So with eve launching in Japan on the 28th of this month, and the players being on the tranquility server, how many players do you think will be on at one time compared to the 30-45k on usually?

If you watch the original clip, they clearly say 'over 8000'.

This 9000 thing is totally based on mistranslation of the original works.

I expect +5000 more people from lovely country called Japan! : ) So I think in daily peak, we will be over 50 000 players

NINJA EDIT: We're right now at 50k, lol Big smile So 55k?

I'm lost, what are you referring too?


PC games don't do too well in Japan, they prefer consoles even more than we do. Those who do play PC games tend to be retired men with a little too much time on their hands. This is from first hand experience from my visit to a PC game show in Tokyo.

Not be racist or anything but the Japanese tend to be more into video games than most people of other cultures. So we can expect a huge jump in players.

However they also tend to be rather biased against western games and tend to prefer the games that were made in their own country so we might not see much of a change at all.

CCP is going to have to advertise harder than they have ever advertised before. And they are going to need to add a handful of ships that can turn into fighting robots.

I expect Eve to lose alot of Japanese players when it switches over to Nexon.

Its a horrible company, with a horrible reputation.

We will prolly pick up a ton of new botters however. Nexon is very pro botting.

They are, but once the switch over happens they will ONLY be allowed to subscribe via Nexon.

They have a complete different vision of gaming for sure, anyway for CCP it will be a complete different challenge. Please them and you'll get those by thousands, displease them and you'll can forget that market.
They also have many different payment methods we don't use, this might as well cause some new accounts losses.

Expect another level of war/Gaming, all will depend if they like it or not but if they do you better watch your back Lol
