A Good Sandbox isn't about your characters abilities; It's about the players ability. |

Seems Christmas has a few MMO's in an uproar. While I'm currently playing both Eve and WoW, I figure I might as well add that I'm happy to see Eve doing so well over the holidays. However, of the 10 WoW servers I have characters on, over 1/2 them have had locked status most of this weekend. Congrats to both Eve and WoW for their holiday success! |

I'm guessing its a side effect of having thousands snowed into their homes from the bad winter storms.
Edit: Well your at least partially right. I almost forgot schools out for the Christmas holidays so all the kiddies are staying up late and playing |

Maybe so, and its still cool to even have 20k on at the same time on one server. Id like other MMOs to have that in the future. |

Maybe so but the majority of other MMO's don't tout that all their players are on one server whilst they can't even handle large scale combat without Dcing everyone and their brother |

Still the only mmo on the market, besides that anomaly that is World of Warcraft, with steadily increasing subscription numbers. So what if alot of them are multiple accounts? Still more targets to shoot at, still more accounts contributing to the universal economy, etc etc. As far as being able to handle the massive fights - well, I've been playing Eve since 8/06 and I've never been in one. Now Jita on the other-hand is a lag fest but I handle that by avoiding it unless I have to. With 5,000 different star systems and over 40,000 different (yes, accounts) players in game all on the same server I think that's pretty damn cool. They claim that they are improving the lag in large battles but I can't attest to that myself. o7 |

300 people in a system fighting are roughly as laggy as 100 people fighting one year ago. That's a pretty conservative guesstimate derived from my experience, especially in 0.0 the lag is very incosistent, because often huge fights happen in systems that usually idle, and the cluster can only react to that during downtimes. |

I was not in Jita one year ago. But today when I am there it is usually around/over 700 people there. And I can't really call Jita that laggy that I have been hearing from people, not compared to any other game that may have 40,50 or 100 people around at the same place anyway. From my point of view. I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention. |

Oh here we go, another guy that wants to use the "most of Eve onlines pop are second+ accounts" argument. Give me a break its been documented that only 16% of the players have second accounts and nopw that ghost training is gone that number is probably cut in half. Seriously Does it bother you that much that eve is a success? do you have to try to derail the thread with a comment like that? Anyway back on topic. Yes it seems WoW, Eve and even games like WAR and Lotro are having a good holiday season. PLaying: EvE, Ryzom Waiting For: Earthrise, Perpetuum |

No it doesnt bother me, I've played Eve since the end of 2005. And my comment did not derail the topic nor was it meant to...its a valid point on the OP's post. |
