@Fabius Bile
wonder if*

@Dunraven

Don't start.

@Dunraven

I'm just curious...and a bit off topic...is there a game you actually do enjoy? You seem to be trashing games of every article you post on. Or do you dislike MMO's in general? And you are posting as an exercise to make your protest known, hoping to persuade others not to play them.

@Dunraven : glad somebody in here besides me is willing to speak the truth.

@psycros

Hey, I speak the truth too.

@yoyo1

Nexon is already a well establish publisher in Asia. There's not only a lot of localization, but there's also a fair bit of legal mumbo jumbo that would be more beneficial for CCP to pass off to someone else instead of them devoting time and resources to handle themselves.

@Addfwyn

What the heck on your on about? There is cooperation in EvE all the time in PvE and PvP, though more so in PvP. Heres an example:
http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12589599
458 people from multiple alliances cooperating to kill an "elite" pvper in a stupidly powerful ship. I could link more examples but I think you get the point. Just because its not carebear cooperation doesnt make it any less cooperative.

@Addfwyn

Didn't even know sociopaths are big in Japan.

@Xilmar
see: all of 2ch

@Calfis Sorry, I probably used the wrong word. I meant perhaps...non-directly competitive? Your example is still basically competitive, even if it's being cooperative to attain that goal. I meant like in something like FFXI, where there was really no direct competition between players (okay, on the market and in terms of claiming a territory for your country) it worked really well here.

You couldn't be a jerk on a server, because if you were, nobody would play with you, making the game unplayable at that time. The challenge was often paying attention to what other members in your group were doing, not just yourself, so you could probably chain skills and magic. That environment, combined with being easily accessed on consoles, was what continues to make FFXI pretty popular here.

I'm not sure if the highly competitive nature of EVE would appeal to players here, especially since it's going to be PC-only (I can only assume), which is a bit more of a niche market here. I could be wrong, I'd assume CCP has done their market research. Though I'd have expected Microsoft to do the same before failing with the 360 over here so badly.

My apologies for being unclear.

@Addfwyn

You do realize that the point of EvE is Everyone vs Everyone right? People competitive and cooperative at the same time is the game. The end game is basically mega clans vs mega clans for bragging rights and epeen.

@Lateris

Yeah, this is great news. Looking forward to seeing even more people enjoying EVE.
