I must say I'm relatively optimistic regarding this. Incarna is shelved, for now, but not forever.

WoD development continues, at a slower pace, though. It has been decoupled from EVE too, so no more WoD feature tests in EVE. Once they have the WoD (multiplayer) engine working and Dust in the market, I'm sure they will revisit Incarna and add value and content to it. Not next year, but within a couple of years we may see a new Incarna release. Just my two cents.

I also liked the walking in station feature and was looking forward to it being expanded into the point where other characters could be in the same location. I'm disappointed if this is not going to be further developed.
People whining about the Nex store in the same breath as the WiS feature don't seem to undertand that these are two completely seperatable components that happened to be introduced at the same time. You don't have to buy anything from the Nex store, you now have your "ship spinning" back (where the ship doesn't actually spin, the camera view does), so you can pretend Eve is exactly like it was before the Incarna expansion if you want.
People bang on about "oooh Eve is broken, fix XYZ feature before doing ABC feature" but there are thousands of us managing to play the game just fine and accept the way things work at the moment. Just because someone wants something adjusted doesn't mean it needs to be adjusted.
As they say in another part of the forum:

CCP introduced a random new feature in a half-developed expansion then abandoned it after a few months while promising the next expansion will be the most awesome expansion ever......

You see how you just contradicted yourself?

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

I noticed that if someone sees some project being given less priority than the other (ie: WiS having less priority than FiS), some of the time that person assumes that the project is dead. Others assume that the project is being put in the sidelines. In reality, judging from the context of the dev blogs and interviews, WiS is just sitting in the sidelines until its turn arrives (like a batter in a ball game waiting for his turn to step up to the plate). So no, all the effort put into WiS has not been for nothing. It's just delayed due to players demanding that CCP fix the core problems of the game first.

I just had a talk with a friend who use to play Star Wars Galaxies and he told me how he hated the developers for continuously releasing new expansions without any regard to fixing the core issues. This basically led to a less-than-stellar popularity of the MMO. So, CCP is right in choosing to listen to the warnings of the players this time. Otherwise, Eve would have stagnated.

Gaaah, this thread again.

Look, here's the long and the short of it. WiS is not a priority now, CCP's priority is where it should be - making kickass FiS expansions for the foreseeable future.

But guess what? Look at the video in Hilmar's apology devblog.

The ultimate vision for EVE is still to have WiS and FiS working seamlessly together,.

I will repeat that for those who are hard of hearing: CCP's utlimate vision for EVE is still to have WiS and FiS working seamlessly together.

So WiS-lovers, stop getting your panties in a bunch and stop making these threads, what you want will one day come to be; and FiS-heads, stop being such a bunch of ******* Luddite retards and accept that CCP's vision is, and always was, more than just spaceships.

EVERYBODY ... CALM THE **** DOWN!!!!! Let CCP get on with it. We are returning to our normal schedule of arguing about whether gankers should get insurance or not, and other meaty philosophical topics.

Ummmm no I didn't, therenis room for both, people are loosing there jobs who worked darn hard on Incarna regardless of how bad ccp and hilmar rolled it out, and to scap it all now is such a shame a complete waste of months of hard work, there time, and ours! Now people can snipe and troll all they like, frankly it's expected, it doesn't change the fact that WiS would have brought so much more scope and dimension to eve,

Also for hilmar to also say in his interview that him leaving CCP would have been the easy option, sure hilmar we believe you, but it's easyer to fire 20% of your workforce after the balls-up that you made of Incarna? the entire interview made me want to kick puppies and push ponies in to sausage grinders!


It really does make me laugh though that all hilmar has to do is promise you trolls a few shiny new ships and your all hilmars supporters again, the fact they have gone back to developing more FiS **** is simply to stop the hordes of trolls bitching and getting them to resub with there alts, simply put, there milking the cash cow again, but oh well, time will tell.

I thought Incarna came out in 3 parts.

I can only remember 2 parts being released.

And the next expansion does not include the 3rd part.

So we still have 1 part to find.

Maybe dress up Ken is in it.
