For years on end we have watched the eve world change.
Well the major Alliances won't outright say it because, well quite frankly their very territorial and all claim to be the biggest thing since sliced bread but give it a year or two, which yes is a long time but not really when you're referring to EvE, and these Japanese corporations will make a move for null.
Sure its a long way off but I foresee in the future of EvE a radical change of the null sec map.

Confirming changing billing practices was the one thing needed to bring in Japanese players. Derp.

....I think this is fantastic news, first it brings more players to this amazing game, something we should all be happy about but what about the Japanese are gamers themselves?
Gaming is dug into Japanese culture more then anywhere else in the world. We always hear crazy stories about WoW gold farming factories etc......

What's the solution to the Japanese problem?

So how does this effect EvE?

Does EVE have a built in translator? I would like to communicate with our new Japanese friends.

Could the US Alliances band together to counter the Asian players?

Umm That is plain racist

China is the mine gold Farming country where Prison wardens would Force inmates to farm gold so they can RMT trade it
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/25/china-prisoners-internet-gaming-scam
And China has the Boot camps for kids who are addicted to games

Korea has a curfew on games for certain ages and you need a SSN to sign up for Wow and Aion

I have never heard of Crazy Japanese players and the little interaction I have had with them they seem normal.

There is a culture difference discussed here http://au.gamespot.com/news/pax-07-japanese-gaming-culture-101-6177668 but please don't lump all of asia into the "LOL you guys play games till you die of starvation"

Eh? The Japanese have arrived? Does this mean that the NeX store is (finally!) going to carry Sailor Moon outfits and the character creator's 'Body Modifications' section will have a tentacles option?

/joygasm

There is no seppuku in Eve.

Racist? I simply cannot escape you sort of people.

On topic... I welcome the Japanese. And hope it creates solid competition within EVE, and for many reasons.

It is a unfair and ignorant opinion made with little or no research call it what you will it isn't correct.

Ha?
Your getting upset over new players who happen to be from a new country?

Little or no research?
Troll elsewhere.

What research do I need.
EvEWho shows Japanese corps are the largest growing this week - Thats the entire point of my thread.


Pft, you have too much time on your hands to get pissed off at threads.

Wait.
There's russians around and you fear japan? pff.

"How do you kill that which has no life?"

ask north Korea...

In reality, we know nothing and being that these guys may have nothing to start with vs established Alliances with: Cap fleets, Moon Goo, people with fleet experience, allies to draw upon...japanese got nothing but a different time zone and a language barrier that makes it difficult to infiltrate upon (both into japanese and non-japanese player corps) plus many of them will be years behind what the other estabilished alliances have.

So who really cares. Map will probably not change, goons haven't change in the last two years and at best...they just got more asshat immature

Japs are coming, does this mean more AU TZ action?

"Hello, I am a racist coward NPC Alt and automatically conflate Japan, Korea and China because they all look the same and eat rice"

Thats not racist at all.

Gaming is a massive part of their culture.
Troll on another fourm.

Gold farming occurs in China and other poorer countries where labour is cheap and working regulations lax, not in Japan. Get your facts straight.

I bet they go for the Russians first.
They'll never forget the insults of the Russo-Japanese War.

For years on end we have watched the eve world change.
New Alliances form and head out to null sec to try conquer it, yet we always see the same few alliances dominate.

Confirming that the US alliances will drop a brand new kind of superweapon on the Japanese alliances to show the Russian alliances who's boss.

Were clearly ******* doomed.

Dishonesty and shady tactics may trip some of them up at first, but they are steady, patient, and persistant and will get whatever they go after eventually. Should be interesting.

I hate goons as much as the next guy, but goons don't stop. They're unpredictable and have extreme resources. The Goons fight multiple wars at once and come out on top nine times out of ten

Learn to read, I didn't say Alliances, I said Corps, And I said 4 of the highest 10 corps.

So before you fan boy for the current top Alliances, read a bit slower and with more care.

Could the US Alliances band together to counter the Asian players?

What they said: "I think it would be a good idea to band together and defeat our common enemy."

What the translator says: "Band together in defeat? I think you are our common enemy"

Seriously....

Sayanora suckers. American corps would stab each other in the backs thinking that's the intended function of a "good" alliance.
You ain't lived till you been owned by a squad of Japanese gamers. Enjoy your "paradises" while you still have them.

Your stations are belong to US.

i have utterly destroyed many a japanese in multiple games. i understand how they play and act.

I think its cool.

Their sov wars will begin with a pre-emptive strike that will decimate as many supercaps as possible!

what you are forgetting is that although the japanese dont have the biggest alliance but...they are asian...and asians were born to win video games :O

I know this will come to pass, but i personally find it silly for people to band together based on "nationality".

People should band together because of common interests. Language might be a barrier tomany, but still... a game gives the perfect oportunity to delve and train another language.

I think CCP should setup a Russian only server for most of them, with the ones willing and able to speak freakin english, being allowed on Tranq.

EVE doesn't stand for (E)nglish (V)ersus (E)verything else.

Shall we also move people of different races off the planet to a different planet, unless they're willing to undergo plastic surgery?

Idiot.

Ah, a left wing n.a.z.i.

We are talking about a game here, speaking freakin english in local is i believe even mandatory.
Imagine everybody speaking their own language in local all the time, man that would be such a mess.


IDIOT.
