I thought about that. The point is that if you're going to work on WiS with the aim of making it more LiR (Looting in Ruins) then you can easily just throw in bits of stations to walk into as well, maybe even some player interactions. Wouldn't it be cool if Avatars could shake hands? If your alliance was smart you'd have both the players meet up somewhere, and have the avatars shake hands and supply to screen shot to themittani.com/EN24 etc.

The reason to buy clothes is to show off your character, but even if you can't see the clothes on the fighting bit you can sneak in some of the 2nd life rubbish. I think playing games on stations could do with being introduced eventually too, virtual poker or whatever. Maybe even have shops that provide certain services you can only use by using WiS. You can't work on that crap on it's own though otherwise the players kick off.


vince draken wouldn't have dared to break the otec treaty if his avatar shook hands with the mittani's avatar in a neutral location /amirite

There may be plenty of people who aren't interested in WiS content, but if CCP suddenly announced that they were never going to bring out any more WiS content there would be a very large population within the community who would throw as big a hissy fit as when we had the Incarna protests. I already know 2 people in real life and about 10 in game who have unsubbed because they don't see any hope in Eve developing the WiS aspect any time soon.

I waited 2 years for walking in stations (significantly less than alot of people) and I was a little pissed at when we got with CQ, but I still want more.

Frankly, I think a 5 man team is far too small.

Maybe in 10 years, maybe, or maybe if you hire 100 people to work on the FPS parts besides the current team. But ISK wise CCP cannot afford such things so it will have to cut from somewhere.


Although I agree with you that we should have the social walking in stations before we start adding more action gameplay that no one wanted or asked for, the quote above does show you missed something. CCP have hired 100s of people to make an FPS, besides the current Eve online team. They can afford it, its in production. Whats to stop them from using a great deal of the code from Dust directly in Eve?

I'm not saying this is what I want, because I don't. I want a social, business, gambling and industry orientated WiS. But, you have to admit, it wouldn't take much would it?



Nah lets face it ,CCP will forget about WIS ,until there is a new game made by the competition ,that will have it all


Nah you're wrong and just acting like a ****. Please go play world of tanks. We don't need more bitter vets around here who can't adapt. Jerk.

Since I didn't post that I'd appreciate it if you didn't quote me as saying that Blink

Besides, if I'm going to invade an alien infested ruin I'd like to have a massive bulging crotch thanks.

Speculating may not be particularly useful in most senses, but it does show our enthusiasm and you never know it may even highlight a few things CCP haven't thought about yet. If you want loads of speculation, take a look at their old upcoming UI video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME2815NN-Xc ) because its full of tasty little surprises.

yeah speculating does show interest
but we speculated and discussed WIS in multiple threads with devs
We are asked to put in ideas by the devs until the threads were taken over by trolls whining about emotes and barbies
and now to get some output from those discussions ,we have to wait until fanfest
bc it seems that fanfest is a better place to discuss ,then the threads the devs asked for and responded to


so for the few posters above this one , am i reacting as a bittervet no way
am i reacting ,like i am butthurt ? yes i do!!

Team Avatar was suddenly silenced by CCP after a lot of discussion here on this forum and a promise to show what they were doing.
And finally after the silence they say ,we won,t discuss this anymore ,wait until fanfest

It's a shame CCP have stopped taking WiS content so seriously. Like I think I've already said in the thread somewhere, I know a good few people who have quit Eve because they've become disheartened by the fact they will never see WiS.

Back at the end of February CCP t0rfifrans announced Team Avatar and that one of our priorities was prototyping...


When that thread was nearing end-of-life you really gave the impression that the idea had been cancelled by upper management. I'm glad to see the team has still been pushing forward to give us both a purpose to avatar gameplay and a major expansion to exploration. I'm still hoping for an EVE based full sci-fi simulator, even if it takes until FanFest XX.

Don't get your hopes up too high... I'm looking forward to it too, but at current best guesses on CCP's priority list, you're looking at a three year wait.

With any luck though, they'll take the positive feedback from the 'Station environment' fans, and get what's left of TA to work on that in the near future. Though, I'd reckon getting any official confirmation on that'd be like pulling your teeth out.

CCP have already stated in this thread that combat environments will be happening instead of WiS.

Very true, though I wasn't referring to actual WIS (I guess I wasn't very clear on that). I was hoping they'd take that mock-environment they created and use the ideas behind it to re-vamp our ship-spinning hangars.
