Chances are that if everyone logged in at the same time with all their alts, CCP's servers would melt very fast. I doubt they're able to handle more than 60k playersat any time.


They can and already did 0-o

Technically it's more than possible to have 100k+ people logged in.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

You could ask the CFC to all login, thats like 20,000 players. They might be a little disenchanted with this game though all 0.0 gets is nerf, stagnation, nerf, stagnation, nerf, stagnation, nerf, stagnation. Sad

What it is, is some pretty good ideas to fix mechanics that have been broken for years, but failure to anticipate the unintended consequences of said changes.

I had high hopes the first day or two, but you could see how this was going to pan out.

The Bounty system became the new griefing tool of choice.
The low initial bounty caused an absurd amount of useless mini-bounties that make it hard to figure out who is worth shooting.
The Killrights system has already been gamed, people using alts to get killrights to sell and make a profit.
The suspect system was a great idea, but it's pretty much become docking games and a baiting tool.
The idiot switch was the worst idea ever, cement in the sandbox.

Eve is a great concept, but I'm afraid CCP will never make it into the game it should be. Sad

Well this attempt is so pathetic I certainly didn't bother, since it has zero chance of success. You simply can't do this stuff by posting the idea on a forum. You need to mobilize masses of people, not just put up a notice and hope others will do all your work for you. That means raising mass awareness in advance, getting as many player organizations to support the attempt as possible and most importantly creating incentives and activities for people who participate, so every individual will gain something just by participating.

They should learn from our beloved president and count the people who DO NOT login to protest against CCP: "340.000 NOT login shooting statues, they love us!" LolLolLol

It's in long time players self interest to have a new players enter the game. Thought this would be obvious.

lol Rain, that monitor setup really is signature.

strange how much utility space you recover by running your monitors vertically.


anyhooo... poke your bros, 3hours from now is the start of our traditional weekend peak.
