eddie valvetino	Posted - 2004.05.27 09:36:00 - [1] Edited by: eddie valvetino on 27/05/2004 09:47:23 I'm in a multi-time zone corp GMT, PST and EST. (I'm GMT), I was chatting with my CEO about arranging 23/7 mining ops. While we were chatting he said "of course I'll need to be no your toes, cos most of the pirates are on GMT" He didn't say that they were english, but it does kinda point to that. So I was just wondering where are all you pirates from. Another thing I was thinking, is why have i have not come across and french, german, italian etc etc speaking players? (\_/) (O.o) (> <)
Gariuys	Posted - 2004.05.27 09:42:00 - [2] Can I have some of the stuff you've been smoking? then maybe that post might make some sense. Cause atm I've got no clue what you're on about. You do realize that this is a european game right?

That's why i was wonder why i have never seen any european players and I think you'll find that most of the players are from the US (\_/) (O.o) (> <)

That's why i was wonder why i have never seen any european players and I think you'll find that most of the players are from the US So you've met what, a 100 players from the over 50k that play this game, and you start wondering where all the europeans are? Not too mention the fact that unless you ask everyone you meet you've got no way of telling who's from where. Since we all use the exact same language ( and if I see you using something else I will flame you to hell and back, and so will most people ) ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool

That's why i was wonder why i have never seen any european players and I think you'll find that most of the players are from the US Ummm... Well we have about 25+ members on peak time GMT, and way less peak time in the US time zones. So I'm sure that means EVE is EU only.
Del Narveux	Posted - 2004.05.27 10:14:00 - [8] Well, Im in the US, so there. True, it is a European game, but then again Americans are really into games and such. So are the Germans, they tend to speak English too so I imagine we have a lot of Germans/Dutch amongst us. And, from what I know about Germans, I imagine theyre the main PvPers _________________ [SAK] And Proud Of It! aka Cpt Bogus Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?
Gariuys	Posted - 2004.05.27 10:14:00 - [9] Originally by: chillz MmmKaay. Foreign languages are bad then? Considering the fact I'm dutch, I find this comment a bit strange. Using a language only a select few of the people that read what you're saying can actually understand is rude. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool

But we could use more european memebers. (\_/) (O.o) (> <)

Possibly because you didn't notice them. There are a few corporations out there that advertise a certain nationality, but in general that's just not how EvE works. As for pirates, I'm sure that Icelanders have more than their fair share of them. At least considering the number of Icelanders in the game and such. I haven't actually done a survey or anything, so don't quote me on that. ------------------------------------------- "My main griveance with the Caldari state was that once I had finished my work for them, they wanted me dead."

Alexander Rahl	Posted - 2004.05.27 10:42:00 - [14] My corp has 3 US members, 3 from Australia and the rest from all over europe and to see where the majority of players are from just look at where the peak number of players is. its about 2100-2200 GMT, which suggests that the majority of players are in europe but following the graph on EVE:I the trend is that the US also has a substantial amount of players. ----/ / /-----<[]>-----\ \ \---- Head of House Rahl Warleader of the Rahl Clans "Death and Glory, Honour with Courage, Fury and Vengeance" - Chronicles of Rahl.

Check the server-pop stat att www.eve-i-com. U will find a quite significant pattern suggesting that a vast majority of the player base are located in Europe. ........

Baldour Ngarr	Posted - 2004.05.27 10:57:00 - [17] Bearing in mind that, as it's currently summer, almost nobody in the world is on GMT except the Icelanders: I think it's safe to say your CEO was wrong. _______ "Soon" is an ancient Icelandic word meaning "some time before the next Ice Age."

I don't recall seening an option for BST (Bristish Summer Time) When I first logged on and I think you'll find that our official time zone is GMT!!! Have if there was an option for BST, being English I would have used it. I give up ISD Please Please lock this thread (\_/) (O.o) (> <)
