As confirmed in this interview

TTH Interview

My question is did you just go out and hire 60 new devs or are you retasking your existing dev personnel away from Eve, again?

It was an interesting thing to be watching from the sidelines, as it were, while at Trion. To see CCP react, to see Hilmar and others own up to a sense that the community has something to say, and that against a backdrop of Arab uprisings in the Middle East, we’ve got Occupy Wall Street, and we’ve got EVE Online. Where else does this happen in the online world?



Hilmar, fire this man. Fire him now.

I don't care how many people you have on WoD as long as CCP does things right and fast. They did Crucible right.

But people are expecting other things in the future. CCP has yet to rebuild the trust they lost with Incarna.

So, don't forget, because we don't.

You know nothing about WoD setting. Don't you, Twilight-injuried-child?

Good to hear that WoD development continues and CCP hiring new developers and staff again.
There is no MMO alternatives on horizon for nearest years besides of WoD, so CCP should start throwing some early marketing bones to us.

So which one of you have better quallies and experience than this dude?

CCP Hellmar... stop running your company into the ground. If you want success today, you MUST specialize in something. Stick with what you know, and do it better than anyone else.

Eve is what made you. NEVER forget that.

My recommendation to you is give CCP one focus, one goal.

Sell off WoD NOW.

Ok, I'm not one of the folks who expects Dust to fail. I think it will do fine. But not that well. Thats just setting up for disappointment.

Specialize? Like in focus on making massive online games?

Comparing our online 'protests' to the Occupy or Middle East movements tells me what a naive person David Reid is.

We are a consumer base that needed to correct the faulty path of the product in which we all invested. They are fighting for their rights of life.

And, I'm sorry but DUST is only going to be selling so many copies because most people have refused to buy a PS3 or has already gotten rid of theirs. Again, a statement suggesting DUST may be the biggest game of 2012 based on naive hopes. It simply CAN'T be the biggest game because Sony is your developer. PC Gaming != Console Gaming.

I haven't even enlisted in the military and I'd say my outsider expectations are more grounded than CCP's new CMO.

Huh? This thread is another potshot at CCP's decision making and business process. You really think WE are in charge of the long-term decision process?

The players of Eve are NOT making Eve the biggest game in the world. Seems to me many are quite content to settle for stagnation purely out of self-interest using a business acumen learned by swapping bubble-gum cards.

On topic: WoD isn't about Eve - but vampires would be really funny if they were unleashed in Goon space - Vampires v Zombies Twisted

I have to agree with the above sentiment.

Using the same principals and tech that EVE has to create another MMO universe is smart... always has been. It's simply the same tech and methodology applied to a different genre.

They are sticking with what they do best in this case... DUST is much more of a reach for them than WOD will ever be. Even on that front, you'll notice that DUST uses many mechanics that are virtually (pun intended) identical to EVE.. just translated into something that will work on a console.

There is wisdom in diversifying your offers while still working from a well tested base... and while troll speak calls it "using EVE as a beta for WOD" in truth sharing common tech for all of their offerings is simply efficient use of resources.

I would like it more that EVE is used as beta and keep that technology for its growth too then that EVE don't get anything from that development.
Some ppl think that if EVE don't get WiS that there will be more DEVs for FiS... maybe few, yes, but they will build that tech regardless will it be used in EVE or not. So... lest use the best of CCP have - all of it.

So will WoD ship as another massively multiplayer single room per player game too? It would be even worse than the Eve CQ experience because you wouldn't even be able to see yourself in a mirror! Big smile
