You can't start a topic, spout some Chinese propaganda, and when no one agrees with your view simply tell them to go away. That maybe possible in China, but not not here.
You wanted to know why it was so hard for Chinese players to get on the western server? Well, we told you: Because the communist Chinese government doesn't want them exposed to unfettered access to western ideas and ideals.
Don't blame us that the world doesn't conform to what you want it to be. We don't make policy in China. -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |

If those players are like you good riddance.

Thats right... I didn't say you were stupid.
But its not on topic and it doesn't matter.

And one has not necessarily yell "free Tibet!" every time someone says the word "China"... He probably knows Chinese restrictions more than most of us, since he lives there. I believe that in this case he was expecting a different answer than "China is not a democracy."

Actually guy... tho these guys will prolly jus say i'm a lying, commie, pinko,**** (worked good for McCarthy) i've had fewer personal restrictions in my yrs here than europe or the americas and more opportunity n less restriction n biz. One reason I stay actually... along w/the fact that m dirt tired of people who think anyone they don't understand is evil n too dam lazy or uncaring to try n understand.... something i've noticed increasing constantly in the west for the last half century i've been able to pay attention. Grant you... its diff here... but very rarely what loud mouthed westerners make it out to be when on their rants and uninterested n other views. Seems freedom is only limited to them and reasonable discourse unacceptable unless their butts r gettin kissed. But thats life... they will enter a 50 yr well of forgotten idiots by the time I wake up in the morning regardless of how depressing they are this evening.

Originally by: Red Dhalia I'm an american who lives in China and plays the regular server here... bout a year now. I have probs with 'portal management' among other things but hey... I usually get in some good play. A lot of Chinese would like to as well. Believe it or not they are not all credit farmers and a lot of decent people in the bunch.
My question is what is the 'real' reason CCP isn't here making the main server more available? Don't give me the nonsense about China kill people/things or anything like that either. I just wasted some dudes in a Chinese game and many won't let you kill anything till you pay. Other 'reasons' i've heard are just as ludicrous. I can think of a few possibly legit reasons but nothing I think can't be overcome. Soooo.... CCP... why is it so hard for my Chinese buds to play with everyone else? The 'real' reason... please?
Because the Chinese are a future threat to the U.S. Not many people see it.
Lead filled toys.
Contaminated Foods.
Hacking into our government computers.
Selling In-Game Currency for Amercan Dollars(and other nations as well).
China is the Devil. Ban China from EVE!

If you would read back, you'll see that no one actually called you names or gave you epithets. I fact, you started that. You asked a question. We gave you an answer. Then, when you didn't like the answer you started on things like the spurious difference between law and policy, and that China was right to invade Tibet because it was better for them. When we then proved you utterly wrong, you gave us the 'you don't understand China' spiel and called us idiots, and for good measure threw in some incorrect jingoistic generalisations about western society copied straight out of the Chinese propaganda manual. Sorry, but that simply doesn't work.
Look up the replies above. You'll notice that no one even remotely buys any of the Chinese cover-up stories. Personally, I think no one ever has, and outside China, no one ever will. So I have a friendly suggestion for you, do with it what you will. Why don't you just subscribe to the China server? I'm sure everyone will completely buy your 'China is the best country in the world' stories and will be glad to have the token American on board. You'll be perfectly happy there, after all, it's not like they're allowed to disagree with you, now are they? Isn't that how it works in China? We'll also be happy, we don't have to read your copy-pasta propaganda or your insults to our intelligence. Don't forget your little red book though. Although we like it's thumping ability, we find the analogies rather simplistic. I'd give you a copy of the United Nation Charter or the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and point you to the articles about self-determination in the former or article 15 in the latter but I don't have one handy right now. I'd point you to the wikipedia page on self-determination, but I'm not sure the Chinese government would want you to read that. And the last thing I want to do is get you into trouble. After all, if my experience is anything to go by, the top plod in the village probably has the best tea in the neighbourhood. -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |

Paragraphs are your friend
That aside I kind of agree.
Spent 10 days in Hong Kong and Shanghai last year (even saw some random dude wearing a Concord T-shirt ) and found the experience very pleasant all round. Certainly didn't notice any obvious censorship or signs of repression.
Shanghai was an amazingly interesting city - filled with intelligent people who were friendly, helpful and chatty (the ones who could speak English).
I feel more 'controlled' living in CCTV/Chav dominated London than I did in Shanghai!
So cut the guy some slack please.

