I think they might as well have one official killboard, since its pretty obvious that most of the pvp oriented players want to use one.

Personally I don't see killboards as an e-peen thing. To me a kill on a killboard tells a story. Being able to point your friends to a kill is a lot more fun than saying, hey I had this awesome fight the other day. O RLY ? What corp were they, what did they lose ? Uhmm I can't remember.
IMO the best solution is a CCP provided masterdatabase that people can extract their data from if they want to.

god no.. pvp aint about killmails, atleast not to me and many others. you guys already have the tools! dont force everyone to be a killmail nerd..
If it's an ISK faucet, then team who doesn't want to agree would not have to pay say Concord for this service.
In return Concord would never create lag with killmails.
I've been in I-N when Enslaver received 200 km in his box. This create lag.
I've been in JV1V when Bob and LV showed their Titan against us. This created lag showed shortly after the combat begined.
I've been at one jump of F-T lastly. I've been not stuck by lag, but literally freezed by it.
So if devs are in the absolute "Need for Speed" program, they are to remove km like they did for bookmarks and jump to 0.
They could do a few other thing like no more markets in more than 1 pod / minute system (stacking) (outside stations. Outside/inside station would be even a better idea, by scathering Jita's like systems), remove bookmarks as items (unusefull now), no ability to spam more than 10 times a sort of item, etc.
Have some imagination, damnit :)

@ Kweel, sure im for removing killmails, but having a auto ingame thing aint going to put more ease on the servers :\
you might not get spammed by killmails and lag using a titan sure, but you will spam the server creating maybe more lag then before by browsing/query information directly from the server and having the server handle sutch a database.
as is now its basicly ingame anyway since you have the ingame browser 
no need for this tbh, better have alliance killboards as now instead of getting more stuff for the tranq hamsters to do.
or did i misinterpet everything? have a tendency to do it once in awhile lol

I'd prefer to see game supplied RSS feeds that could be used to feed existing killboards. Preferrably with a publicly viewable 'on/off' switch so that you can either choose to participate or not, but if you do both your kills and your losses will be visible.

@MissileRus : Tranq's hamsters have made many baby since last year. The overall lag is better but the problems occurs when there's a lot of data going trough internet conenction.
For a long time, there was a CCP myth that said "no, we create just a few internet lag, never client and the server is fine, thank you".
I'm glad CCP tries to evolve for us, I'm just giving ideas.
Say we all loose one ship per day. We are 20000 connected, almost 23/24h. That's 20000 kill mails to send each day, and 20000 loss mails to send each day.
Say the loss or kill mail is 100 byte long. That's 4.000.000 byte a day. 4 GByte per day (4.000.000 Byte/day are 4 gigaByte in telecoms) make 120 gygabyte a month, or (4.000.000 / 23) / 60 = 2.9 kB/sec.
Now what is proposed is to threat a database that could handle a dataflow of (say) 3->10kB/sec, removing the killmail/lossmail formation processes and data transmission. that is not so much a work to do for our hamsters.
All this can be transmited after 48h to another server that could be reached within the client via a new tab. And voila.
Ok, it's architectural. I don't know what are Eve's servers spec, but you get the idea.
I think now the thing is : hamsters are working to forms the mails. Mails are sent but hamsters work faster than the sending machine. Hamster keep working, especially in fleets. Smoke can be smell. Hamster keep working faster. Whoo is this Enslaver by the way ? Something explode...
then Houston (err) Reikyavik, we have a problem :)

I think what we have now is a decent balance. Kills aren't totally unaccounted for, but neither are they touted as a central point in the game.
Think of it this way: if there were an official list of, say, the top richest alliances/characters, don't you think some people would essentially make it their goal to be at the top? It would subvert their normal behavior. The same goes for killmails. Something about an official leader board goes to some people's heads.
I say leave it as is. |

Plus it makes it very easy for enemies to track your fleet movements, which also is not something good for eve, that needs to be done by players.
Who says it has to be akillboard? It could just be a mail verification system where you input a unique ID (that you read off a corp's killboard) and it brings up the original killmail from the database.
This would let people verify if things actually occurred and wouldn't give out any intel that these corps haven't already by posting on their board.

Good idea.
Maybe with an option to chose between show and hide killstats.
Would be really great, not always that 253234 diffrent killboards on 23423 diffrent sites + fakeproof.
