You dont have to trade only at Jita ,as others have mentioned there other hubs,of course if everyone keeps going to Jita its node is going to get overloaded from time to time,Its not as if you always get the best prices there anyway.Personnally id like to see more hubs tading at Jita levals if possible or close too.Im sure CCP would like that aswellso gameplay is more widespread for a start.

Please stop making troll posts belittling the importance of this issue. Jita is near impossible to enter for a period reaching up to 4 hours each day. WIth the population growing again this issue is only going to get worse. The player cap needs to be increased.


I would be tickled pink if that were actually true. It would force people to properly develop their own regional trade hubs. Smile

Start suicide ganking every non-industrial ship trying to enter Jita. If you are successful Jita will be just for the large manufactures while smaller day traders and ship buyers will have to use others hubs.

This madness has to end!

Every weekend since Retribution was released has Jita(hallowed by thy name) has been under constant distress from all these other "players" that you speak of. I say no. No to the influx of returning or new pilots. No to increasing player activity and cooperation. No to increasing this wonderful sandbox that is sadly surrounded and blocked by other "players".

Reason for this is simple my dear folks; the hardware can't handle the truth! With the population cap in place hundreds of brothers and sisters are left waiting for minutes on end at the neighbouring systems to Jita. We simple can't allow this to continue! March forth towards the hall of CCP and cleanse these infidels of their wicked hardware and show them the way, the way of salvation!

Time is of the essence as the numbers just keep increasing week after week due to recent shifts in CCP release planning. For how long will we let this continue, continue on this path of destruction and misery?

No server left behind!


I have absolutely no idea what your referring to every time i run to jita even on a weekend im allowed straight in!

5% of those are sitting in Jita alone (~2500). Walking in station could be extremely successful expansion considering ~20% of game population (if not more) is sitting in stations at any given moment.

How much does it take to increase the cap by a couple of hundreds?

Otherwise, I'll unsuscribe right after you do bro.

But 90% of them are AFK.

There is already a post limit, but it is higher.

Every successful game in history has ended up with no players. True story. Obviously the only way to avoid this fate is to avoid success.
I think actually it could be said that 90% of them have lost their playerbase within 5 years. But you also have to realize that they either broke the game or there just wasn't enough there to begin with to keep people for long.

The other 10% either gave their game massive replay value, didn't sell it well at first (and so people are still hearing about it for the first time years later), or are consistently giving it more content without breaking it.