Hi. I'm the associate producer whose responsibilities include keeping an eye on Serenity and making sure it gets its share of development resources from our team in Iceland. In China we work with a business parter, CDC Games, who is licensed to operate EVE Online, much like Blizzard works with The9 to operate World of Warcraft in the PRC.
We operate a separate server because it is part of the prerequisites that allow us to have a business in China. While searching for information to link people to about the government regulations, I stumbled across this article about how Blizzard operate in China. The summary in that is pretty much spot on. Can't really add much to what is quoted there, except that we're pretty happy how things are developing for EVE in China. We have slow but steady growth and an engaged community and things are going well.

Well, I abbreviated a little for the sake of readability.
As I see it, the Chinese government has two general reasons to insist on a separate Chinese server, the one is economic, and the other is one of control.
The economic aspect should be clear. Basically, having the servers in China means that more revenue flows into the Chinese coffers. A second economic aspect is that having the servers in China, run by Chinese, means you can disseminate the means to do so into your own country, and gain access to that knowledge for yourself. Knowledge is money after all. I see no problem in both aspects as it is, even though it leads to a lesser efficient economic on a global scale (but who cares). Many countries do the exact same thing to more or lesser degree (Russia and her oil wealth being a good example). After all, it's not like the other parties don't make a decent dime out of it as well (otherwise they wouldn't be there). I didn't mention this, because I assumed it to be common knowledge.
The control aspect is certainly not limited to China, although China does take it to a completely different level. The Great Firewall of China is a given, so I won't elaborate, but it relates to wanting to have the server under Chinese jurisdiction. Basically, China is limiting what Chinese may know or read about. It's not as bad as under Stalin (for the Russians) or Mao, but it's in effect none-the-less. It also doesn't cover everything in the same measure. Harmless subjects may be discussed without hindrance, but politically sensitive subjects are clearly and severely restricted. Having the server under Chinese jurisdiction is part of that, in that, if it wasn't, it would be out of reach of censors etc., and any totalitarian regime that suppresses freedom of expression can't have that, now can it? A firewall is only worthwhile if there are no loopholes. If you think of EVE as a rather elaborate spreadsheet and IRC application, and know of all the limitation on Chinese access to IRC (for example), you'll see where this is headed. Sounds silly? Well, remember, the Czechoslovakian uprising started because of a play, the MMO of it's time if you will.
One final point; Note that the economic aspect can always change. The Chinese can agree for example that the EVE servers have provided enough revenue, or that the knowledge about them has been disseminated to a large enough extend. At that point, the servers could be located elsewhere (well not in Taiwan obviously). As long as the Great Firewall of China is in effect however that will never happen. As such, in my view, the control issue is currently by far the more important issue. The fact that it is ideological makes it so.
Is this evidence? No. I don't have access to CCP-China agreements nor to the deliberations of the Chinese government. But it does fit with everything else I know, and so I invoke Occam's Razor.
Feel free to disagree though, because, you know, that's allowed here ... -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |

There is a difference as well.
There isn't a Great Firewall of the UK, people weren't run down in numbers in Trafalgar Square by tanks, and I there isn't a snowballs chance in hell that I get sent to the Gullag for calling Gordon Brown a tosser.
I'm not saying the UK or any other country is perfect, such a Utopia doesn't exist, but you don't hear me blathering nationalistic nonsense either, besides, I have this thing about freedom of expression, I think rather highly of it you see. |

Edited by: Red Dhalia on 14/06/2008 00:30:52 To Hardin... thx for some reason inserted... hard to see so much misinformation taken for fact. Glad I voted for ya
To Whisper... thx for the link and it definitely matches up with most of what I know about CCP in China and raises a question or two.
1) Do you have an equivalent to the pass9 system operating here? And if so whats the main contact point here?
2) I know the pricing is diff but can those game time cards sold on the mainland be used to play from the internatiaonal port on Tranquility?
I personally pay using an american cc. My wife and I are doing a test location cafe (not internet) using some new billboard and website marketing techniques and have considered EVE as a touchpoint for both the Chinese game and the international. This will be a student marketing niche w/many locations once the test site phase is over. I'm very interested in some details concerning info along those lines.

