Uh-huh. Straight

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Well, maybe not everyone, but yeah isn't it beautiful.

I think EVE's sociology regarding this topic has shifted dramatically over the past two years. There are still some die hard haters, but by and large much of the stigma attatched to things avatar-related has gone. Things are being fed to us slowly and gently, and it's evolving naturally as a result of growing interest. These days it's become okay to enjoy avatars a bit, whereas three years ago you'd be driven from the forums with torches and pitchforks for even mentioning it.


I did mention it on a podcast where I was the guest once, that we want it back (this was right after the Jira riots, etc) :) I never feared the pitchforks back then, I just liked the idea of being able to go "dry walk" somewhere. And look, now there's Star Citizen and many other space based games being developed that will allow all of it. In ship, out of ship, in other vehicles, etc.

I'm hoping to see healthy competition among all of the space games. Wow I hardly speak Out of Character.. *goes back to the mysterious mists of roleplaying*

Boss has that effect on people sometimes.

Usually the opposite happens though.

Anyway, The Banana supports walking in stations. Or moonwalking in my case.

I remember the riots in Amarr...it was glorious

It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.

There was disappointment about WiS at the time but the riots were about "Greed is good" and all the gold Scorpion / ammo ideas.
Despite graphics cards melting left and right, the riots weren't even about that.

CCP's intentions are rarely backed up with hard results. He may be hoping the same applies as a reverse benefit.

The competitors are offering some alluring stuff that CCP will eventually have to take notice of, but they aren't offering the main key. This is a world, they're making games.

Part of why even though I pledged for Star Citizen and look forward to playing it with my girlfriend, when I want a world to play in I'll still be coming to EVE Online.

The world.

A long term vision. What is there after the gates and supposed new colonization? What will be the vision with new producer? CCP will make only SKINs and dresses? I dont think so, and i dont think CCP Seagull will be forever a producer for CCP. Already new vision must be developed, that comes after this one in realization.

Technically speaking it's the *only* MMO.

So we haven't even reached the current Future Vision and you're already suggesting we need to be looking beyond it?

I mean, just as an example, Elite: Dangerous just came out with landing on planets with no atmosphere. Most of that gameplay involves just flying around over the surface or driving your rover to look for resources.

One need only go to Twitch to watch people doing that and enjoying themselves for hours. And that's only the first release of landing functionality.

I don't think finding new solar systems and building gates out to them to colonize them is in any danger of getting boring soon after release.

In EVE, someone will come and blow that rover away, declaring ...

That's part of my point, Solecist.

If a "game" can occupy people to that extent, imagine how long it'll take for people to grow tired of exploring a completely unknown world and building empires in entirely new systems.

I mean, if it's even possible to grow tired of that.

Not sure I follow... you can't grow empires playing solo ...
