Yeah, right now Incarna related things are pretty much the nichest of niche concerns in terms of overall %'s. Sub 1% of players even use CQ actively right now from what I know.

Prior to the release of Incarna, the community were as much behind the idea of WiS as CCP were, even after several years of waiting.

The tipping point wasn't that the game was going to have WiS, the tipping point was how underwhelming the implementation was.

It's not the idea that is bad, just CCP's ability to make it a reality. So I'm not sure that 1% figure represents anything significant about peoples attitudes to WiS. It might just reflect how poor the CQ is as a gaming element.

Yeah, kinda what I was trying to say before but I didn't word it the best I guess.

That 1% doesn't accurately represent interest in WIS or anything avatar related in fact. There's no gameplay or social function to it, so nobody uses it. I'm a hardcore avatar enthusiast, but even I hardly ever use CQ for anything but screencaps. Why bother? It currently has no purpose and I'm usually multiboxing several accounts, so CQ is going to cause a lot of lag if several are docked up simultaneously. Now if other avatars could actually visit and take a seat during convos that'd be a totally different matter - you'd never get me outta my CQ. But it was poorly implemented and then left hanging in it's unfinished state. Sad

Honestly I think what was a bigger failure than Incarna itself was the attitude taken by CCP afterward. They should have stayed on the horse, forged through the mistakes and stayed true to the vision they had at the time.

I just hope they don't take figures like that as a reason to take more steps back and remove CQ.

Yeah it's a load on the servers and yeah it's mostly useless right now. But it's still a good foundation to build on when the time is right.

If CCP made the large view screen able to do a character to character Vid call, that would probably generate more interest in Captains Quarters. Plus it would allow players the ability to show off their custom wardrobe.

Course that would require Dev time to be invested in *gasp* WiS.

Considering the regular game hasn't been reliable for me I wish there was more to do in Captain's Quarters. Instead it's lumped into incarna and then the venom flies.

Thanks,it better be enjoyable for a long time since I paid 300 TL for it. Big smile

I backed up all my data,including films and its capacity isn't even at the halfway yet.So I'm downloading new stuff like "Mega Disney Films Collection" (86 gb) to do something about it. Pirate

That's why RP is awesome. If I'm lazy I can happily sit docked all night and chat or RP for hours on end.

It's just as much fun for me as ganking caps.

Given that it was made with custom graphics engine and the last people who knew how to use that engine were fired 3 years ago, I wouldn't bet on any future iterations of the CQ and/or avatars.

With EVE's dwindling ppulation, sooner or later the CQ will become too onerous to maintain and will be removed. It might not be tomorrow or next year, but I bet you triple to one that the day EVE shuts down, there won't be no trace of the CQ in it.

6 years ago I was experiencing a ominous feeling as the Singularity version of the CQ was a horrible mess and in no way looked ready for prime time.

And here we are. All CARBON developers were fired. CQ still is useless. And there's no hope left not even for PvE and highsec as EVE digs itself deeper into a legacy niche nobody cares about.
