Wrong, wrong and WRONG.

This is not just a 'Spaceship Game'. That term implies that Eve Online is a Spaceship flying simulator. Your use of the term 'Dolly' shows you have a closed very limited imagination and know very little about what direction this game is going.

CCP has stated from the beginning that Eve Online is a massive multiplayer online role playing game ...It is a player-driven, persistent-world MMORPG set in a futuristic science fiction space environment.

CCP has stated more than once that their vision for Eve Online is to make it a Science Fiction Virtual Reality. That includes all aspects from FiS to WiS.

So you and all the other anti WiS naysayers need to accept the fact that WiS is here to stay. It will be further developed over time with more game play options.

Obviously you've made statements without doing any research regarding this issue. Next time please use goggle to find some facts to back up your statements.

And we thank you very much for constantly doing that.

Oh by the way, you did see the Dev's posted replies in this thread regarding WiS, right? Guess all that's left to say is 'Told you so'.

There was an interesting quip about WiS though a potential outlet for eve to be free to play the paid service always being space flight hoever but instation folks could like help a manufacturing/research job along get some isk to buy or outfit thier store in a district pay the rent or potentially a plex.

hold on a ******* second, i actualy play the game, i've attended fanfest, i've read many many dev blogs, and forgive me, but the fact remains, it is a spaceship game,, in the future as you say yes it may be much much more, but right now, it is NOT !

CCP have stated many things over the years which usualy follows with a soon.TM
i've nothing against anyone wanting to play with their dolly, knock yourselves out, but the fact is this, the core of the game cannot be ignored as it was during the WiS development, if WiS is going to effect the core element of the game then to HELL with WiS !

you are so wrong, i am not anti WiS, i am anti ignore the core element of the game, i looked forward to WiS just as much as others did and still do for what might be in teh future, but what we got was a farce which the game has still not fully recovered from.

on a closing note, maybe it is you who needs to read up or Google the stats on players who have left because of what WiS did to EVE last year. WiS brought ZERO players into game, it drove them away, you yourself are here playing spaceships onlne, i mean come on,, are you really going to tell me you joined EVE for WiS ?

show me the stats of players who joined EVE for WiS Vs players who joined for FiS. all this from an alt,, post from your main and give backbone to your argument.

This is the proof that some ppl can read the same sentence all day long but are not intelligent enough to understand what happen in it.
If i was on your place i would not write any more.

Tell me what ppl left the game because the WiS???
What WiS did to EVE???

How i love ppl that come to anti apple protest and bring anti orange transparent and only them shout anti orange paroles;
and then tells ppl that there was anti orange protest.

All ***** that happen to EVE last year was about "golden ammo" and "greed is good".

Learn to read with understanding.

Lol. Dumb troll is dumb. Show me your stats and I'll show you mine. Twisted

Most people were pissed off due to the lack of development in EVE in general over the last few years, the overpriced NeX store, and the incomplete version of Incarna that we got. Not specifically because of WiS

Not true, they had a playable demo a few years back which included an avatar walking around, going to a bar, and playing a game. I know it's not much, but it does show at least that ideas for gameplay do exist.

They have also said that they plan to make illegal items like boosters tradable in stations. Which I think sounds like great fun.

There are many, many ideas for gameplay already, they just need to implement them already.

Let's hope we get a great dev blog soon.

Yeah, I agree we mainly use spaceships as the mode of transportation in this game and they are also the base for the majority of activity's conducted in-game. Of course there's also players with Trade characters that never leave Market Hub stations. Call it what you want, CCP has stated time and time again that Eve Online is a MMORPG Science Fiction Virtual Reality. That includes everything from FiS to Wis.

You say you're not anti-WiS, that's great. Your other posted reply seemed to indicate otherwise but I probably just misunderstood it and if I did, I apologize. However, your continued use of the term 'Dolly' instead of 'Avatar' is easily viewed in a derogatory and negative manner.

It seems that a lot of players keep saying all the problems last summer was due to WiS and that was the reason for the mass rage unsub's that happened last summer. This is not true. I and other players have already stated a few times that there were a lot of other things that contributed to that. Also don't even try to say that CCP has spent the last 2 to 5 years not adding any FiS gameplay content due to placing development time on WiS. There has been a lot of game content added within that time frame. Unfortunately each time content was introduced to the game, it broke some stuff which just kept getting added to an already large list of other broken stuff.

Yes, we got a poorly optimized unfinished version of Ambulation. It's been optimized now and will probably have more optimization done to it in the future. Granted we only have 4 different CQ's available that provide no player interaction but hey, it's a start and more gameplay content will be developed in the future.

By the way, this is my main character.

Another question for team Avatar.

Given that 60 devs are currently working on the World of Darkness MMO, can we expect any of the improvements that they make to the character rendering technology to make it's way into Incarna (presuming that they are doing this kind of work of course).

Also. Dev blog? Please?
