working or at least pretending to " look on your face. The eve-store would explode with orders.
Filuren Eldaria Industries	Posted - 2006.11.15 11:49:00 - [23] Think I saw somewhere CCP developing some system to play eve via Smartphone. Interestingly I can see at the company I work for (BT) what the people managing the filters are playing. The website of Eve-online is blocked, but the pages for World of Warcraft are not.

Kesslan Osefice Panther's Paw Industries Ltd	Posted - 2006.11.16 04:41:00 - [28] I have created a monster! Pandoras box has been unleashed! Noes! Though I am sorta glad to see these sorts of thigns brought up, and as for WiFi. I may not have to wait for even that. It seems the local phone company (Which also runs an internet service) has bought into the tech that if I recall correctly orrigionates from Japan (Ahh, those crazy Japanese, you gotta love em). Basically you can get an internet connection over a standard household power plug. They've recently begun a massive advertisemnt blitz about it 'Simpatico Unplugged' basically flat out saying you can plug in say.. your laptop anywhere and connect to their net service. It's something I'd have to look into further I suppose, and if it's a viable option, well then I supose it's time i get my laptop fixed and see if they'll let me take it to work

Kesslan Osefice Panther's Paw Industries Ltd	Posted - 2006.11.16 05:19:00 - [30] Originally by: Leverton This guy is definately a... The Majority Stockholder PWNED But just to state it again the op was purely made because of the quote that goes along with it. It was in no way ment to be serious what so ever. It has however spawned a supprisingly serious discussion about ways to connect to EVE from locations other than home. And hey, if it helps me find a viable solution to being unable to play EVE from work I'm all for it, because honestly. My job is boring me to tears, and playing games from work for me at least is infact quite allowable according to my boss, who happens to be the regional director to boot

It's basically EVE offline... has a pretty terrible GUI but is pretty visually appealing and pretty sweet in a lot of ways. You fly a single ship from a twitch-combat type perspective (even up to capital ships) but you can control fleets of AI-controlled warships, set up massive factory complexes and starbases, trade routes for your freighters, etc. Pretty neat, but also very time consuming. My younger bro plays it a bit off and on. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/x3reunion/index.html?q=x3 It'll never replace EVE but it's not a terrible game for an EVE fan. Also, before you go judging the game based upon its rating, take into consideration how Gamespot rated EVE: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/evethesecondgenesis/index.html?q=EVE Lets hope they do a re-analysis after Kali.

For those currious I -BELIVE- it was Maximum PC, that or it was Scientific American or somesuch. Was quite a while ago now bout a year or so) It is infact just city wide WiFi.

Psycho Nguyen	Posted - 2006.11.18 06:46:00 - [37] actually I can access the internet anywhere I go whether on the bus or at the local grocery store.

Iyanah Minmatar Mining Munitions and Mayhem	Posted - 2006.11.18 22:55:00 - [40] this thread IS a joke, right? just want to make sure i'm correctly picking up on the comedy value of the OP's post. i mean, come on, you want to play an MMORPG alone. what would effectively be a server with just you. with no market. no chat. no alliances. are you feeling okay? did you hit your head? besides, having everything clientside would mean people could cheat, you could create your own bookmarks, items, train skills instantly, give yourself billions of ISK. oh, and you'd probably need about a terabyte of harddrive space, and more powerful CPUs than a room FULL of high-spec PCs to deal with all the celestial bodies, NPCs and their AI, etc, for the entire universe. this is why everything is done server-side in eve, to ease the load on your PC and to prevent people *****ing the database and pushing the "I-Win" button. ========================================== Iy

First, no one really cares what gamespot thinks. We all know these sites make money by selling high ratings to the major publishers. Second, X3 is a carebear game at heart. It's more about trade/industry than it is about combat. If you are looking for a combat game for offline check out Independance War 2 Get the demo, it's PHAT.

In fact, unlike in most games of this type, death isn't an inevitability in EVE, which will seem like a refreshing change of pace for most online RPG veterans." Me thinks gamespot might whish to update its review

Yes, if you look at the top of the OP you will see the quote from another thread. I got horribly bored at work, and thus created this thread. It then turned into a supprisingly serious discussion on various peoples attempts to connect to EVE from work. Which many of us alas are incapable of doing currently. For example, for me it would technically be allowed, but the servers block all the ports. This is largely because unless 'Something Bad(TM)' happens I dont really have much to do durring my work day, other than monitor a bunch of backup tapes/cds/dvds etc every hour or so. Yay we finally have a forum: http://pantherspaw.freehostia.com/
