The reason I ask is because I have a friend in China that would like to play with me on Tranquility. So I wonder if there are any other Chinese players here, and if they experience much lag and/or packet loss on the way to and from China? If it is a problem. |

The Chinese law says that? My better half is Chinese, and I have many Chinese friends. They play all kinds of online games outside China with ease. |

Who cares about the Chinese law...
...if it's possible, and CCP are ok with it, I guess the Chinese people can play it "at their own risk", so to say. ------------------------------------------------ -RSP- |

Edited by: MWEI on 05/12/2006 14:27:27 As long as it hasn't been blocked by the chinese firewall, you are free to do what you like technically of course its not allowed, just like pirating software, but nobody cares beyond a few cases involving a few people once a few years.
and I'm chinese, contact me in game if you like :) I'm looking for a new corp to do something over the break.

I havent' liked having people in China on the tranq server because their is another server in China for them to play on.
Now don't call me racist but I assumed the reason we have some Chinese players on tranq is because there are people taking advantage of the RL economics of selling isk for dollars or euros and then getting a good exchange rate.
If a person from China wants to join tranq just to play with their friend I wonder, wouldnt' they make more friends on a server where there is no language / culture barrier? Wouldn't they have more fun too? I know I'd love if there was a server just for Canadian players, but we wouldn't have enough of a player base. What do you think of joining the Chinese server instead of him joining tranq?
Althought it's fun to fight RA (they are like aliens, they speak another language, we don't understand them, we just fight!) Their cultural barrier is a huge problem. Their fleets have orders given in both Russian and English, how crazy is that? If they could join an all russian speaking server (and they had the player base to pull it off) who thinks they would stay?

It is my brother-in-law, and no he is not thinking about making money on ISK. Why do people think that if you're from China you gotta be exploiting the system somehow? It is sad. |

If hes your brother in law, just have him install the game and let him log in your account, he can see if they block the traffic and/or the lag.

You're not allowed to though.
if that were true, then many online games would not have such a problem with real money trading - there may be a law regarding this, but it is certainly never enforced.
and this is not me being racist and saying all real money traders are chinese, the sad fact of the matter is that 90% of them ARE, believe me, it was my job to track them down when i was working for another MMO - no, i won't say who, or precisely what i did.
EDIT: allow me to clarify that i do NOT think all chinese players are isk farmers. i've spoken to one or two legitimate chinese players before in this and many other games. ========================================== Iy |

Yes, there are chinese people playing in tranquility, although they shouldnt be.
Past 2 weeks killmail amount is at 28, of which 22 are chinese ISK farmers. Easily recognized by their weird names, such as "tianjun1298", "tianjun0001" and so on. And when they are online 7/24, and running courier missions on autopilot. They even formed a corp just now once again, and we war declared it, and they are suffering quite alot of losses.
I know that there are "good" chinese players that dont farm ISK or anything, that play like everyone else and properly. But the majority of what I have seen, have consisted of ISK farmers.

Cause the CPC is a malign and evil organisation that forces the people of China to exploit the system somehow.
The great and gifted Mao must be rotating so fast in his grave now at the abuses the current leadership foist on the hard working people of China.
Well, that should ensure that this website get blocked by the Chinese authorities. I'll spam a few messages like that in game and the server will get blocked too.
So, wait a mo, and he won't be able to play.

You guys are gulible. China laws, which are enforced, at least on the mainland. Prevents them from being on line past a set time limet. Now there are more asian countries over there that dont have that law.
If I wanted to hide the fact, I was farming. I would use a asian name. Just to through you all off my trail.
But truth be known...some of the Best know pvper/pirates...have gotten in trouble for buying/selling for RL money. And they were not farmers...
Free-form Professions, ensure no limetations on professions. Be a trader, fighter, industialist, researcher, hunter pirate or mixture of them all.

You'd think it's sad wouldn't you? Normally I would too..but the fact of the matter is: The reason people think this way, is because isk sellers/Macro Miners for the purpose of isk selling, usually ARE chinese.
Sad but true.

I thought I explained why I think that. It's not because they are from China but rather, that they are from China and on the english server when there exists a Chinese server. I used to be anti pirate and there were some Chinese players that would come get us to help them when pirates attacked their mining op and I'd come help to protect them. Thing was... the only thing those guys ever did was mine.. and for like 10 hours a day? I don't think they were having much fun, so why where they there? At least they weren't using macro's.

