He wasn't a spy, he was a defector. Like during the Cold War when Russians would get sick of the Kremlin's shit, claim asylum in America and tell everything they knew.darthzew said:I really hope this spy planned it from the start. That would be awesome. I mean, it'd some serious hardcore James Bond stuff to charm your way to being a big gun only to totally destroy the place.
This doesn't sound to me like a man ready to quit the game. Maybe if I smoked a lot of crack or had some sort of bizarre obsession with convincing everyone that a game I don't play is terrible then it would, but thankfully neither of those is the case.Haargoth wrote said:[02:11:36] Haargoth Agamar > because Ive been thinking about leaving bob but I really had nowhere to go, I like the guys in your corp so far and wanted to stay

Just so you know - yes, putting our recent raking eachother's faces with claws behind us - I really don't have a problem with people who play EVE Online and enjoy it.Oswald D Grant said:I object to people slagging off Eve simply because they don't like that style of game because Eve is pretty much the only one of its kind. All the other games went the theme park route of WoW/WAR/EQ/CoH where players grind through the content. Eve gave us a game where the players are the content. Is it a perfect implementation of the idea? No. Is it a game I want to play? No. But it's fucking awesome that it's there for the people who do want to play it, and anyone who says otherwise can kiss my pasty Amarrian ass.

Sure. However, what's the code behind the login screen really doing? How is the count derived?smallharmlesskitten said:me looking at the login screen right now shows 50,000 people playinggeldonyetich said:[I don't know where these thousands of players who are playing EVE Online every night are, but apparently they're not anywhere near where this transpired.

You do realise that the BoB thing wasn't a battle... and BoB is pretty much the only alliance to be in that area permanently.geldonyetich said:Snip
That's exactly what I realize. It wasn't a battle because they were pretty much able to walze all those ships out the door without anyone getting in the way because there was apparently nobody there to notice. At least according to the guy in that video.smallharmlesskitten said:You do realise that the BoB thing wasn't a battle... and BoB is pretty much the only alliance to be in that area permanently.geldonyetich said:Snip
Is that highsec space?also the biggest hub is Jita... I have seen in excess of 1200 people there. Jita is a looooong way from Delve

Nevermind, a little digging around and I answered my own question [http://eve.wikia.com/wiki/Regions:The_Forge].
So, you've found there to be 1200 players in the busiest place in the game. Maybe a few hundred in surrounding systems. If BoB's an example of the average alliance, we can assume there's about 70 online during prime time. Maybe throw in a thousand or two newbies zooming around the universities... hmm, I'm not sure how they reach 50,000 players.
Yeah, some kind of population map would be cool to explain that.

Then why are you spending so much time and clutching at so many straws to make the game look bad, Yetich?geldonyetich said:Worse case scenario, maybe they slowly add in 45000 fake players to their count.
