We'll see them sooner than changes to sov, that's all I know.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

But he is more connected to reality, with less wishfull thinking.

Null is getting buffed and iterated on while WiS or anything related to it...
... well... not so much. Sov... well... that's a dead horse.

The smartest thing for CCP is to wait until the issue has resolved itself,
which will happen all by itself. The solution to the sov problem comes
shen the CFC owns all of nullsec and any opposition can and will be crushed.

That's the best time when CCP can make changes,
with NewSpace and player built stargates in mind.

I know my post sounds like I am opposing you, but that's not my intention.
I am merely trying to tell you that his game is actually getting worked on,
with a chance of success. WiS otoh.... nope. None. Null. Nada. Gar nichts.

Hopefully they utilize the tech developed by the WoD team to open the stations. It would be a shame for all that work to go to waste.

You're assuming the WoD team got anything accomplished.

The fact that so many resources can go into a project with pretty much
zero proof there was even a project to begin with is mind numbing. In fact,
who says there really was a project called WoD? CCP? hmm makes you
wonder where that money really went doesn't it?

Seriously, where's the proof?

There is a fair bit. There have been a couple videos of their world building tools (that were going to allow them to build huge cities), and the effects they could apply (rain on surfaces). It was looking pretty impressive.

Links?

Please add links to the game play demos too please. I mean how many years did they
work on it? 8 years?? Surely there must be loads of vids and screenshots by now.

8 effing years and nothing... classic.

I wonder where the money REALLY went.

Not really.

A barrel with a note 'drop a coin inside' will eventually fill up too.

Actually, the longer it takes, the less importance it has.

Yes, I am aware that this forum barrel has no upper limit,
but it's by far not as full as it could be.

lol.

The CCP that once was able to accomplish that is gone, dead & buried or moved over to another company. They're not even able to allocate dev time to reward their longest playing players with a 'simple' station within a years time, what makes you think they can pull anything beyond that off?

Lol

Well, this thread had quite a momentum when it got created.
With time people got tired of basically writing to themselves because decisions were already made even before CCP Bayesian posted OP. And the fact that virtually no dev got involved in here didn't help either.

CCP is not in business of getting things done, not even things they promise during recent PLEX sponsored Fanfest HD streams so how one could expect to get features hyped years ago.

This thread simply serves as a barrel to shut up the people who care.
Shut up, as in keeping them contained somewhere so they don't make a huge fuzz annoying everybody.

When people have the possibility to express their feelings they will most likely not explode.

Something RL tyrants could learn from CCP :)

This technique is well known and used.

It can be observed in the best selling newspaper in the word,
at least relative to the amount of citizens, (you can look that up)
the "Kronen Zeitung" in Austria.

Basically any time people get a forum to express themselves about
things that bother them, it's for this purpose.

Can backfire, but rarely does. People rather delude themselves in believing that
their opinions matter and have some sort of importance.

Btw, this isn't used by tyrants.
They have no use for that anymore.


Understand that allowing people to have opinions and allowing them to express them
are controll mechanisms and not a natural right or something. Something many
people don't seem to want to understand, because it undermines their illusionary self importance.

We should drop this topic, because rl politics aren't allowed on the forums.

You are right, let's not derail this perfectly focused thread with RL politics.

"Kronen Zeitung" you say? If anything I would suspect "Österreich" although it is free so I guess it wouldn't qualify. But that quality of "news", nomnomnom... :)

The Österreich isn't free.
That's the Heute.

Kronen Zeitung was indeed the best one, probably still is.

Quality is equal... they all suck.
Just differently.

I am pretty sure I saw both titles distributed for free at u-bahn stations. Or maybe it was in fact only Heute and I just saw Österreich on my co-workers' desks and just assumed they had to get it for free because nobody would pay for such sh!t. Well, I will be in Vienna in 2 months for a few days so I will check it out.

This is how exciting my life is!

Gimme WiS so I could make my space dolls dance!

Oh please. We can draw upon any idiotic sayings to justify any argument with substance.

For example. The empty vessel makes the loudest noise. is a fun way of referring to null sec players.
