CCP Games has announced that more than 30,000 simultaneous users were logged into the EVE Online Beta, only hours after the test period began, with more than 200,000 players having registered for the game on the first day.
“It was quite amazing to see the population of EVE China exceed the population of Iceland in the second day of open Beta testing.” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games. “EVE China has been an exciting collaboration project and continues to be so, as we continue to refine the experience to accommodate for the steep growth rate of both our English and Chinese worlds.”
In China EVE Online is operated by Optic Communications, and uses a localised cluster, keeping the game world totally separate from the Western variant of EVE Online. CCP Games believes that maintaining separate clusters is the best way to meet the demands of each unique operating environment.
“The enthusiastic response of the Chinese player community to EVE Online is rewarding,” said Kjartan Pierre Emilsson, Managing Director of CCP Asia. “We believe that our unique ‘one world’ design, great flexibility in character advancement, and social game play are a perfect fit for the highly dedicated and knowledgeable Chinese player base.“
While the game has just entered Beta in China, it’s already available across Europe and North America. Head over to the EVE Online website for more information.
