China has to have its own server because their govt can't monitor all communications in the game.

doesn't that break the whole single shard aspect?

No because its a mirror. Its like a parallel version of EvE behind the iron firewall. There is zero interaction between the servers, clients or otherwise. You cannot log onto china eve server without buying a china account and there is some complications with paying for it too, other than that you can play there if you like, but its all in Chinese, Im not sure which Chinese language its in though. There are also restrictions on game times in China, like I think the government cuts you off after 2 hours per day.

I know a few years back the better part of two of the major null sec alliances went to the Chinese server. They had to be very careful about what they said, especially in regard to politics, I think basically the leader where told "welcome, we love that your here but if you act up you risk getting the china server cut off from the outside china. So don't". And by act up they meant; don't mention politics, even as a joke.

Oh and Multiplicity is another test server, but it hasn't been opened up to us for ages. http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/server_status.php

KALI is the UI test server, so the team on the UI can test all kinds of UI iterations without disrupting the other teams working on stuff. TRANSOM is the translation test server, self explanatory, they test whether the localization client appropriately translates the UI test into words that make more sense than Google Translate. Vertigo is a test of a test server using virtual machine cores as a server. Dell developed it a few years ago, its the kind of setup the game Star Wars the Old Republic plays on.

CCP knows the eve community loves tech stuff and CCP sure gives it. the server is a massive beast with power to boot, so have a read of CCP Yokai's devblog Tranquility server in a shiney devblog

Its a far altered version of eve online. Amarrains no longer religous, skulls removed, caldari are not captialistic, basically just gut the entire lore of the game and you get eve online serenity. According to our latest immegration reports thoguh something horrible happened to sernetity and the chinese based players are now logging into tranquility at great risks.

As I understand it its China in one group and everyone else in the world in the other group. It's because China's Gov't is filled with what could be loosely described as 'invasive assholes' who want all the information on the players so they can bust down your door and drag you off for 're-education' camp when you bad mouth them or their policies in game. China wouldn't let CCP run EVE there without everything being monitored and CCP wasn't going to let China know everything about all the players world wide so they made a second shard for China to use. There only seem to be about 4 or 5 thousand people on the Chinese server at any given time so its not much of a loss. I'm fairly certain that Goonswarm could pick a fight with the whole server at once and win if they put their minds to it with as little as a months prep if that.

Rhadiem Algintal Core Gallente Federation 496	Posted - 2012.08.16 17:54:00 - [16] - Quote I can't believe China is growing as much as it is and still under the Iron Thumb. When are they gonna have their own 1776? Anyways. TQ and SISI are the 2 main ones. http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/server_status.php From the look of things, either the DUST-2012-R4 version is the "to be" version, or 2012-R6-FLORENCE has DUST stuff incorporated into it and the DUST-2012-R4 was a dumbed down version for specific Dust testing. Hopefully the latter is the case, which would mean they're testing the latest SISI build now. But it could mean they're still squishing bugs with the battle mode. hopefully adding filters for game type while they're at it. ;) ps - I love they're running supercomputers instead of some windows server farm.
Ten-Sidhe Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 414	Posted - 2012.08.16 18:28:00 - [17] - Quote One of those names could be the A.I. research. Dev blog few years ago said they want a self-aware A.I. for EvE. I thought, have they not seen the matrix/terminator/2001/rogue drones. There is also a vampire game being made, one could be test sever for that. Some could be internal dust test servers too.

I haven't been looking into this much as of late. I think it was shelved at the same time as the cutbacks at CCP. I hope your right and one server is for the WoD game, that would show they havent given up on it, maybe just put it on hold.