Kinda like what's happening in the US atm?
A lot of people think of China as repressive and an enemy of freedom, but tbh the US isn't that much better these days.
It's frighteningly easy to be labeled as an 'enemy combatant' and have your habeas corpus stripped away. Just like that. No arguments. No due process. No accountability.
No different then the worst cases in China tbh, except they don't have to pretend that they are "protecting freedom" by sending people off to be tortured without a trial

Edited by: Red Dhalia on 14/06/2008 01:41:07 Edited by: Red Dhalia on 14/06/2008 01:40:18 An aside to Hardin... I do know how to use paragraphs. Unfortunately... due to having to stay up till one am to get a valid answer to a legit question and being harassed put my thots on things other than grammar sometimes. I apologise if I seemed somwhat cranky but i'm a good bit older than most and lack of sleep tends to make me cranky.
On Ockhams Razor: It is only valid if you have a realistic grasp of all the possiblilities. The list of circumstances concerning this issue is long, with great depth, and broad. It deserves reasonable and considerate discussion which doesn't mean stating opinion as fact or displaying base prejiduce in the process. Tho I agree with much of the economic and control statements made (partially at least) and i'm a well travelled american I can't agree with blanket statements about the nature of any group\nation\culture\individual that casts them as irretrievably evil and culpable... not even you. It would probably pay you greatly to examine some real Chinese without ignoring their emotions and circumstances. It is the nature of young men with compassion to be liberal so I commend you for that. It is also the nature of old men with compassion to be conservative and I hope you will understand that well enough to give due credit for it someday.
Reality doesn't care what you or I think or believe... only what we do. I hope you consider that the next time you consider making blanket statements about people you do not know.

I've lived in the Far East for many years. Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia and lately Philippines. Most of my early life was spent in Singapore and Malaysia and I was pretty much brought up with the Asian culture.
Since I know a lot about Asian culture, I frown on those who immediately assume isk farmers are Chinese or typically Asian. Yes, there are Chinese isk farmers but there are also isk farmers from USA, UK and most other countries across the world. The difference between them is in the culture, the Asians don't try to hide it or pretend it doesn't exist. They certainly don't feel the need to do it covertly.
Since they have no help from the government when they are out of work (Social Security or whatever), they have to find any way possible to make money for themselves and their families. Quite honestly, I admire their ability to find so many obscure methods of making money, a lot of western companies would do well to employ a streetwise Asian for this reason. The difference is that in Asia, they do it to feed their family but in the West, it's purely greed since Social Security will feed their family.
The Western culture has just as much corruption, if not more. Even bent coppers are just as plentiful in the West. The difference is that the Western government sweeps it under the carpet and pretends it doesn't exist so you don't hear so much about it. As for controlling it... Controlling what? It doesn't exist to begin with
The Eastern governments openly admit they have a problem with corruption but are under no illusions that they could ever begin to control it.
As a Westerner in Indonesia, it was quite common to be stopped by a police officer and asked for your passport. If he says it's not in order, your response is "how much does it cost to put it right?", you then pay what he asks or he could make it very difficult for you. It's a pittance to our standards - 4 or 5 dollars only but that's the equivalent of their wages for a whole week. You both know there's nothing wrong with your passport but you don't want to be sitting in a cell at the local station house for two days or more while they check it. That kind of job goes to the bottom of their list of priorities.
I've also had the same here in the UK. I have been held on "suspicion" because I had the audacity to go for a walk down the town at 2am to get some cigarettes. Not once, but 5 times in two weeks and they can hold you for up to 24 hours on that alone. If you have enough cash in your pocket, you can ask to pay a cash bond instead of being held. They will tell you to appear at the station at 10am but when you arrive, you are told you should have been there at 8am so you forfeit the bond you paid. If you demand a receipt for the bond, they won't take the bond, they just throw you in the cell until they feel that you learned not to be so demanding.

