CCP has answered both in this thread and several other places. WiS is on the backburner and you're not going to get a different answer than that until CCP is done working on real EvE content.

You've got a purdy mouf

It's ok though, not all goons are like Ladie.

I see no problem with this. Like it or not, Incarna is part of EVE now, and there is a reasonable contingent that wants to see it iterated on. I hope that, with the focus on development shifted back to EVE, CCP will be able to continue to appeal to the FiS people while continuing to improve on the Incarna experience for those players that are interested in it. As long as the future developments to Incarna are in line with the general ethos of EVE, I'm all for seeing something interesting come out of it. It'd be good to get an idea of whether or not WiS is completely on halt, or simply working with a reduced staff.

Really? The only CQ I've seen is the Minmatar quarters. I've not seen anything beyond my ship spinning, since they brought back ship spinning. WiS is entirely optional.

You caught me with the entire hand in the cookie jar because I DO read web comics, particularly xkcd, userfriendly.org and cyanide & happiness. Which ones, beside the WoW web comics that you frankly can skip, do you do read?

Because that's where you should be posting if you want to be heard. CCP only responds to threads in GD under very specific circumstances and answering inflammatory questions that have already been answered is not one of those circumstances no matter how much you insist otherwise.

Everybody thinks and guesses, and CCP is not helping at all with their stubborn silence. Ignoring this thread is as nonsensical as it goes.



Nobody has to guess anything, CCP has stated quite clearly WIS is not a present priority. Read Hillmar's apology, the Dev blogs, and the CSM summit summary that Seleene posted. The part about no more "jesus futures" alone should be enough to tell you where things are heading.


Hints and guesses. There is this fukking thread to talk to us openly. Just send in a bloody Community Management guy and tell us that's how things are.

Just because you don't like the answer, does not mean if you keep asking over and over you'll get a different one. Denial is a harsh mistress, I'd recommend counseling.

No answers = keep questioning. Until I grow tired, and then with any luck they will have to answer to the press.

Why don't you just petition your CSM reps in the appropriate forum area and see what they tell you?


I mailed Meissa Anunthiel. Was like 2 weeks ago. No answer yet. I guess the CSM is very busy chit-chatting with their nullsec buddies. Straight

For that matter why don't you open a game petition and demand you get a response?

Sounds great, if weren't that petition system already is seriously clogged. Last week they had 5,500 petitions pending, vs 1,500 as average. And just yesterday CCP in their neverending cunning told every gil who missed their holiday gift to go and petition it. Petitioning anything will not be a frutiful idea for a few weeks coming.

If you want to "discuss" WIS features there is a forum area specifically setup for doing that too. Why are you not using it?

I already did so.


oh yeah petitions, you made a petition wanting ccp to freeze your main account so you can keep the subbed game time you still have for when you want to come back, didn't work out so well?

Of course it is optional. Nearly all activities in eve are optional. FW is optional. Nullsec wars are optional. Mission Carebearing is optional. Living in wormholes is optional. Undocking is optional.

These are all parts of eve and however relevant they are to your playstyle is beside the point.

It is relevant to someone, and they deserve the content that was promised to them just as much as you deserve content promised to you.

Cockblocking others is unnecessary to make your point about CCP's failings.
