I love hearing Americans complain about lag.
You don't know what lag is until you've played on a crappy, Outback Australian internet link.

Seriously, cry me a river.

Why, you crying, bro? Don't cryyyy, bro Sad it'll be alright Smile
I've played on Aussie servers, and a lot of Aussies play on US/West Coast server, PVP too. It's why I mentioned US/Pacific. It's a hell of a lot better idea than wiping the London server, which would cause a lot of long time players to walk away from EVE for good. Usually though, these suggestion seem to come from people bored with WoW and see EVE as a game they are way behind on so want it wiped for their own enjoyment, at least until the next WoW expansion when they become less bored anyway.

edit: or maybe in this case NC getting whooped as suggested by the CODE guy +1
I mean looki, hardly ever see NC post in GD, then suddenly a bunch of them into a thread agreeing with one another on a reset. NC just get exterminated or something?

Only console games have reset buttons P

Yeah no way do I want to spend the months of training basic skills again. The assets might not be as bad

It wouldn't actually change anything, except making everyone obsess over the skill queues for a year or so.

So that would be a lot of annoyance for next to zero gain.

so if you don't like us, and you think you are correct, shouldn't you vote yes ?


I don't like or dislike you at all, I am completely impartial to NCDot. I'm just remembering the epic beatdown we gave you in Khanid lowsec with half your numbers ^_^

Yes, a lot of Aussies play on US based servers, mostly because we have very few dedicated games servers in Australia that aren't Counter Strike or Call of Duty.

And again, we lag on those US servers horribly compared to the lag you get. We just learn to deal with it.

hmmm... I don't know about that Mr. forum alt. I use to do really well even on dial-up to AUS servers, yes haha mostly playing CS. As for lately, I played a bit of GW2 at launch (since I played GW1) which has it's server in California, and there are a ton of people playing from Australia. A couple in our guild (now deceased guild of course as is the game) and really had no big issues with the server, nothing more than the rest of us had. We'd WvW a lot, they always kept up, maybe they lied and were not really from AUS? Our Pac connections are usually OK, just like I played UO on the Pac server, lots of Australians among the rest.

As for myself, I'm not complaining if that's how you are taking it, but I know a lot of people won't deal with it, especially in a pvp setting. But for some really odd reason, CCP puts a server in China breaking their 1 server thingy, while the money would seem to be in US/Pac. I just see it as a good business move, or would have been, certainly better than a server wipe, Mr. Alt.

No, it shouldn't be reset. But I would like the new stargates to be limited to rookie ships to prevent significant asset transfer to the new space.

That's hype, especially since we are not all together. I've already mentioned this a couple times. Serenity was a terrible idea, at least for the 1 server hype. Increasing subscriptions and making money is always a good idea. But won't happen.


Doesn't Serenity exist solely because of politics, not because CCP had no desire to keep the 1 server thing going?

This.

China pretty much don't let foreign companies do anything in their country without a Chinese based sponsor/front. Everyone in China has to go through the Chinese version of the company for political/tax reasons, so for games this means they have their own servers. This is also roughly the same reason why Google, Facebook and a whole range of other common online businesses are blocked in China.

Pretty sure CCP would love to have China join the rest of TQ but just can't for legal reasons in some regions (ie political reasons).

As an AU player I'd love to see how it would change up the TZ if we had China join TQ.

And that's a good business decision somehow? Like I said, CCP seems to go out of the way to hit the small dysfunctional markets with little return on their games (e.g ps3, oculus etc). This is why it never happened, some kind of odd business logic.

As for China and politics, I really don't want to comment. I don't want to get any of the Chinese people in trouble drawing them into such discussions. Going missing one day or something. I always have wondered if things could have been better for them if Western business had done things differently rather than to adapt. Even if that meant in this case really just one server.

Reset assets and isk, maybe.

Reset skill points, bad idea.

Note: Reset all skills may be fine, but not skill points.

It would be a bad idea regardless. In no version of a reset does the population of the server go up.

I personally would still play but how is a reset fair to people that may have invested so much of their lives into the game?

Me being ok with it may be skewed becaise I frequently start over just to meet and or steal from new people.

I am just here to snuggle and do spy stuff.
