China government required that eve can only be there if it was owned by a Chinese company which meant a chinese server as they arent allowed to communicate much outside of china and some other nonsense, than ccp sold off the office and server to a chinese company who abondoned the players as its gone years without update upsetting the chinese players that love the game.
To new Korean players: the rest of the EVE community welcomes you. Full pleasantries may be exchanged at the nearest gate camp.

Wrong again, concentration camps as we know them date back to the Cuban War of Independence, another foul idea brought to you by the Spanish.
Take your own advice and go back to school.

Maybe if you washed your face once in a while that &*^% you call mustache might come off.
I thought Hitler got the idea from the way the US treated the Native Americans? Lump them all together?
The timeline is a little confusing, the US started using them about the same time as the British, there’s also a case for the Spanish being the people who came up with the concept in the first place.
Either way it’s a reflection on how nasty humanity can be.

By all accounts you don’t need a big cranium to contain the apparent void between his ears.

Anyway, Nazi germany adopted the concept and “improved” on it very much. Everyone knows germans are very efficient, and majority of people just associates the name and the idea of concentration camps in such shape as build by Nazi Germany. People also confuse death camps with concentration camps usually, both were build by Third Reich. Death camps were build to completely annihilate people, to the point of whole trains full of people that were immediately gassed and then corpses burned. Treblinka comes to mind, I live fairly near the place where it was so naturally I know about it.

Its on weekends for a month already. Hardly any change in the numbers seen. Koreans usually are good in english (writing and reading) so probably already played the game.

CCP just announced it this week; if it were live earlier outside of the test server, I doubt they would have waited on the announcement. Most corporate marketing/promotion teams don’t work that way.
I have noticed an uptick in activity in some starter systems, and some of that includes posts in local / corp chats, rookie help, etc in Korean. That seems like a good indicator that new Korean players are trying the game out.
My brief research into English fluency levels among South Koreans indicates that true fluency may be less widespread than you may think. Roughly 58% of the population supposedly speaks English, but the fluency level for most is probably not high. Learning a second language in the classroom is not the same thing as becoming fluent in it. Even if it gets used in dealing with foreign customers in a retail setting for example, the vocabulary size needed is not as high as may be needed in a different context.
Given all of the text-based content in EVE for ship/equipment descriptions, mission descriptions, etc, I’d guess that having full Korean localization would indeed have some impact on the percentage of potential players who would feel comfortable trying the game out. I guess we’ll see, however.

the test server has been on VIP, meaning nobody outside of CCP could access it. It came out of VIP shortly after the announcement, unless they let Koreans on the test server before then.

Of course they were alpha characters in rookie help channels spamming, I have seen what happened, and how there was chaos, not very helpful for new players. Also apparently korean players were trolling their own brethren.

Well, initial cut on experience. I was a helper in Rookie help. I am no longer. The Koreans were dumped into Rookie help like everyone else and CCP had not even made a help room for them. Some Koreans did, but then the some of the Koreans in Rookie Help decided that Korean should be spoken there and so it goes. Ah well, Maybe CCP will make an English Rookie Help for those of us who are Korean challenged. But for me it no longer matters. I had recently returned to EVE because I liked the anti-stagnation policies, but the way CCP dropped the ball on the rookie help means hardly anyone can get help without a block list of 350 or more, growing everyday so each group can separate the noise of the other. I am out of here and no you cannot have my stuff. It is all going to the burners.
Rookie help is English only. Someone did create a Korean help channel. No different than Russians or any others who appear in rookie help, when the motd clearly states it is English only. Just like the default language if the forums is English.
