Is Serenity caught up with TQ now in terms of expansions? Last I heard they were a couple of expansions behind.

Also, can we get someone to provide political updates from Serenity (I'm pretty sure the 'hurrr everyone is blue no wars lol obedient little communist drones amirite' thing is a few years out of date now if it was ever really the case).

Pretty cool. It would be interesting if we got some Chronicles as complete comics rather than text. Not that I'm saying that text is bad, or anything... Blink

This thread has been cleaned by ISD. I'll be taking a look over the report from it, and acting as appropriate.

Cut the racism, the racial stereotyping and the disgusting toxic behavior that has been displayed so far in this thread.

I will not give another warning regarding this. Anyone caught making racist slurs after this post will be permanantly banned from the forums across all their accounts.

We have ZERO tolerance for this.

As a long time eve player, about to hit my 9th year of eve, i'll reply to a few of the comments.

1) Serenity was made separate due to the rules and regulations in china. Its so it can be monitored by the gov and setup so the culture of china is represented is my guess.

2) There has never been a link between TQ and Serenity.

3) no you can not connect to it from outside china. Has to do with the regulations and things. My guess is they don;t with to have outside influences or something.

Now then, the only thing i really have ever wanted to see, and this was shown at the i think it was the 05 or the 06 fan fest was an alliance territory map. I have always been interested to see what alliances there are and what they control, i also offtened wondered if the Chinese all female alliance had more space then the other ones did (yes at the time of that fan fest the Chinese players gave a female alliance space) I honestly would love more dev blogs about the serenity players and there political battles. Its what makes this game so interesting.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

I distinctly recall a long jaunt i took in a stealth bomber once, and flying through Russian territory was actually really cool. I'd occasionally wave in local, after many systems with only myself and my single Tourist in the cargohold (this is for luck) to keep me company. What i got back were lines of utter nonsense. Russian! Cool cyrillic writing! What was it they were saying to me? Was it a greeting? Some sort of warning? I don't know! But it was amazing.
The last time I was in a system where local was full of Cyrillic text, I made a joke, In Dutch. 'Ik begrijp niks van wat jullie zeggen, dus ben ik het er helemaal mee eens...;-)' (I don't understand a word of what you are saying, so I wholeheartedly agree).
I got a puzzled reaction, in English, and I explained the joke in response. They got it, we had a good laugh and we kept on chatting for at least an hour. All the while they where hunting me down off course, they got the joke but not me....Cool

On topic, I think it's a pity actually that because of regulations CCP has to have a separate server for the Chinese to play on. I wouldn't mind having the Chinese on TQ (more people on TQ=better). But that's RL. And because that fact cannot be changed by CCP, I think that from a business point of view it's a good thing to also have an EvE server in China. I mean, it isn't a small potential market over there now is it?..Blink

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

Soooo, at the risk of being permabanned forever. I have a couple questions


1)What difference visually from real Eve and Chinese Eve. (Like in wow they remove all skeleton and what not)

2)Woulden't it be interesting if the two servers could be bridge to form an area of null where neither side can enter
tranquility or serenity but a puerperal battle for sovereignty in between severs

I always though it was sad the Chinese could not join us on TQ. But, at least they can still enjoy eve.
Also the idea of two player created eve storylines is really awesome!
I would love to hear about the epic battles on Serenity, in English ;)

In 2011, our licensing agreement with CDC, which had at that time acquired Optic Communications, was going to expire in July. After careful evaluation, the overall business performance of our partnership and EVE Online in China, we decided that shifting to a new partner would be the right move for EVE. Even though in the end we made the hard decision to not extend the license with CDC, we were really thankful for their hard work to launch EVE Online in China, and their contribution to its growth during its inception years. The operation team worked to the last moment on the day of April 1st, 2012, when we temporarily closed the server cluster for the transition. The whole CCP team would like to express our gratitude to those who contributed to our game up to this point. It’s really our honor to have worked with all of you.


You shut down their server on April fools day??? Lol

CCP possibly had to adjust the game such that every post in every chat would be logged with the IP and account that was writing.

Oh my, this is, of course, utter speculation...

Too bad EVE has to be split up for everyone to enjoy the game.

Also: the non lobotomized eve-search version of this thread is quite entertaining in light of the perma banning threat Big smile

The denizens of failheapchallenge would like to disagree, most of the western players on the serenity server fly/flew under the banner of Much Crying Old Experts, from what I remember of my time on serenity we managed to cause an immense amount of mayhem there.

Here's the KB link, still active as far as I can see (It's a kb for the Chinese server, if it's deemed as in violation of the KB links rule then mods are welcome to remove it)

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Another advantage beside all the political stuff is obviously, the time dilitation. At the downtime around 10 o´clock UTC it is whath time in China 8 o´clock in the evening? I think that should be the peak time for playing, I am really courious how the other player in Eastern Asia or Australia and Pacific deal with it.

Here are some tasty tidbits:

" It is not out of the realm of possibility that someday soon, the population of Serenity might exceed the current population of Tranquility…"

"Additionally, TianCity, the EVE China team, and the Chinese EVE player base have some great ideas (as do our players in the West), and they now have a more direct path to sharing those ideas with our gameplay teams so that we can implement the best of these ideas for all EVE players in the world, regardless of what server they play on."

Well, I guess CCP knows who signs their proverbial paycheck ... "someday soon" anyways.

It's funny how all the alleged good ideas from the "Western" player base get regualrly ignored. Just saying.

In all honesty, I think this is great !!! I welcome our Chinese compatriots on Serenity!!! If the result is that great player driven ideas are actually listened to and implemented, then I'm all for it.