No to sharding but somehow I think in the bigger scale of things, CCP is a really small player and cannot really affect the connection quality from China over to their servers. I am thinking the main obstacle to playing EVE from china is the internet connection, even for the local chinese. There is even a chinese language channel in Tranquility ;).

Lol.. Seriously social services in the west are ****e, sure they are better than nothing..maybe. Its the main reason why a large number of people on benefits end up resorting to fraud and other crime to exist.It was one of the biggest jokes when working in the DWP in the uk, it became quite obvious that those who really needed the money were not likey to get it, or would recieve much less than those who were blatantly lieing or just using it to supplement their addiction funding.
Its one of the more scandalous aspects of the benefits system in the UK that we have a "starvation buffer", its not designed that way on purpose but it exists..In short if you are below the poverty line (a 5th of the UKs population is exidting below the poverty line, thats about 12million out of a population of 60million) and seeking benefits so you can buy food, you will be looking at anything up to a four month waiting period while the DWP look at your case. Thats up to 4months of no income.
For those who applied for benefits when they had run out of money as opposed to trying to get them before hand, thats up to four months with no income and no food. And if you do try to work during that period you are liable to be prosecuted for fraud or just lose you appeal for benefits. For most people in that situation the only real option is crime, we saw an increasing number of claiments turing to drug addiction and crime to gain a better "foothold" on the benefits ladder.We also had migratory groups of unemployed benefit claiments who would be shunted around the country from one town to another by the state so as to bring about a quick reduction in crime and "social problems".

Thats just unlucky, I can only assume you are in an area with major crime problems or that you just seemed suspicious to the police. It would of been worth taking this up with a local civil liberties group, your local mp or even going to the CAB.
But this does not compare to the east though, I have first and second hand experience of their "bribe culture", sure its worse in some nations that others (Vietnam,South Korea and the Philipenes) but when its reccomended by your own Embassy to take cash when doing business in the east just to cover bribes, then you know there is something wrong.
Also in the example you give, the money you can pay in the UK is not used to supplement the individual officeers wages, unlike the east.
No nation is perfect,and every nation has its criminal elements. But for the majority of cases those elements can only survive with backing and support by the community.
As for numbers and locations of ISK trader/farmers, I have not seen sufficent information to form a solid opinion. But given that organisations in the East have addmitted they do it and see no problem with it, they are allways going to be seen as the primary targets.
At least in the UK if people do it, they can be assured of civilised working conditions that are in place to protect their health and rights.

At the end of the day we all know that this is a political issue.
This have ofc buisness implications since chinese gov wants total control, if CCP even tries to says otherwise that would be missleading the public.
Hi. I'm the associate producer whose responsibilities include keeping an eye on Serenity and making sure it gets its share of development resources from our team in Iceland. In China we work with a business parter, CDC Games, who is licensed to operate EVE Online, much like Blizzard works with The9 to operate World of Warcraft in the PRC.
This guy forgot to mention it is from the ground a political issue. And even tough he is an "associate producer" if anyone, he should know it is related to politics but "forgets" to mention it. especially when it is as obvious as this.
I understand that CCP is a nonpolitical buisness as it should, but not to mention the real issues behind this is missinformation, and also looks bad for those who preaches free speach.
Now CCP I dare you to say if the core issue here is chinese politics or not.
A yes or no would do, and put you back in my "good book".

I been in mainland China twice this year, Guangzhou and Urumqi/Tulufan. Both places I could easily play on the "Western" EvE server for the 5 weeks I spend there.
So nothing is actually stopping you. However if I was living in China or even just asia. I would prefer the "local" server there. There is quite the distance from Xinjian/Guangdong to the London area when yopu go over the US. And that means lag! Abstraction and Transcendence: Nature, Shintai, and Geometry |
