well, there we have it: PCU on serenity has been dropping since last year september from 8k PCU to 3K PCU.
i.e. 50% of chinese capsuleers have quit.
i.e. its losing money and is a waste of time.
i.e. cut losses and fix the issues with the tranquility server.
sorry.... ----------------------------------------------- "post with your main. delete your alt, you sad little exploiting metagamer."

there are alliances in tranquility that are bigger than the entire PCU on serenity.
tranq is 10x bigger than serenity: there is no one online there. So it's just a waste of money. CCP maintains a China office just for serenity, this costs a hell of a lot of money which would be better spent on the tranq server. The PCU rate has been dropping consistently for the past 12 months: there wasnt one month where EVE was growing in China, ergo it is dying. Business 101: if something sucks and is costing you money, get out of it as fast as possible. ----------------------------------------------- "post with your main. delete your alt, you sad little exploiting metagamer."

furthermore the chinese communist party views gaming much like a dangerous drug: they are currently proposing a popup every half hour from the police that says something in the line of: you no play play more no more! you make rice for PLA now! you go go back to village and make rice, not isk!!! you bad man! ----------------------------------------------- "post with your main. delete your alt, you sad little exploiting metagamer."

Basically you have to learn that CCP is not directly running the game, but has licensed it to a company there. They have put time indeed to develop the server there, but as stated back then this outsourcing (of sorts) helped to resolve some issues in TQ (gave the devs some ideas).
outsourcing/franchising stuff always costs a lot of money. EVE China is no succes, so CCP should cut off all support to the 3rd party they have sold it to in China. I doubt the contract CCP has with them has a 99 year lease or something THAT stupid. in short, its a dead weight.
I'm sure the 3000 eve players in china will agree with me!   ----------------------------------------------- "post with your main. delete your alt, you sad little exploiting metagamer."
