So...you say idiots to what...make yourself feel better? Try it without the dissing...less nerdy and more approachable.
And I dont think you understand what sharding is mate. Eve China as the other guy said IS a shard...so all these arguments are kinda mute. Eve already is sharded. You are very wrong about the number of people playing not being responsible for much of the lag/issues. It's al about server load. All MMOGs are basiclly just databases and disply code instructing the game to calculate and display, not much more. Shard even one time and you cut your database and system pulls in about half to 1/3rd. Lets move past the "Eve Religion" a bit and just have fun. Save the heavy emotions and "passion" for things that really matter in life, imho.
For one, EVE is EVE because it has 35k people on one server, the more people, the better the game play. The only spots that are really lagy are the spots in forge and around it.
What CCP needs to do is get the load spread out to different systems, people need a reason to go there or else they all cluster up in jita / the citadel / etc and lag them down. I am out in 0.0, I dont have any lag, I had none in gallente space.
Also, what would be the point of doing this? Do you plan on having them just split the nodes / servers they have up now into different clusters running different EVE servers? (IE: TQ / TQ2 / whatever). Would they be using the same database?
If so, what is the point? You would still have ~35,000 people on the same amount of hardware, and if they are running off the same database, then we arent solving a thing. It seems to me it would be quite costly to have to buy new hardware to actually implement this. I would rather them spend that money on increasing the capacity of the current nodes than buying new clusters / nodes to run new "shards".
Also, you appear to look down upon people coming to you with hostile words (Idiot / etc), yet you use "nerdy" in a sense that its something bad, something to be looked down upon - is there something wrong with some one being a nerd? Do you have a personal issue with nerds? If this is the case, you need to stop being a hypocrite and telling people to be less "dissing", because I feel your use of nerdy in most of your writing is "dissing" anyone who may be a nerd.
