lol eve players please stop....unrivalled...this technology has been in for years...AO had more then this on 1 server near 5 years ago...sure at first it was a lag mess but after fixed it has held quite steady. I hate AO and not even close to being a fan of the game , but im sick of seeing these garbage posts about eve records.....they are "eve records" not mmorpg records. Please research things before further spouting off,thanks.
Originally posted by Hadesprime so sitting there and watching your hoild fill with ore isn't a grind and not boring ?
Some people enjoy mining, surprisingly. TBH, I've never understood that, but there it is. I haven't mined since late 2004 because I can't stand it, personally.
Sitting at a gate waiting for that ONE npc that might spawn with the key you need for 3 hours isn't grinding or boring ?
Why wouldn't you go do something else while you wait? It's not like the complex is going anywhere.
Spending up to 50 percent of your game time travelling isn't boring ?
I do agree with this one, which is why I hope that CCP just implements a "warp to 0km" option when they nerf instas, that way they can kill the lag they generate while still keeping their travel-time reducing functionality.
Taking weeks to train up one skill so your lasers hit a bit harder isn't a grind or boring ?
Unlike other games, you don't have to sit there and manually grind that skill out. Instead, you can go out and PvP, NPC, mission-whore, mine (shudder), or whatever the hell else you want. I just spent a month training Minmatar Cruiser 5, and during that time I finished the faction setup on my machariel, got a bunch of kills with it, blew up a freighter with my phoenix, etc. Now I'm training Assaul Ships 4, and by the end of the week I'll be flying a vagabond...but in the meantime, I'm going to make some ISK and get some kills. To reiterate: YOU ARE NOT STUCK DOING NOTHING WHILE TRAINING SKILLS.
Doing one cookie cutter mission after another isn't a grind or boring ?
If you find missions boring, don't do them. There are hundreds of other things to do in EVE. Like mining, some people enjoy missions and others do not.
Thats eve in a nutshell. The only fun part about the game is its pvp. The rest is all grind boring and repetitive. Just like any other MMO. At least be somewhat realistic in your comments. Eve has about as much thought given to it as games like EQ and WoW.
You seem to be equating forethought with playstyle; they are not equivalent. The games you mentioned all have different playstyles associated with them, though EQ and WoW have more similarities to each other than they do to EVE.
As far as actual forethought goes, I could talk about EVE's realistic economy, which mirrors real life more than any other MMO economy, or the massive diversity of ships, modules, and setups and the balance between them, but you would obviously dismiss such "rubbish" as mere fanboi-ism since you seem to have a grudge against the game.
TBH, I don't understand why people keep bashing on EVE like they have nothing better to do - you don't see me going out of my way to bash on World of Warcraft despite the fact that it's not really my style, do you? You don't like EVE, and that's fine; just don't try to drag others through the mud with you because of it.

Don't think thats the point really. 30k players on one server is awesome whether you like teh game or not.
It might be on eve and people may not like the game as such but the exciting bit is that someone is doing it and other game companies are going to notice it and prolly try to do teh same thing. Thats what this should be about.
I mean something like WoW or EQ2 etc...with 30k players on one server, with manageable lag, would be quite awesome I think.
The community on this site should really learn to appreciate things liek this regardless of whether they liek teh game or not. Oh and btw, they use some pretty awesome hardware.
Personally, I would liek to see a game like darkfall or Star Trek online with these many players online simultaneously. I think that would be freakin awesome.

EVE does not have a single server. It has multiple servers situated in London. Therefore his point is as valid as the OPs.
Honestly, I wish that all of the EVE fanbois would do some research on their own game. Your game is not being hosted on one server. It is being hosted on a server cluster (meaning more than one).
EVE is a group of servers. A set amount of systems is being hosted by each server. That's how they are able to have 30k players on at one time, the load is distributed on a number of servers. That is also why having 200 people in the same system causes a huge amount of lag--their software and hardware is not good enough to handle that many clients on one server.
As much as I love the concept of EVE, it is what it is.

the thing is that EVE players are wherever they want to be. any regular day there are more than 600 people on Jita. yet there isnt lag unless they are copying bookmarks.
about the difference between one server and multiple server connected... if what you mean is that EVE server is not one computer, that is something we all know. do you think a WoW server is located on 1 computer?
what means is that on paper, on EVE everybody could be on the same system at the same time. probably the server wouldnt handle. but IT CAN BE TRIED. on runescape, you can not even try it. you are on a world, and you are completely separated from people on other worlds.

yeah, whatever, keep trolling.
you know there are as many wow post as eve or even more. right now on the first page there are 2 WoW threads, and it is a very low number.
Heartless, you are a troll, you bash a game that you dont understand.
EVE doesnt have various servers, it have shards that work difrent from servers(go to EVE web page and see for yourself)
This shards are all conected to one PC (EVE PC(Shards) are on top 500 PC´s in world the other 499 are melitary)
One more thing, jita last night had 1k people and no lag avaiable, and 30546 online on the same server divided by shards(dont forguet they work difrent from servers)
The other guy that saied korean games have had more people online on same server, please make a link that proves that, i miself had plaied many korean games, and the one that have more players is Lineage1 and it have 2k people per server.

