Did CCP just prove they are a failure at the single shard universe?

Just because it is stupid, and it is, does not make it untrue.

I just can't believe all the whining, when CCP announced exactly what the population cap would be.

What did you expect ?....with a playerbase of ~500,000 ?

Again, as if there won't be a next time.



edit: Also, as if there aren't enough opportunities for PvP anyway. Is there a sudden lack ? I think not.

Why would you hold a live event, then prevent most people from being involved?

If you really can't provide the level of equipment needed to actually allow players to play the game, then you have failed at this idea...

Of course a sharded universe in EvE would probably be even a bigger failure, so maybe you should invest in equipment that can actually provide the service you claim to?


If you want it so bad maybe you should grow some brains and invent the currently non-existent server tech yourself.

Actually, I'm not sure I care if they fix it. I play this game so little these days. Of course the time I choose to try something new, it turns into a total joke...Lol

And if you actually think they are pro, and competent, ask yourself why they would introduce code that effectively reduced the system cap in Jita from 2700 to 2000?
If you want to argue with me, come up with an actual argument, and try not to embarrass yourself with childish insults.


I've been hoping for years the CCP would hire some competent programmers and fix some of the many problems with the game. Clearly that is not going to happen.
CCP is screwing up the game, and is forced to push Alts for income. This is because they simply don't know how to gain new subscribers, or keep them. They treat there customer base like a bunch of mentally deficient kids, and simply don't care if you like what they do or not.
Now, considering the current customer base, they may have reason for this attitude, but it's not going to help in the long run. Nor will help help retain customers..

Perhaps the only hope is that they get bought out....hopefully not by EA....

I don't know.

They announced after some survey results that after 3 years, players tend to not quit, and that goes for me (in fact today is Krixtal's 3rd Birthday!).

If it comes down to EA though, I'll just put myself out of my misery. They already killed SimCity for me, but that's a whole other thread.

More a case of showing how INFLEXIBLE current game mechanics are when considering the need to put on a grandiose "dog and pony" show... can't blame this one on the Thorrablot.

In regards to the issue of current technology not being good enough. I wonder this is being planned for use within CCP's server setup.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03/18/nvidia_continuum_pyhton_on_cuda_gpu/ Idea

Added with the eventual release of the future 'Volta' GPU & its 1TB/s memory bandwidth
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03/19/nvidia_gpu_roadmap_computing_update/ Shocked

Eve should get a major kick in the pants when it comes to its ability to concurrently process much larger numbers of players per system with this tech in it's servers. Lol

Are sure its capped at 2k... pretty sure I have been to Jita a number of times in the last few weeks and have seen local in around 2.2k

Also proof would be nice that this indeed has happened.. you know, stuff like Dev blogs, a forum thread perhaps where a Dev has stated this.[/quote]

Are you sure.. so far they seem to be doing a good job on many things such as Ship rebalancing, UI Improvements, Inventory Improvements etc.

If you are such a good programmer why don't you apply for a position at CCP and show them how its done :)

I know many people who play Eve with only one account and have managed quite nicely. If you want another account its not because YOU HAVE to have one, its because you choose to have one.

Well considering they have more subs now then ever that kind of kills your arguments.

Really... hmm all my experiences with CCP Employees over the last 4 years have been very pleasant and helpful. Can you please give examples of where CCP are treating their customer base as you put it "bunch of mentally deficient kids"

I must admit you do sound terrible butthurt. Was somebody nasty to you?

Large numbers of players queuing to get into Luminare? please tell me someone thought to bring a few battleships and a handful of smartbombs Twisted

Two of the defining characteristics of a carebear are wanting other players to play the way the carebear wants and whining on the forums for the game to change when they don't. Yet I see more threads on these forums from gankers than I do miners whining about wanting the game changed to suit them.
