One of the reasons on and off i have left EVE is that this game is mostly dominated by Euros. All combat in nullsec revolved around the EU time frames. Timers were always EU. Late night US was largely an empty landscape in nullsec. for the most part.


Is this still the case?

Join a US alliance and you will have US content...

It's always been like that. Larger alliances will have multiple content period to meet the satisfaction of its members.

Been around since the beginning.

I'm sorry that us Euros dominate the game, we can't help being fantabulously great

Well, part of it is the glasses.

Late night American isn't bad. We have had some big fights in the last few months, and as was said earlier, there are plenty of alliances with people in all time zones.

We have a pretty even split between US and European players. We still have stuff to do and find a decent amount of content late at night. Find a Corp that is mostly or entirely US based and see what their Alliance is like. Should work out ok.

My observation is that it's mostly dead.

You might cross the paths of that one guy in Vancouver who doesn't have a life but even he hasn't logged on in a while.

Stop looking in my window!! Get outta my bushes!! Bad Herzog!! lolLol

Depends on how much content you are looking for. But its still largely the same in that regard. Some tz stuff has changed a bit over the years but the deader ones still take a bit more time to find content. Again each persons idea of "content" is different in this regard so its very hard to actually say.

That being said like the others have said I think the issue will be a PEBKAC issue. Go find what your looking for, or better yet.... create it. This is a sandbox afterall. Good luck finding what your looking for, but like life most often dont find it.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

I occasionally use the time zone differential, as if I want to do something in a system held by a really tight assed bunch but who all go to bed after a certain time, then that's when I come sneaking in to do my whatever. Takes a little scouting, a little (well, maybe a lot) of patience but that's the beauty of this game, you play it like you want. I don't seek PvP, I like sneaking in, do my thing then GTFO before the local yokels even know I'm there. Although there are ethnic concentrations scattered throughout the 'verse, Germans here, Russians there, that sort of thing, I haven't really detected any Euro dominance ( whatever that is) and I occasionally play in the wee hours (USA East Coast) and there are any number of ways to get in trouble, whatever time you play. Sometimes my plans get busted by a variable that ain't what I thought it was and that's when things get desperate and I actually have to engage in PvP. And that usually results in mission failure as (my missions, not CCP's) as getting out alive is about the best I can hope for.
