During last year's Fanfest, Hilmar Petursson made a promise during his CEO presentation.
He promised there would be no more lag in EVE when the hardware would be upgraded.
This is the first and last we heard about it, but in my book, a promise is a promise. So I would like the CSM to inquire what the status is of this upgrade and when this promise will be fullfilled?

The upgrade is in progress, though I'd also love to see an update on it. As for the promise, that depends a lot on your definition of "lag". The crippling, five-minutes-to-activate-modules lag may disappear, but there'll always be some, and it'll always be more than we want.

Count me in on the wanting to hear an update. But don't hold your breath.
As for me, personally, I always love it when the execs at CCP open their mouths. It gives us players solid, quotable, evidence to call them on when they always fail to live up to their "promises".
UNfortunately, I hate to break it to you, but I have been with Eve and CCP since it went live; and I have never, not once, seen them live up to the "spirit" of a promise. I have seen, on rare occasion, them live up to the "letter" of a promise; but even then they are never anything even remotely close to what should have gotten done and/or fixed.
So, take my advise, and take what ANY CCP exec says with a grain of salt. They almost never have the fortitude or the dedication to ever deliver on what their big mouth promises.
Just my two isk from experience. Peace.

No more lag on the internet, lol, you're delusional.
Hardware upgrade requires code upgrade to function properly, which is in progress, as indicated by several devposts all over the place. It'll be finished soon(tm) or at least EVEntually.
Doubt the CSM will be able to get any ETA on it as there probably is no ETA. Maybe some progress news will be provided at Fanfest.
But it can't hurt to ask anyways, so support.

I would personally love an update. Sadly, I have a feeling CCP either
1. Will tell us to go away and play in our sandbox
2. Will announce something at fanfest
Because all lag will be gone by 2008, right?

Who will care about the lag, we'll all be walking in stations don't you know ! 
Better they fix the problems like lag instead of wasting time on shit like that

Is this referring to Hilmar's presentation anout using 'supercomputer' technology to build a new server system?
While I'd like to hear how its going he was talking about that taking a long time at fanfest as they have to develop new technology to make the thing reality. It wasn't just a case of buying the hardware and plugging it in, so I'm not at all surprised that they haven't revealed anything new since.

I was at that talk, and when some bloke from MC asked 'when' this hardware upgrade would happen. . .he said it would take 3 years or so. . .not 1 year.

You'll never completely eliminate lag, not at our current technology level.
The reason you see less of it in other games is they are not nearly as dynamic as EVE. They have far less computations going on in any given combat. The only way you could eliminate lag given current tech constraints would be to dumb down the game so badly that no one would want to play it anymore (SWG comes to mind).
Thoughts expressed are mine and mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect my alliances thoughts. |

The only way to have Eve completely lagless would be making it turn based. |
