I dont think I've ever posted here..
And if I did, I dont remember it.
Now.. since I'm a bit drunk I will give y'all my two cents about the subject.
This game is about spaceships... why do we need to walk in stations?
would it be copl? yes it would.. do we need it? no we do not..

If they're still fixing the Armageddon (see patch notes) then what chance did anything new like WiS really ever have in the first place?

At the very least hired and potentially paid by the Reykjavik office. They transfer people around all the time within the company, for example Rattati running the show for Dust despite it being a Shanghai thing.

Could be we're finally getting an independent ambulation client. Could also be foreshadowing of continued Dust work.

Could be both. Could be neither. Could be more VR stupidity.

The world may never know. A lot of CCP's ideas never take root.

Interesting description for the job offer. Sadly it's probably unlikely we'd hear anything about who they've hired or what the project is until a year from now at least.

Rattati Senpai noticed us! See you in the next FPS!

Bored newbies who are station camped might want something to do, for example.

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

Walking in stations should be their #1 priority. I'm sure we all agree on this one fact.


And an actual animation to get inside the pod (naked or in underwear) and have a gantry put it inside the ship. And we absolutely must be able to buy furniture and other useless crap to decorate the rooms. And have little underpaid workers placing the items into the rooms every time we dock.

But wait THERE'S MORE!!!

Let's not stop there. We need walking in ships as well. We should be able to exit the capsule while it's in the ship and fraternize with the crew. Go to engineering, the bridge and all that stuff. And when your ship goes boom some of the crew may or may not make it to the escape pods in time and die. And then you'll be all like, "Damn, I was just playing poker with that guy".

And for capital ships other players should be able to come aboard. Obviously, titans will be like stations.

So much sarcasm and yet, such a convoluted scenario you paint there.
Makes me think you really wanted this stuff and now you are bitter because you are unlikely to ever get it.

EVE has never been about space ships. Spaceships are just the tool to play actual social game EVE is.

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.


Yes, but at that time there was also the WiS and all that came with it.. Incarna, our new character creation, monocles :) , and all the clothing items, etc.

I also recall a corp mate at the time, going with a few others and smart bombing Jita, heh, saw it on video!

We were from NullSec, we didn't care about our security status.

Tinder meets EVE and WiS becomes incredibly profitable. P
