Half of those people are asleep at the keyboard.
25% of the other half are using mining bots while drinking at the pub.
The rest are new people on a trial account. :p

[Jonax]

...And the ones remaining like to beat on the guys who spent a good deal of time in NC1 harvesting Warbots :p

Seriously, the fact that EVE has got so many players on without much noticable lag is an achievement - Case study research for KK, maybe? ;)

I'm sorry, i forgot what this thread was about...

[Richard Slade]

35% are also playing for free since the EVE devs hire them as NPCs and other stuff..

mineing bots where u get them from
:p

i actually like eve

its slow paced and well its kinda fun

:D

and it isn't as carebare as u think ;)

[Radamez]

I played Eve for a few months.. liked the whole concept but sadly the game bored me to death..

I guess i'm not enough of a megalomaniac to dedicate several months to the game, just to say look - i got a big ship and a crapload of cash!!oneoene

:edit: as for PvP - you will NEVER compete with those that started playing the game before you, simple as.

[Nasher]

I played Eve in beta, for about 3 hours, then I realised it was nothing more than an interactive screensaver.

:confused: i do

and i kill plenty

not quiet so sure what ur on about here as i have even podded some people :D and i got a little over 1 mill SP

[MkVenner]

yeah its DEFFINATLY aint carebear, what with hit n run kestrel attacks n shit...i found it was boring...but i think it'd be fun if u had aload of people in one corp using vioce comms, but i couldnt get none of my guys to try it

[Richard Slade]

Oh and about the lag.
If you remove all info on movement and weapons more or less and just add position and a number on what to show in the slots,
that's what you get...
20numbers isn't much to send (<3byte)

[MkVenner]

yeah i was there when they broke the record the 1st time and there was like no lag at all...took alittle longer to jump from sector to sector and i got a spike once when i was reloading my rail guns, but other than that

[Original monk]

10k maybe a littlebit over the top :) but a good 1000 on a server would be nice allready, 700ish in beta was cool allready, a few hundred extra wouldnt hurt hehe
