Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The current state of WiS is: either it makes it as an integral part of the three year plan being developed now, or it's dead.

Good news are that CCP Seagull is involved in live action role playing (LARP).

Bad news are everything else.

So, don't count on the door opening.

Why bother? It's dead and CCP currently has no plan to resurrect it in the foreseeable future.

We can only hope.

Perhaps add a new room every expansion, just for a change of scenery.

I think it could be a great addition to EVE, but like many others, I think it should be after a "greater" revamp of the EVE universe, where certain things are still outdated, even after Oddysey.
Many features are so old that they will require lots of time to rewrite completely..
There's also many other things that people have been waiting a long time for, such as docking into ships, which the Titan class was originally made to be like :) A mobile station.. was it not?

Anyways, yes it would be completely awesome! Poker rooms, starmap strategy room/hall, etc.
And whether or not CCP makes docking in ships before or after WiS is the same to me..
Just as long as some of the other old features get a much deserved revamp first, because, remember that we are not the only ones playing EVE.. :)

It's worthless trash that doesn't add anything to the game.

If you want to play poker there is player driven poker content with more than enough socialising to it. We don't need CCP wasting time and bloating the game client for this rubbish.

Give us WiS!. Let my people go!

Totally in agreement with OP's desiderata.

I don't think anything will happen with WiS for a while yet, though.

FiS is getting to a good state now, just a bit more work on it and then they'll be able to turn to WiS again (and I think by that time people will be more enthusiastic about it, especially if it's sandbox-oriented as you suggest).

Just asking but are the majority of players that want walking in station the same players who sit and spin there ships because "theres nothing to do in EVE anymore"?

And if so, why do you bother to log in if only to sit in a station and play poker... Just go to pkr.com and sign up, you can even play for free.

But what will it actually bring to the game other than a "sims" feel. Why do you need to go sit in you captains quarters with a load of your corp members and have fake beer (or whatever youre gonna do) when all youre gonna be doing is chatting in the channel or on a voice server same as what youre doing now. No ones actually saying why they really want it. Youre just giving the same remarks as everyone else. Which is "we want wis coz it gives us something to do other than spin ships"... If perhaps people (and yes well aware some have, very few though) gave idea as to what content it could add to the game, people and perhaps ccp would possibly be less reluctant to look at it.

So far ill ive read in a nutshell is "We want wis because were bored of eve and theres nothing to do. So give us this sim style gameplay that after a month of we will be bored of also"....so you can guarantee some ccp have read that too...
