I posted it here because there is much comment within this thread about a mass of Chinese players joining EU with the implementation of CE2 and a Chinese Planet. I dont see much to support that theory from within this article and therefore I dont think I posted it in the wrong thread.

Aaaaah... okay

Still, the comments on chinese are irrelevant to this topic anyway, as this discussed uncertainty BEFORE a big change, not AFTER it.

Whatever!!!

But I notice you made no comment about any of your other so called off topic replies so I assume you have an alternative agenda here and I think I have a pretty good idea what it is. Anyway, dont worry your little head about it any more I wont dare taint the sanctimonious purity of your thread again.

when implemented, chinese will mingle with the rest of the world imho. i mean, think about it. If they put the chinese on a separate universe,
if they want to lure them will have to get their attention by dropping some good items, and not this oil and residue stuff (like we were fooled back in 2003). that would definatly create a mass outrage about the fact that they are being fed the good stuff and the old playerbase are given crap loots.
i think they will be able to do this scenario ONLY if they licence the platform to the chinese and let them do whatever with it. moreover, what will stop a player from Europe let's say , with a good knowlege of network comunications and protocols to route his connection through a proxy or something (dunno, might be wrong, am not a guru network engineer) and look like he's requesting access from China?
Sure ,the GUI may be completely localised in chinese, but hey, i'm sure a good number of you would be able to run a build of windows localised in eschimo language, solely based on the fact that you know what window with what contens pops up on your actions.

Actually, I have made some remarks like that in this thread before. Now, I guess I will have to go to the dictionary to figure out what that last sentence means (somehow, I feel it ain't very nice)

my computer is, slowly, falling behind all the graphics upgrades of all the games I play. My sons re getting older so we could use another computer.

I am holding the off on the purchase of my next computer so it will be up-to-spec for the cryengine. I know we already have the stats for it, but things change, and the prices for computers always goes down.

I'd specualte more on the effect the cost of oil will have on the cost of my computer than my computers ability to run Cryengine

Eh... what ???

Its hard to know for certain without knowing just how much they plan to change. But my bet is 95+% of the people who can play now, will be able to play after.

There is no reason a graphics update has to be laggy as hell. Unless someone believes they are rebuilding the entire world from scratch for the new engine. Not a chance they are doing that.

i think they will be able to do this scenario ONLY if they licence the platform to the chinese and let them do whatever with it.

isn't that exactly what MA have done, license the EU engine and let them build their own planets for what ever uses they want. MA have absolutely no say in how those planets are run or if there will ever be travel between them as it's been stated before the decision is down to the partners involved only.

Personally I don't expect to see a link between the EU and the Chinese server farms. Apart from the fact that if the estimated number of Chinese players does turn out to be true at 7 million concurrent if it is only 10% of that they will completely dwarf the current active EU player base, so guess where all the loot would go if they all went hunting. I also don't expect to see China basing their ingame currency on one they have no control over.

As for my machines capability of running the new Crytrek enhanced version of EU should be no problem at all. My pc can handle even unoptimised maps on C***s and stil get 40-50fps unless its extremely badly done. Even if it can't handle it, i'll just upgrade the gfx card and get a quad core processor.
