I know this comes with flames, but I don't care as it's a feature I am STILL looking forward to, however, the information on this has been... null? Ever since that fuckfest with Incarna, I have no idea what's going on with this. For all I know it's been completely scrapped.

Is there any info at all on this? Are there still plans for player run storefronts and bars? Corporate offices? Gambling? etc etc. I was looking forward to this feature for years, it's initial release was ****** and now I have no clue whether or not the whole thing was scrapped or if I should be hopeful that CCP is going to fix the ****'all plan that came with Incarna and release something closer to what was originally discussed? Did Incarna end up being just a massive test of the physics engine they designed?

If anyone has anything aside from flaming and acting as if you're the only demographic to the game, I would appreciate it.

Personally i would love to have more WIS, but we solo-players aren't that active in forums or CSM voting, therefore FIS people will have the candy... Further reading: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=25586

I disagree!

WiS was a silly idea.

CQs are ugly, rescource intensive and add no gameplay. I cannot see WiS being any better.

If they had stuck with the initial concept discussed, it would be much better than what's currently available and it would add gameplay, just not in the form of blowing **** up, which is good with me. Obviously not with you, but like i said in the OP, broad demographics in this game, believe it or not.

No, I don't. I don't own a Playstation nor can I afford one. So yeah, that's an invalid statement.

Due to the failed Incarna expansion and the rage that resulted from that and various other issues during that time, CCP had a knee-jerk reaction and consequently became gun-shy pertaining to WiS. Because of that CCP changed direction and has mainly concentrated on fixing various problems associated with FiS content.

Contrary to popular belief by ardent Anti-WiS promoters, CCP has not released any Official statement about not adding Corporation Meeting Rooms, Player Owned Establishments, Gambling, etc. What CCP has stated is they have taken a step back and are looking to also incorporate some form of WiS PvP oriented content instead of just making WiS content a purely Social aspect. I think the intention is to release WiS content that appeals to a wide variety of game play styles.

Right now CCP has 5 Dev's, called Team Avatar, working on WiS related content. Since it is a small team and due to them working on various other things such as the UI, Character Creation, etc, don't expect any major WiS content to be implemented within the next year or so. However, they have encouraged the player base to submit ideas and their expectations for WiS game play content in a couple of different threads which is currently being monitored by Team Avatar.

Chatting about this a little in another thread, just additional station backgrounds would be a nice step.

Its still being developed, just much much slower. CCP is focusing on the continued balancing of EVE, and the deployment of DUST first.

I want 2 things from CQ, TWO THINGS!

1. Make ship positions while in CQ static, I am tired of the ship moving away as you walk towards it on the ramp to the overlook (rather the ship position is static, however the ships position is absolute in relation to your avatars position rather than absolute in relation the actual CQ itself so while you move, the ship moves)

2. Bring the ships closer to the overlook that showcases your ship, I want to feel the massive scale of eve in my CQ.

Thats it! Nothing else, hell that door in the CQ that is supposed to lead to the other parts of station can remain closed for all I care, I just want to feel the actual scale of my ship while walking around.

I think WIS should be removed from the game and we can pretend it never happened.