Yes the statistics are in that favor. But still, I believe in that any people should be deemed innocent until proven otherwise. At least in the country I live, which is Norway, this is still a fact. I was hoping other people also shared my view, at least some. Ohwell.
Instead of getting answers on lag and packetloss, I got a lecture on bigotry and prejudice. Well, server's soon up. Happy playing tonight people. |

I have never really played on a German WoW Server either, although there are a lot.
My old clan with whom I played Neocron, Planetside etc. was related to an international gaming community and we always had one or the other English speaking member, even on a German server.
When my clan played the WoW-beta, they made some other friends from different countries. So it was quite clear that we start on an international server. Later we've merged with a swedish guild.
... and well, stupid kids trashtalking/smacking in German are hard to stand imho. Think I was there once on a German wow server, heard those kids smacktalking and thought: 'Waah, stupid nub kids, I must leave !' Strange, can better deal with it in a foreign language I guess.

Who knows if those guys are from china. Probably, I guess. They look like they're proud of being farmers, otherwise they'd try to hide it with their names and stuff. Meh. I've seen legit chinese players, the difference isn't hard to tell. More power to the legit ones...
Bastard farmers killed my cyclone when I warped in to tackle though Check their sec statuses, these days they shoot first and everyone hunts them. They're kinda playing the game... still shoot them if they're around though I tried to hold one under the guns and he docked, they're not totally stupid
They'll go back to their noobcorp soon. Thing is, some are almost outlaws now because they farm 5/10 drone plexes that don't give sec increases

i've played with chinese people in a lot of different games and most of them i knew actually did exploit them. just cos some expoit it does not mean the whole countries population who play games does.
put it this way tho, if ever a new 2d / 3d fighting game ever came out the one place i'd love to be is in hong kong just for the shere fact they'll find a load of bugs before anyone else and its better to be prepared then just go in half ready (that comment is based on rumors / how i've seen some of my friends play current / old ones)

I simply don't agree with this.
One of the main reasons I started to play MMORPGs is that they allowed me to play with people from all over the world. I never think in terms of cultural barrier, but of cultural opportunities, to meet, get to know and befriend people living in a country with a toally different cultural background. It is a very enriching experience.
In this, Eve's one unsharded world looks much more interesting than games with different servers for each geographical playerbase. For exemple having US and European playerbase separated has been reason to drive me away from other MMOs, as promising as they seemed.
As for the language barrier, from my personal experience playing an english speaking MMO can be a very quick way to progress in that language, provided you don't spend all your time within a group of people speaking your birth language.

Edited by: Ambiva on 05/12/2006 16:11:37 I am a Chinese Player from March this year,though i know this game since 2003 Im studying in Canada and applying MA in Britain
I dont like the Chinese server at all for many reasons, same for many other people. Besides the connection issue abroad, the serenity overall environment is bad and the translations are not satisfied at all (blame the poor job done by the service provider)
And screw the point of Chinese - Farmer theory, very simple and superficial Every country, every region has good people, and bad guys It does not related to where you born, what language you speak (dont be stupid) It merely related to your education level, growing environment, and personality.
the same in in tranquility, the same in this forum, the same in whatever game community there are people you like, people you dont like
I know a lot of good Chinese players in some PVP corps, and more are regrouping Also, I made a lot of friends from all over the world, whats wrong from those ppl with bias?

Edited by: Hotice on 05/12/2006 16:18:21 I don't see why he/she cannot. Get a GTC, let that person download the game, then start to play! Honestly, Chinese or not is still a person on this planet. Why make race and nationality such a big deal? If Chinese laws stop people from staying online for more than certain number of hours, then let it be. What is the problem for us to accepting another player to the game?! I hate Chinese gold/gil/isk/plat farms just as much as many of you. However, that doesn't make every Chinese an online currency farmer does it? As long as the person can understand the game interface, have friend or willing to make friends to play together, then what is the problem here? Keep an open mind and you might learn something new!
Remember, internet suppost to bring people together closer and build new bridges between different part of the world. What is with all this hate for?!
