Talk:Eve Online/Archive 7

message: The faction logos that were added into the Races section are great, however they break the formatting at higher resoloutions by adding a huge amount of whitespace between the Advancement heading and the text below. I proppose one of two soloutions to this.
# Alternate the images between right and left alignment so that 3 appear on one side and two on the other.
# Include the images side by side (or amalgamate the images into one image).
The other quiestion is do we keep the Character Creation screenshot or not? -- Richard Slater (Talk to me!) 12:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing as no one has any specific oppinions on this matter, I have moved things arround, I have tried to move the images for the factions as close the the pargraph mentioning them. I won't be upset if someone reverts it or moves it arround again. -- Richard Slater (Talk to me!) 10:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I have reverted two changes in the last 24 hours because someone has edited the article to include the new PCU total (the wikipedian appears to have changed it as it was going up). We should only make changes to the PCU total when CCP or another notable source releases a news item, dev blog or press release release the figures, when someone does spot the news item we can reference the source and change the PCU. I know it is annoying, but as wikipedians we need to provide sources for the information in this article as much as any other. 12:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Do they actually ever release this kind of information, as the only place I've ever seen it is on the server usage graph on the main page of the EVE Online site? - TheChrisD, Halo2Leagues.com Head Organiser 20:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it is released, if you look back at the history of the article most PCU totals were referenced. sometimes with direct news links (e.g. ), and sometimes with links to MMORPG.com or Allakhazam because CCP announce it through in-game or registered user only mechanisms. However if the numbers were not published by someone somewhere they shouldn't be included in Wikipedia, Wikipedia is NOT a news site or a forum for personal research. Any information added to the article should be properly referenced. -- Richard Slater (Talk to me!) 20:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm surprised they are yet to mention it publicly yet..... But yes, I do understand, that even if it is posted in the player forums, it should not be treated as worthy of being in the article unless it is made public - TheChrisD, Halo2Leagues.com Head Organiser 20:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems that CCP has certain internal PCU goals, as they tend to only mention certain milestones for example I remember quite a big thing being made about 10K, 15K, 20K and most recently 30K. From recent Dev blogs they are adapting software and hardware to be able to support 50K, so perhaps that is the next we hear of it publicly. If on the other hand sites like MMORPG.com and Allakhazam both publish PCU totals I would be happy with inclusion as both sites have some editorial oversite. -- Richard Slater (Talk to me!) 09:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The article lists linux as a supported platform ("through wine or cedega"). Wine and cedega are emulation layers that do not work 100% (weird glitches abound). Linux is not a supported platform, and in my opinion should not be listed (otherwise all windows programs could be listed, as wine runs most of them with varying degrees of usefulness). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.197.227.248 (talk) 14:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: CCP are working together with the publishers of Cedega to ensure that Cedega continues to work with EVE, wether this fact makes it notable enough to be included in the article is up for discussion. IMO it is well worth a mention in the article somewhere. -- Richard Slater (Talk to me!) 14:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

message: As the current section on EVE TV is somewhat sparse, I would suggest that we merge the EveTV article into the main EVE Online article, I don't believe there is a need to have an article set aside for EVETV as however groundbreaking it is it has a relativly limited audience. It would get far better care and updates in this article. Thoughts? -- Richard Slater (Talk to me!) 14:58, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems a good idea, the current EVE TV article is a stub, and can easily be integrated with the main EVE article. Merge and turn the EVE TV article into a re-direct. - TheChrisD, Halo2Leagues.com Head Organiser 19:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm for this. It's better to have a user-defined description, it's more honest and gives an insight into how viewers perceive it. spiralJunkie —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Great planetarium (talk • contribs) 18:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