There is only one Server, everyone is on it, you can meet/talk to/Pod ANYONE that plays the game. No other sucessful MMO does this, they all stick you in a shard with x% of the population, your achievements mean nothing as only that x% know about it. You cannot move freely between their servers. You can Move freely ANYWHERE in Eve (well assuming you don't get podded).
That this server is composed of multiple units is irrelevant, almost all other MMOs are run on a cluster(though much smaller than tranquility).
So name one persistant world where you can meet 30K+ players without creating multiple characters on multiple servers.
Back on topic, congrats to CCP. Hopefully more MMOs will follow the 'one world' idea.

Whoa, whoa newb! Check this: http://www.eve-online.com/faq/faq_01.asp. Read the effin FAQ! Check this: EVE is actualy a cluster of servers. Who would've guessed? Maybe someone who reads the game's FAQ?
To be honest thought, the last time I went to Jita it took me about 20 minutes to get out. With all the client crashes and the lag. Mind you that my PC runs any single/multpiplayer gamer maxed out. Hell, I had to download an addon to make Oblivion look good on this PC because the original looked like trash.
Edit: I'll be honest: my pc crashed as soon as I jumped into Jita.

Actually you are right. Eve uses a cluster of servers to power a single shard and not the other way around like some peopel stated. And if your PC is crashing when you play eve, it is more likely due to a fault in your PC than with the game. I have almost never heard of anyone's pc crashing due to server lag on eve.
The technical achievvement is taht they got 30k people on a single shard. I think people get a bit confused between shards and servers.

Due to the multiple accounts holders, and AFK miners. We are going to have to recalculate that number. Take away the isk sellers, and afk miners=20,000. Take the multiple account holders away = 15,000. Take away the E-Bay sellers = 10,000.

If you didnt notice, this isn't about how many subscribers CCP has. Thats well over 160K subscribers. This is about 30k people on a single shard which is a technical achievement. It doesnt make the game better or make CCP more money, it is a technical achievement nothing more nothign less.
You think the game is unpopular? Well a 160k subscriptions say otherwise. And what is this multiple account bullcrap? Are you saying that in all other games, people only have one account. I know plenty of SWG players who had 5-7 accounts, same with WoW and EQ and EQ2..........the list is endless. Your argument is just a stealth whine about how you don't like eve because it didnt babysit you or provide you any instant gratification.
have nothing better to do - you don't see me going out of my way to bash on World of Warcraft despite the fact that it's not really my style, do you? You don't like EVE, and that's fine; just don't try to drag others through the mud with you because of it.
my point was that Eve breaks no MMO molds. Once you look past the fact your avatar is your ship and space is your medium it follows the exact same layout and design as any other MMO. Eve happens to have people that enjoy the grind it gives as game play but make no mistake its just another MMO grind in which you pay for just like any other MMO.
As far as this new record thats great. But figure this yes the server is a cluster of many machines... yes it is... this is not up for debate its fact. The game is very big and they have no doubt very adeptly looked at where everyone is and balanced the hardware so each cluster of servers gets an even distribution of players. This no doubt thanks to their recent infrastructure upgrades. This is no magical IT feat any game can accomplish this with correct implementation. The real question is can a large PVP battle go by with little to no lag. Now thats an accomplishment.

No, sorry, it didn't. AO caps at about 5k users on a 'shard'.
EVE is unique in that it is currently the only single-shard game that can support 30,000+ simultaneous accounts logged in and playing. No other MMO can boast that, to date. No other MMO has done it, to date. Ever.
That said.... seeing someone post every time we get another few hundred people online simultaneously is getting a bit old and tired. It was news at 10k... it was news at 15.... it might have been news at 20 if it hadn't been posted at 15.5, 15.7, 16, 17.5, 18, 18.2, 19 etc. But now it's been "NEWS" so many times that it's actually aggravating to see it posted.
But try not to blatantly falsify facts, especially facts that can easily be checked.

One more thing, jita last night had 1k people and no lag avaiable, and 30546 online on the same server divided by shards(dont forguet they work difrent from servers)
The other guy that saied korean games have had more people online on same server, please make a link that proves that, i miself had plaied many korean games, and the one that have more players is Lineage1 and it have 2k people per server.
EVE made a record last night Gratz CCP
EVE does not have a single server. It has multiple servers situated in London. Therefore his point is as valid as the OPs.
Honestly, I wish that all of the EVE fanbois would do some research on their own game. Your game is not being hosted on one server. It is being hosted on a server cluster (meaning more than one).
EVE is a group of servers. A set amount of systems is being hosted by each server. That's how they are able to have 30k players on at one time, the load is distributed on a number of servers. That is also why having 200 people in the same system causes a huge amount of lag--their software and hardware is not good enough to handle that many clients on one server.
As much as I love the concept of EVE, it is what it is.
There is only one Server, everyone is on it, you can meet/talk to/Pod ANYONE that plays the game. No other sucessful MMO does this, they all stick you in a shard with x% of the population, your achievements mean nothing as only that x% know about it. You cannot move freely between their servers. You can Move freely ANYWHERE in Eve (well assuming you don't get podded).
That this server is composed of multiple units is irrelevant, almost all other MMOs are run on a cluster(though much smaller than tranquility).
So name one persistant world where you can meet 30K+ players without creating multiple characters on multiple servers.
Back on topic, congrats to CCP. Hopefully more MMOs will follow the 'one world' idea.
Whoa, whoa newb! Check this: http://www.eve-online.com/faq/faq_01.asp. Read the effin FAQ! Check this: EVE is actualy a cluster of servers. Who would've guessed? Maybe someone who reads the game's FAQ?
To be honest thought, the last time I went to Jita it took me about 20 minutes to get out. With all the client crashes and the lag. Mind you that my PC runs any single/multpiplayer gamer maxed out. Hell, I had to download an addon to make Oblivion look good on this PC because the original looked like trash.
Edit: I'll be honest: my pc crashed as soon as I jumped into Jita.

