El Covah LOCKDOWN. HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2007.09.24 08:50:00 - [1] Edited by: El Covah on 24/09/2007 08:51:48 Not very long but at least a little bit interesting. It is available in german only and about similiar technologies with creating single-sharded games (e.g. E-O) and financial applications. http://www.heise.de/tr/artikel/96297 Edit: Fixed my spelling
Vitrael Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.09.24 08:52:00 - [2] Edited by: Vitrael on 24/09/2007 08:53:18 These are English-only boards. Why would you even bother posting it with no translation? Quote: Seit dem Start 2003 hat EVE Online insgesamt 200.000 Mitglieder geworben. WShrend die gr÷¯ten KSmpfe in World of Warcraft bei 40 gegen 40 Spielern liegen, k÷nnen bei EVE Online 400 gleichzeitig am gemeinsamen Orten antreten. ACK! I don't even understand that and I don't like it!
Arii Smith Caldari StarHunt Fallout Project	Posted - 2007.09.24 08:53:00 - [3] Because even though these are English only boards the majority of EVE players are European and therefore probably a good number speak German?

Vitrael Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.09.24 08:57:00 - [5] Alright, so I'm outnumbered. Any German speakers willing to bequeath me with knowledge?

I did not mean to sound like a jerk, it just seemed obvious to me that most of the Euro's on these boards would be able to read that no problem. I am an ignornant American however so it is all greek to me also lol.
Mickey Mouse Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.09.24 09:11:00 - [7] Im european and only german i know is "ze germans are coming" and thats not even real german so your theory about europeans know german fails
Vitrael Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.09.24 09:12:00 - [8] To be fair to myself, 93% of EU students study English in lower secondary level. Only 18% learn German (outside of Germany) so I think I have a legitimate complaint. Thanks Wikipedia.

Lazuran Gallente Time And ISK Sink Corporation	Posted - 2007.09.24 09:45:00 - [10] That's not a good article. It contains lots of inaccuracies and errors, for example it suggests that CCP "have switched to SSD storage", while in fact they only use RAMSANs to store performance-critical parts of the database. It also says that EVE currently supports 400 people in one place (grid?), which is more accurate than what CCP has claimed. ;-) isn't it funny how some people advocate both GTC<=>ISK trades and EVE being superior due to its cruelty and costly losses, when they use the former to circumvent the latter?

fuze	Posted - 2007.09.24 11:08:00 - [12] Article 3/10. So pretty much 'Meh'.
Sleepkevert Paradox v2.0 Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.09.24 11:23:00 - [13] I didn't read the article (i know a bit of german, but i absolutely hated the language when i had to learn it, so...) but i have to say, sharding eve, fails... 1. It's already "sharded", multiple servers, solar systems are not hosted by the same server/cpu/whatever. 2. It takes away the sole being of EVE. An huge unsharded server. Imaging having only 1000 people on each server, that would make it as boring as hell... Sign my sig
Hagen Stein Minmatar Biotronics Inc.	Posted - 2007.09.24 11:38:00 - [14] (Native german speaker here) I didn't find the article to eb that insightfull. Very brief summary: MMO developers are trying to bring their games to "one world" instead of seperate shards. One thing which CCP did with EVE from the beginning, therefore it gets mentioned there. The only intersting part is where they say MMO developers could learn a lot from financial markets/software for those markets. After all, a place like NASDAQ e.g. is a big "game" with hunderts of thousands player playing online at the same time where e.g. lags are big no no, as one might benefit/lose from a lag. OTOH, games like EVE need to implement "intelligent resource management". Problem right now: you (as the developer) don't know in advance when and where a big fleet battle will happen. You needed process in places to move resources from unused parts of the EVE wprld to the battlefield for the time needed and redistribute them back afterwards. Techniques like this are very intersting for other areas of software development as well. Intersting fact mentioned in the article: there are currentyl up up 150 million (I guess database) transactions per day in EVE.
Encad Briht Minmatar Space-Bar FOUNDATI0N	Posted - 2007.09.24 11:42:00 - [15] I think this article is a translation of one i've already read in an english internet tech magazine, cant find the source now directly, but yes, it isnt really a very good article, its more like a scratch on the surface.
Mithfindel Amarr Ordo Crucis Argenteus	Posted - 2007.09.24 11:57:00 - [16] It is a translation of an English article, posted originally here.
Occara	Posted - 2007.09.24 12:51:00 - [17] hate the term "shard" UGH occara mad!
Daelorn State War Academy	Posted - 2007.09.24 12:57:00 - [18] Edited by: Daelorn on 24/09/2007 13:03:28 By the power of GOOGLE, I give thee, crappy translation! Originally by: TEH ARTICAL Petursson hopes that this new Supercomputing cluster permits it to supply soon 70,000 players at the same time. LOL! Lets get 35k lag free first k?
