Does anyone play Eve?

No, there aren't SA servers. Having a completely separate gaming world for South Africa would be pointless, and I think the high international latencies involved would complicated having the servers linked to the "rest of the servers". I don't think it would be that bad playing EVE internationally with MyWireless though. It's quite low bandwidth, and it's not as latency-sensisitive as a first-person shooter (although high latencies still suck).

Hmm... as far as the beta goes... I think they were running the servers in Iceland for most of the beta period; they only installed servers in England towards the end.

Wonder why they tested it in iceland prbly overclocked the poor servers to handle the load and every hour when they overheated just put em on the closest iceberg
.
so eve is kinda out cause i hate playing a online game with high latencies
what local mmorpg are playing here in sa i wonder?

New service by Telkom broadband speeds up to 5kbps for only R1k a month. heheh
 
You don't notice the latency in EVE all that much, depending on what you're doing; if you're just flying around, or buying stuff, or whatever, then the fact that your operations only ACTUALLY take effect 500ms latency is not something you notice. You're at a disadvantage in combat, though.

As far as Iceland goes, that's quite simple; the EVE developers (CCP) are located in Iceland.

08/21/2003 - That is when I started this thread - LOL

I totally forgot about it, I am still playing Eve (have 6 accounts in the house) we run 4 simultaneously over ADSL - My MyWireless now has a patch antennae (which I bought in the hope that it works) and it gives me 1% signal - LOL

Will fiddle with the antennae a bit more tomorrow, but to you Eve players out there in SA contact me... My details are here or contact me ingame (I am CEO of Carbide Industries and Content Manager at www.eve-i.com)
