So, is Serenity still up?
If it is, I wanted to know if their version of internet space ships was any different to ours.
Would be cool to know. I know cultural differences can make a lot of Western games go slightly mad, by our standards, when they get translated.
Just look at counter-strike in Japan. Its a FRIKKIN arcade game!!! |

Heh if it is then the kids might be playing less. They'll certainly be paying less. From somewhere else : China has sought to battle the scourge of internet addiction among the youth by giving parents the right to monitor their offspring's online meanderings.
Eight government departments have issued new guidelines due to come into force from next month.
These will allow, among other things, parents to set restrictions on their kids' online time, which service providers will be obliged to respect.
Operators are urged to set aside staff to deal with the project. The ministries, including the Ministry of Public Security, said children shouldn't spend more than two hours a week playing online games, or spend more than $1.50 a month on such services.
Xinhua reported the project had been piloted last year, and have "proved effective in helping juveniles overcome addictions to online games".
Reactions to the dictat didn't hold much hope for an end to China's growing army of net addicts. If anything, the grown-ups appear to have already thrown in the towel in the hope of an easy life.
"It's unnecessary and it will prompt more rebelliousness from the children," one father glumly told the China Daily newspaper, AFP reports.
Meanwhile, Gu Jun, a sociologist at Shanghai University, said the order seemed unfeasible and a recipe for family conflicts.
While there have been reports of children being pushed to the limit in unauthorised net addiction boot camps, the kids have also pushed back. Last June, 14 kids staged a daring break-out from one camp which was only foiled when it turned out they didn't have the cash to pay their getaway driver - a taxi.Typical govt nonsense mmm?  |

I have been told that one alliance currently holds sovereignty in all of 0.0 on Serenity. Is this true? |

Serenity is still very much up and running in China, and last year our Chinese partner through a China-based EVE conference in Shanghai.
The Serenity server is currently running Apocrypha and, I believe, Dominion. |

Why are they so far behind? I'm starting to think it's a localised issue as I notice in other global MMOs they are always behind everyone else in terms of expansions/versions. |

The governement need to go through it so it does not contain any "messages of dissent". And perhaps some translation stuff. |

I heard rumours that half of 0.0 on Serenity is owned/run/rented out by an ISK selling alliance and the rest of 0.0 is divided among the other (normal) players.
Could be bull**** tho. |

Same way Tq will end up sooner or later the way things are going maybe not by 1 alliance but certainly 1 coalition... bad times ahead |

I thought this was going to be about the movie Serenity, and some strange tie-in with Chinese EVE. |

If they are running Apocrypha at least they have a stable version to have decent fleet battles.

So I take it you trust Chinas government to be fair and let anything roll into the country witohut scrutiny? I higly doubt an oppressive government would allow that.
Well, being a sysadm at a danish ISP and former working at a global backbone company. I think you way overrate your confidence in western ISPs. Or as we joke: In China they know whats banned and what aint. Here we call it antiterror or just simply block it. |

The Chinese operate a lot like the zerg in Starcraft. They can also transform their brains into simple bot programs. They even seem to enjoy doing so. If a normal person from TQ stepped foot on Serenity they would think it was only bots. It's dead silent. But it's not bots. It's Chinese people being bots, botting away like drones. Nothing, but mining lasers and red crosses. Nothing else. Silence.v |

You mean they don't have the sociopathic urge to vaporize every ship that enters a system? How weird is that. |

Serenity is running Apocrypha 1.5.1. The next deployment planned is Dominion and Tyrannis together in Tyrannis 1.0.5. |