Actually you are right. Eve uses a cluster of servers to power a single shard and not the other way around like some peopel stated. And if your PC is crashing when you play eve, it is more likely due to a fault in your PC than with the game. I have almost never heard of anyone's pc crashing due to server lag on eve.
The technical achievvement is taht they got 30k people on a single shard. I think people get a bit confused between shards and servers.
Due to the multiple accounts holders, and AFK miners. We are going to have to recalculate that number. Take away the isk sellers, and afk miners=20,000. Take the multiple account holders away = 15,000. Take away the E-Bay sellers = 10,000. Humph...nope your numbers have not changed one bit there CCP. 10k players....which 9680 are carebears playing a PVE game deep in empire space. And 320 are waiting at a choke point to kill off any carebear that wanders by.
But really....30k x $15.00USD a month aint nothing to sneeze at....Good Job CCP

If you didnt notice, this isn't about how many subscribers CCP has. Thats well over 160K subscribers. This is about 30k people on a single shard which is a technical achievement. It doesnt make the game better or make CCP more money, it is a technical achievement nothing more nothign less.
You think the game is unpopular? Well a 160k subscriptions say otherwise. And what is this multiple account bullcrap? Are you saying that in all other games, people only have one account. I know plenty of SWG players who had 5-7 accounts, same with WoW and EQ and EQ2..........the list is endless. Your argument is just a stealth whine about how you don't like eve because it didnt babysit you or provide you any instant gratification.
my point was that Eve breaks no MMO molds. Once you look past the fact your avatar is your ship and space is your medium it follows the exact same layout and design as any other MMO. Eve happens to have people that enjoy the grind it gives as game play but make no mistake its just another MMO grind in which you pay for just like any other MMO.
As far as this new record thats great. But figure this yes the server is a cluster of many machines... yes it is... this is not up for debate its fact. The game is very big and they have no doubt very adeptly looked at where everyone is and balanced the hardware so each cluster of servers gets an even distribution of players. This no doubt thanks to their recent infrastructure upgrades. This is no magical IT feat any game can accomplish this with correct implementation. The real question is can a large PVP battle go by with little to no lag. Now thats an accomplishment.
the thing is that EVE players are wherever they want to be. any regular day there are more than 600 people on Jita. yet there isnt lag unless they are copying bookmarks.
about the difference between one server and multiple server connected... if what you mean is that EVE server is not one computer, that is something we all know. do you think a WoW server is located on 1 computer?
what means is that on paper, on EVE everybody could be on the same system at the same time. probably the server wouldnt handle. but IT CAN BE TRIED. on runescape, you can not even try it. you are on a world, and you are completely separated from people on other worlds.
i am still waiting for you to say the same every time a WoW thread is created on the General Discussion. until then, you are a troll.oh really? I can't even remember something positive was posted about WoW in the last couple of months.
but I don't mind a post about a game in the general section every now and then, but we get a new post every few days either another mindless fanboi post, or a "omigawd, EVE has just gained another player!!1111"
yeah, whatever, keep trolling.
you know there are as many wow post as eve or even more. right now on the first page there are 2 WoW threads, and it is a very low number.
why so many hate WoW?
a question to WoW players
but i dont see you posting there saying we have a wow section.
meanwhile, we have only one EVE thread on the first page, this one.
Maybe because about close to every WoW thread is negative? and if you actually read my posts, I said I really don't mind a post about games every now and then. but general section has been seen like a 2nd EVE section "omigawd, EVE had another extra player on their server!!!11" that was intresting news once, not twice, and it becomes downright annoying after that.
we don't have half as many WoW post as EVE posts in general section.
troll on stupido.
It's better be hated for who you are, than loved for who you aren't.
EVE is unique in that it is currently the only single-shard game that can support 30,000+ simultaneous accounts logged in and playing. No other MMO can boast that, to date. No other MMO has done it, to date. Ever.
That said.... seeing someone post every time we get another few hundred people online simultaneously is getting a bit old and tired. It was news at 10k... it was news at 15.... it might have been news at 20 if it hadn't been posted at 15.5, 15.7, 16, 17.5, 18, 18.2, 19 etc. But now it's been "NEWS" so many times that it's actually aggravating to see it posted.
But try not to blatantly falsify facts, especially facts that can easily be checked.
