LordRyan77 Gallente Ooops Inc.	Posted - 2009.01.13 22:42:00 - [1] I run 4 clients on 2 networked PC'S. One premium one classic. The classic shuts down when taking into combat so I just use it monitor chat and set training skills. So I can imagine how this is gonna go. Two of my accounts are due for renewal in 12 days, I'm just gonna go ahead and cancel those. No reason to wait, I already know it won't work. LordRyan77
LordRyan77 Gallente Ooops Inc.	Posted - 2009.01.14 20:43:00 - [2] My main PC is just over 2 years old but has no problem running 4 premium clients. I bought a used PC a couple of months since CCP lives in the dark ages and does not support Dual screens. The used PC had a hard time running classic. So I run 3 client(premium) on the main and 1 on the other(classic) to monitor chat and set training skills. I don't know anything about SM1,2 or 3. If I can't use the second PC fine, I'll just drop 2 accounts. But if I can't run premium on main I'm dropping all. My main is a media center. Even though its 2 years old it seems to out preform most people's PCs. So I guess I need to find out which sm I am! Forget all this where is my dual monitor support?

Posted - 2009.01.14 22:17:00 - [3] Originally by: mattimus9 i don't understand why you people are getting all annoyed? to run an amazing game on a graphics technology now 7yrs old is amazing. they say that most computers should be replaced after 4yrs due to technology upgrades. to run any new game on a computer that old is always a struggle and CCP have to upgrade in the end otherwise EVE will become obsolete as other games improve. I won't be able to use my laptop but luckily I have a PC and a new PC to be able to take version 3 you can get for about ú400 so maybe its time for you to upgrade!!! Thats all fine and dandy as long as I don't have to replace my +$3,000(+ú2,300) 24 MONTH old PC. LordRyan77
LordRyan77 Gallente Ooops Inc.	Posted - 2009.01.14 22:25:00 - [4] Originally by: Ein Spiegel Perhaps CCP is asking people the wrong question about this. They want to know, more precisely, how many people will whine about the graphics requirements going beyond what people are able or willing to afford. And the information on graphics cards, SM version, etc, is good. Although just being able to support SM version whatever isn't going to tell you if you can get a decent experience. (It's a bit more convoluted than that, especially as any integrated chipset has its own twists due to mobo manufacturer.) No, I think the more interesting question, and one better than a hardware survey (again, just because your hardware can run it doesn't mean that the Linux/WINE/Mac/WarpOS can give you something that works) is why people play MMORPGs to begin with; what makes them more enjoyable than a stand-alone game. Why should I play EvE instead of (for example) Homeworld, Freelancer, or Terminus? It's the other people. If I just wanted bright shiny graphics I could play shudder StarWars Galaxies. Or World of Warcrack. It's the people that make me enjoy Eve. The high learning curve keeps even the ass-hats to a reasonable level of intellect and I've seen discussions in local chat channels that you simply COULD NOT find in any Barrens chat. So why is CCP focusing on pretty colors on a game design that could be practical using scrolling ANSI art (c'mon, people, it's a point and click game; the pretty colors are a distraction from coordinating with other people) or some kind of mapboard out of a bad military sci-fi movie? Work on the systems first that underlie the graphics, and work on the broken personal interaction systems. (Eve Voice still sucks compared to TeamSpeak or Ventrilo... why? And why can't we have audio that people will use?) Of course, really pretty box graphics could sell a few games for Atari... brings up an issue just bought a logitech headset last week, mic worked for a couple days than stopped. was wondering if the mic was broke or just eve voice quark.

If you managed to spend that amount of money on a PC 24 months ago that wont run SM2 graphics you're not really qualified to comment. That said, an SM2 capable card costs about as much as 10 packs of cigarettes these days. And also, 2 years is a small eternity on the hardware end of things. EVE is one of the very few games that actually runs on ancient cards to begin with, and this change will not affect that significantly. Go CCP! More dev time on making things better, less on supporting cheap bastards, hurray! I'm good, I went home and checked. I got GeForce 6 Series. I'm a console man, EVE is the only PC game I play. Anyways back to the point, classic is a selling point for alot of people. Like many I use my laptop when traveliong.

But like most eve players i am a working adult and spend a considerable amount of time playing on a laptop at a airport or a hotel room. As far as affording a new PC, of course I could but my 2 yo main PC performs amazingily. I have no problems running 4 premium clients. The point is why replace a PC that preforms cause one aspect of your use changes. So why am complaining, mainily for the people who don't read these forums. And because my 2nd PC and laptop will no longer work. LordRyan77

Forced Migration works well in some areas, however some areas it goes down like a lead turd and is looked back on with a sorry face and the words.. ah **, maybe that wasn't such a good plan.. Thank god I have PS3, Wii on 50" plama to fall aback on! P.S. I can still play EVE, on 1 out 3 machines. God I'm so happy I only have to drop 2 of my 4 accounts since the other 2 are paid to july.

Posted - 2009.01.16 15:00:00 - [8] Originally by: Hawk TT Originally by: Aleyra Mel Edited by: Aleyra Mel on 14/01/2009 09:56:34 You seem relly happy Hawk TT telling people to just go buy new PC, while you are ok with your uber duper machine. Point is that some people have other priorities in life and EVE is not one of the top. I for example only support SH2. No i dont think im gonna buy a new PC for just EVE. And no i wont give 300USD to buy a second hand almost crap PC jsut to be able to play a game. ight now. The people that without them EVE would have bankrupt years ago... 40 USD for a SM 3.0 AGP Card to upgrade your 6 years old PC and your finances would be ruined? or 30 USD for a SM 4.1 PCIe Card to upgrade your integrated graphics PC? I agree that NetBooks like Asus EEE would have difficulties running the EVE client, but I am going slightly mad when I read posts like "I will not be able to run 3 EVE clients at the same time anymore...I have 2-3 old machines and I can't upgrade all of them"... P.S. My "suppa-duppa machine" is an old Core 2 Duo [/b]1.86GHz w/ 2Gigs of RAM and I run 4 EVE clients all the time. If an EVE player could not afford spending 30-40 USD for a video card, how could he/she afford paying for the subscription? And yeah, by the way I live in Bulgaria - the poorest country in EU with AVERAGE MONTHLY SALARY OF 280 EUR. MONTHLY, NOT WEEKLY OR DAILY! SORRY, BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO STILL USES SM 2.0 video card apart from the ATM machine 'round the corner... Wow, when did that big come old? My best PC is a Duo Core 2!
LordRyan77 Gallente Ooops Inc.	Posted - 2009.01.16 15:22:00 - [9] CCP is clearily doing something wrong! EVE is the greatest game ever! Still I don't know one person(rl) who plays EVE. I know dozens of people who play WOW. Why the hell would anyone want to be troll, and play a game with a bunch punkass kids? For those people with comments like: I'm tired of you whiners complaining about how am i gonna run my 5 accounts on 4 ancient machines. Heres the thing with that, I bought my second machine used because it could run EVE. I signed up for 4 account because both my premium and my crappy machine could both run EVE. There was no risk in buying used machines and multuple accounts because I could always fall back on classic(I hate classic). Last remark: Where the hell is my dual screen support, so i can throqw out that piece of crap and run all 4 of my accounts on a premium PC. LordRyan77

The 2nd PC is I don't have to shift between clients on mission. Dual screen support would remove that need. Mine

LordRyan77 Gallente Ooops Inc.	Posted - 2009.01.16 15:38:00 - [11] $429 $475 maybe I'll replace my 2nd PC with one of these. LordRyan77
