100km is way to far to walk for anything. I suggest taking a bus or taxi.

You can use the griffon service, or buy a mount for a few gold pieces. Make sure you get a license first though P

When enlisting the service of griffins, i would recommend gawdina grimfethers over other competitors, just make sure to formulate the contract very carefully

Also, avoid this particular griffin, he's a complete incompetent

Don't need any excuse to not have WiS, just sux and is long dead.

WOD failed and EVE subscription declined. Since then they have put huge efforts into EVE to keep it barely alive. Do you, as a EVE player, really want them to split their resources to work on WIS?

WiS is EVE so why are you separating the two? If WiS is a great success does this not make their overall EVE product better? It's like pretending Fozzie SOV doesn't exist because you don't like it.

Actually EVE stopped growing when Incarna failed. What were expecting the people who joined EVE from 2007 to 2011?


PS, on topic: with technology currently available on Earth, that ride would take 25 minutes. I'm feeling lazy to calculate the minimum time with a constant 1 G acceleration...

It could be a practical change that doesn't cause offence to anyone that decides not to use it.

It's not some fantasy setting but a primer for legion, something you want.

I mean, I could make a point about SC here, but some people are waiting for that.

Also, everyone knows wis is just one room. Plenty of room to train.

WiS would be infinitely better if you can teabag corpses in space.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

Funny that you mention WiS, that idea, and the nex store costed their growth of that year. The Neglection and team goonscale the rest! Long live Supers! And Tech! And Big Blue Boring Donuts!

The best part of having almost WiS as a project launched: is the ignorance and shortsightedness (of the players) to realize their killing their own social sandbox, which took invested time to build up / create.
(no-one likes to see their time for being taked as granted, in a "game where you, the pilot, make the difference" ..... Or ow wait nah, we just say it is, and we actually don't care as long as you $$ and use plex (which we manipulate tooo))

The public image project "EVE is REAL" is all about Memories and Moments experienced in the Social context of EVE.

Guess what is falling apart if people lose their interest?

It is all Exponential

I am not really bitching or anything, just Saying 'Hahaha, Toad ya so" !! (and warned, and got trolled for it)

If relativity equals time plus momentum, what equals relativity, if the momentum is minus to the time?

There is a fan fiction video from John Drees on youtube that takes recorded comms from fleets / corps in EVE and it's a parody of the EVE is real video. Despite the glaze, there are plenty of variations in the unaccounted regions of null-sec, the third party stuff lower down doesn't void the EULA, it just happens to be 'the only stuff people accept' that the EULA can't be used to enforce. This video has 360k views. A lot of comments say the content in that video was the reason they quit, the reason eve players in E:D get a bad rep, the reason they wont play EVE etc..

Not one person is saying WiS should be a live-in situation.

There are plenty of voice apps amongst the corporations and alliances of EVE. Most of them 3rd party due to comments re EVE Voice, which we paid for.

There are chat interfaces in EVE too, but we use third party stuff like slack, mumble, pidgin, jabber.....

I don't get whats so anti-social about a 1 hour duration instance of WiS, and how much it can damage you if you miss it.

I mean, it's much more hostile to base everything you do outside of the game, and say all the CCP hf. development time for socialising is 'not worth it' and 'lacklustre'

If you want the WiS experience, just use the following steps:

1) Load TESV or TESO and make character that looks like your Eve Online character. Alt-tab out.

2) Load Eve Online, enter CQ.

3) Walk to door, make opening sound as you alt-tab back to TESO.

4) Find yourself in a land of silliness that has all the mechanics that you have pined for in Eve but were unable to have because Eve didn't have magic and single player and sparkles and rainbows and dragons and orcs and vampires and werewolves and catpeople and eskimos.

5) When you are done walking in "station", walk to a door, press alt-tab and make same door sound as before.

6) Welcome back.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Yes, and they are doing "great job" satysfying your kind. You forgot about micropayments and outrageous prices, it seems only few people, like me, understood WiS was only a beginning of something greater, that could come with time. I did not resigned. Lets now talk about those who resigned, now you have levels from y. 2008, 3 years back from y. 2011 levels, when we had 40000 players (after the much cherished by some people here WIS death). Back then CCP had Avatar exploration demo and WIS was still a posibility. Now you can cherish.

Yes, cherish it. Hahahaha.

I have 100,000 Marines at an asset station. Picturing me in a Citadel, in WiS mode with 100,000 Marines sounds kind of cool all be it useless at this stage. Still cool to see.

Oh and you can get better flying mounts when you level up!
