Please pass this along to Mr. Hilmar Petursson. CCP's CEO

Hilmar; please "Open the Door" to the station environment.

We all love the "Dust Bunnies" but have been waiting a long time for the door to open

Thank You -- Oppih Nogard.

There are lots of strong opinions on both sides of the equation.

If CCP prioritizes on iterating and expanding EVE features and content, and WiS dovetails with that in a way that is not resource-intensive, is feature-rich, and doesn't seem like it's solely oriented toward harvesting microtransactions, I think it's viable.

But CCP can't be seen to be forgetting flying in ships for walking in stations.

Please let us buy handguns with aurum so when that door is opened, we can shoot each other in the face. Lol


I'm telling you, "fighting in stations" will be EPIC.

Might want to turn that into a paraphrase before the lock for quoting customer service.

But I agree, even if it just goes into a circular hall that brings me back to the same place all Moebius spacewarp-like, I want the Button to work.

Put it this way, would you rather

-Fight giant space battles
-Colonize star systems
-Extract rich and valuble materials
-Discover stunning and strange things
-Make untold fortunes on a market

OR

-Walk at 2 miles per hour
-Watch a boring holoprojector on constant loop
-Watch your character scratch his/her back ever 30 seconds

WiS on it's current path is unnecessary and ridiculously boring. It's basically what the real world would be like if there was nothing to do and we were in space.

In order for WiS to be worth the time and money it would have to be overhauled in such a way that it's practically a separate game from EVE. Doing so would divert CCPs attention away from their other projects just for the sake of Second Life IN SPAAAACE which as we saw from the tears and rage after Incarna, few people actually want.

On that note, I would love to see other EVE players hanging out somewhere in Second Life which already has the tools to build interesting avatar spaces. Doomed Ship for example is pretty cool, would be neat to hang out in an internet spaceship with other people who like internet spaceships when I'm temporarily tired of flying an internet spaceship and need a break.

I'd rather open the airlock of a derelict station rather than the door to my CQ, because rogue drones and phat lootz is awesome.

Also I have a list of people I want to lure to a derelict and seal them them in.

That could change with some Casinos where you could play with ISK, ships and monocles Blink Some Poker tables, some roulets...

There will be nothing for avatars in this year. Same they said in the previous year and most likely say again in the next.

Well, see ya guys in 2014, looks like there'll be not much interesting things to see this year.

Boring WiS? No, the same things in space for years are boring.

in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much?

Things like this and maybe some other mini-game type activities would be a great addition to EVE. I would honestly be all for it if I could be convinced that these features could be implemented without CCP neglecting the other aspects of the game. However, I have doubts that they could considering they are working on DUST and WoD as well, and they simply cant stall their work on those while they are in their infancy or else they will crumble before they can take off.

Hopefully, using the massive increase in revenue that CCP has been gaining from DUST as well as the recent increase (or bounce back, whatever it is) in EVE subscriptions, CCP can expand to be just large enough to prove me wrong.

Station atrium, bar, poker room, corp meeting room.

Those 4 rooms would greatly add to immersion, that's all I ask of Incarna.
