Glad to hear a CCP response. I hope this won’t be forgotten after a few months like previous CCP employees’ statements, like the previous one I had posted(An anxious player from Chinese server asking for support) and

(My own opinions in Italic)
Q:世纪天成是否拒约?
Is Tiancity terminating its contract[with CCP]?
A(should be one of those five guys in above picture, anyone recognize?):没有收到任何合同到期和截止的消息，请大家不要多虑，和CCP的工作很融洽，版本差距只有一个月，说明有良好的合作关系。
We haven’t received any notification about termination of contract. Please don’t panic. We are working pretty well with CCP, and Serenity is only one month behind, so there is a good cooperation after all. (LOL after one year of this statement)
Q:欧服是无限试玩版本，是否会在国服实现?
Will the Free-to-play patch be online on Serenity?
A:欧服的版本，目前的情况是，需要收集大量BUG，但是这个版本会有多种的考虑，为了保质保量的推出，要针对本地化的一些变化，所以还希望玩家保持期待的心情，有任何消息都会通过新闻发布渠道进行公布。欧服11月15日上线了试玩的版本，正在观察欧服带来的一些变化，希望以一个完美的版本来呈现给大家。
[Concerning] the Tranquility patch we were currently working on collecting bugs, but we had many considerations toward this patch. To ensure its quality we need to do some adaptation to some localization changes, to so we hope the players to be patient, and we will release any information by news release channel (LOL again). The test version was online on November 15th and we are observing the changes on Tranquility, hoping to give players a good patch.
Q:早上在CCP提供的视频当中，很少有女性角色，这样容易让男性玩家忽视女玩家的需求，增加了女玩家的流失率，所以，请问有计划为游戏设置更多的女性元素，来吸引女性玩家吗?
In the CCP video this morning there are very few female characters[/players], which would make male players neglect female players needs and increase the rate of female player quitting. Do you have plans to put more for-female contents to attrack female players?
A:总体来说，电子游戏行业以男性的工作人员比重偏大，而CCP得工作人员更多高于行业的平均水平，增加女性元素是一个非常有挑战的事情。
Generally speaking, gaming industry had been skewet toward males, and CCP employees had been above the industry average, it is a good challenge to put more for-female contents.
Q:目前的改版是针对欧服，对于国服来说是不符合国服行情，在国服一家独大的情形，对于新人来说很难融入。CCP能否针对国服玩家做一些改变?
The current patch is for Tranquility, and may not suit Serenity. The big blue donut makes it hard for newbies to thrive in the game. Can CCP make some changes for Serenity players?
A:首先开发人员有一个不可忽视的因素是，不同国家的人数特别多，碎片化的势力分布，玩家基数大。但是近期几个版本，已经针对这个问题做了很多的改变，能让小部分的玩家影响大的格局。我们现在会继续关注玩家反馈，文化因素，从EVE的核心和关键，影响整个宇宙的，只是玩家本人，CCP会提供一些工具，但是最终对于这个世界的变化，还是要靠玩家本身。
At first the developer must consider the fact that diverse countries [on Tranquility] had a large playerbase and fragmented. But last few patches had made many changes regarding the problem, which make it easier for minority groups to affect the larger picture. We will continue to monitor player feedbacks and cultural factor. Still, CCP will provide the tools but it depends on the players to change the world [of EVE].
Q:国服的API什么时候能上线?能让普通的非官方网站得到信息?
When will API be online on Serenity? to enable websites access to the information?
A:关于数据，EVE的团队对数据还是很敏感，平时在运营对数据研究的很透彻，在API上面我们都在做相应的努力，升级了一些工作，已经在慢慢投入，坦诚布公的说，EVE对于私有API的准备会持续进行，在我们的努力下不会等太久。
Regarding the data, the EVE team were quite sensitive about data and we adequately studied the data. We were doing some update and already investing into it. Honestly, EVE is working on private API, and it will not be long before our effort.(LOL I don’t think they finished working on API too)
