General Discussion

CCP has announced the addition of a new feature in EVE which will prevent access to systems with too many players in them.

During the downtime today, Sunday 21st September, we deployed a new feature to Tranquility. The Stargate will now check how many players there are in the system and deny access if you attempt to jump into it when too many players are present. In addition to this you will not be able to login on a character if the system has too many players.

This isn't the answer to Jita, it'll just piss people off and you have to have a queue system put in place too because when people are logging in they don't wanna have to keep clicking to check and not be able to play all night and the same goes for gate queues too.

However Dumb idea IMO.

I don't get why there has to be a Jita or a Yulai anyways.... why not just fucking come up with a system that doesn't have a center of the EVE universe?

dont log out in jita XD

Being told where you can and can't go during peak hours eh.

That's why I dont play anymore

bad bad bad.......

Would it be more useful to figure out a way to cluster the servers better for that particular resource in question, than limit your sandbox players?  Seems to be more a unwelcomed bandaid than a solution to the problem. 

Come on guys... you managed to get 30K + people on one server, you mean to tell me you can't figure out how to get  a few hundred in one system to work properly?

Does anyone know exactly what the limit per system is?

Actually, they removed the limit today for all systems except Jita.

In all fairness, we're not talking a few hundred, over the weekend Jita had over 1100 players online at one time, that's hard to cope with.

But I agree, it was a craptacular idea, especially the part of not letting a player log in to their character if it was stuck in Jita.

Also, its the players stubborness that keeps them coming back to Jita, there's no game play reason for it to be the hub  that it is, other than its in Caldari space, and Caldari tends to be the most common race.

I find markets in Rens, Amarr Throne World and Ourselotte to be more than acceptable substitutes, but others don't feel the same I guess.

Wow... this is a really bad idea.
