EVE General Discussion

Hi.
I am just wondering, if CCP were to shift their aim from hisec being a heavily focused on area, and instead used those resources on nullsec, would the lag be fixed to an extent?

Just looking at average pilots in space, there are a lot of people in hisec compared to null.
If CCP was to nerf hisec (remove level 4s from there for instance) and more people would move to null, could CCP then concentrate more on growing the nullsec server infrastructure?

You assume that moving L4s would cause people to move out of High Sec.

It would not.

Why would you think that changing High Sec would do anything to fix Null Sec?

My personal opinion is they would be better putting full resources into a eve 2

You have two baskets, each half-full of apples. Now a truck full of apples arrives. You need to fit the apples into the two baskets. Would moving all the apples from the "highsec" basket into the "nullsec" basket help you fit the truckload of apples into the baskets?

I think the best strategy for CCP as a business is to make money. They should pull resources from null sec, low sec, high sec and WH and allocate it all to Dust.

Eve is getting old and makes hardly any money, Dust is new and highly profitable so that is where they should be sending resources.

Nerfing high sec wouldn't necessarily move more people to null. A large portion of the high sec population didn't choose high sec due to an economic calculus. They chose it because they are essentially scared of null.

Living in null is a much more high stress environment, especially if you play by yourself a lot. You have to constantly watch out for gate camps/pirates/roaming interceptors. Its not just about the money.

10-15% of population in nullsec.... YES, FOCUS ALL RESOURCES THERE!!!

tl:dr;
tbh the only thing that will fix eve's lag is if they can get a grip on the old code that is optimized for single core servers. They need to do a huge overhaul of old systems , maybe even a giant rewriting of things. That will do wonders to levitate some of the lag. When eve was made it was made in a programing language that can;t be split into different cores. So that atm is the biggest draw back. At least form what i have read over the years.

No amount of shifting resources to other areas will fix it. if the server can;t adjust things to different cores, like have a system with 23 cores run different functions, at the moment, afaik its one core, or maybe 1cpu per system, or MANY systems.

Now THAT is by far the best idea I have heard yet

I'd imagine the server load akin to a mini DDoS attack, with all that F1 mashing, left/right mouse buttion clicks, etc etc..
