So with eve launching in Japan on the 28th of this month, and the players being on the tranquility server, how many players do you think will be on at one time compared to the 30-45k on usually? |

I already play on tranquility... Are you perhaps confusing different types of slit-eyes?

If you watch the original clip, they clearly say 'over 8000'.
This 9000 thing is totally based on mistranslation of the original works.

The game has a tutorial that gives you a mining laser and a railgun and tells you to go shoot rocks and red crosses. It teaches you nothing else. It's been that way for 8 years, so are you really surprised that there are people who aren't aware that this is a pvp game? --Jafit McJafitson |

I'm lost, what are you referring too?
PC games don't do too well in Japan, they prefer consoles even more than we do. Those who do play PC games tend to be retired men with a little too much time on their hands. This is from first hand experience from my visit to a PC game show in Tokyo. |

Ha! You just described probably a quarter of EvE's demo.

Not be racist or anything but the Japanese tend to be more into video games than most people of other cultures. So we can expect a huge jump in players.
However they also tend to be rather biased against western games and tend to prefer the games that were made in their own country so we might not see much of a change at all.
CCP is going to have to advertise harder than they have ever advertised before. And they are going to need to add a handful of ships that can turn into fighting robots. |

I expect Eve to lose alot of Japanese players when it switches over to Nexon.
Its a horrible company, with a horrible reputation.
We will prolly pick up a ton of new botters however. Nexon is very pro botting. |

They are, but once the switch over happens they will ONLY be allowed to subscribe via Nexon. |

They have a complete different vision of gaming for sure, anyway for CCP it will be a complete different challenge. Please them and you'll get those by thousands, displease them and you'll can forget that market.
They also have many different payment methods we don't use, this might as well cause some new accounts losses.

Does this mean I should expect to be seeing more Achura?
But they already account for nearly 70% of the games population

The Japanese players aren't going to play during the EU TZ, and thus we aren't likely to see a general increase in daily PCU. I expect we might see a significant increase in the number of people playing in and around the AUS TZ though (Japan being +9 and Australia between +8 and +11).
These players are of particular importance to me because they're likely to play when I do. :)

My greatest fear is that CCP is using the Japanese client with NEXON as a test bed for the rest of us. If that happens where CCP finds that NEXON is a good deal for them and forces upon the rest of us, It will be time for me to say goodbye EVE. As others stated, NEXON doesn't do crap for the hacks, and has been my experience that their customer service is even worse than CCPs petition queue. I smartly ditched anything to do with NEXON.

Hopefully less people overall, so CCP can learn not to do business with organizations like NEXON.

Currently Japanese players who want to play EVE must bother themselves with English. Guess what? Video games in Japan are NOT in English, not any more than they are in Urdu in your local store. This means that the world's 2nd largest videogame market is but non-existant to EVE.
So now Nexon is gonna distribute a localized EVE client through their available payment methods. Maybe Japanese and other Asian got a reason to fear Nexon's own games, but EVE is not a Nexon game, it's a CCP game which Nexon just translates and distributes.
It will be good that this works out, as DUST's natural market is Japan too...
EVE residents: 5% Wormholes; 8% Lowsec; 20% Nullsec; 67% Highsec.
CSM 6: 100% non-Highsec residents.
EVE demographics vs CSM demographics, nothing to worry about...-á |

The language barrier is pretty high for Japanese players. Payment methods are a problem too.
