As for not having a US content creation team to cover the US side of things, that I can understand. Of course, someone has mentioned that they DO have one and it's apparently not covering the US side of things anyway.

So lets create a team and some paid positions for something they do like twice a year Roll

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this happened more often. Maybe if they had some paid positions and a team they would? I don't know.

CCP is racist against Americans, all Americans including out 51st State (Canuckistan).

i say that because an hour ago a buddy of mine from Toronto was on comms screaming "it's NORTH AMERICAN Time Zone, the U.S. isn't the only country in North America!" To which I replied "Yes, yes it is the only real country in North America". I got awoxxed shortly there after, I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice.

This is not true. Smile

The Content Team for EVE Online is based in Reykjavik, Iceland, at our headquarters, as such those involved with live events operate on UTC.

While we're looking at ways to expand to cover all timezones, we need to be able to factor in that the vast majority of these events are hosted during people's free time, in hours after work, and we need volunteers from within the company to come fly with us.

As such, we're not in a position right now where we can run live events off UTC timezone hours. We are however looking at ways in which we can do so in future.



wait i saw a video of people flying around usb rifters even dureing your work hours. Shocked

I'm just sad that I miss out on everything. Tears, tears.

Mostly I wanted to learn about all the newbie stuff you were teaching.

I didn't realize it was just policy, I thought it was just coincidence.

Now I know better and not to expect much. I'll make my own content, after hours.

Oh come on.... You dont need a whole separate team -- you can use the same folk - just pay them a couple of hours of overtime so they will stay late one night.....

But then the AUS and the Kiwis would be bitching along with the RUS. Do you see the problems of an international game? Really there is no problem but y'all are wanting the game to conform to you rather than you staying up late or getting up early to attend something thats following an international (UTC) standardized timezone.

Of course these events are outside your TZ, this is to train new players to alarm clock.

Actually, This is the first event I might be able to make. West Coast US but work weekends and nights. Just have to wait a bit to check in and see if I have any work early.

Thats funny I seem to remember in every single other game ive ever played everything only being run in the USTZ and no americans were complaining it was unfair then.

AUTZ gets practically nothing in any game and we've learn't to deal with it. And no just because this event is happening 3-5am doesn't mean we can get up either.

Thankfully im in the US for another month and can actually attend this but ive probably missed out on more things then any of you in the thread so hush and leave CCP alone

I haven't looked at the demographics lately.
Are the majority of players still European, or have we "Colonists" taken over, yet?

When I use to work nights 6PM-3AM [-5 GMT] I could join at live events.

How about those in Australia?

Pretty sure during the pre-Odyssey devroams (where they made like 3 roams in 24 hours) there were US TC roams.

It's shames me greatly to play video games with the Redcoat Imperialist Minions of King George III , but EVE has spaceships so meh.

You guys are a game company. Furthermore that game is Eve online. Staying up at strange hours to play video games is pretty standard for both Eve and for employees of a game company.
