I'd be nice if we could interact with other people's avatars in a bar or something.

Is this still be worked on or was it dropped? Straight

I've been told I'm somewhat famous, no idea why...

most eve players are generally pretty autistic. thus they don't like change. so they complained and now WiS has been put on a back burner :\

I find the whole space part daunting and overwhelming. I'd rather just socialize on a station after a quiet afternoon of mining :3

oh well, maybe some time down there road...

Maybe one day, if WoD is popular, maybe, MAYBE, they'll consider thinking about possibly making a note to revisit an attempt at almost reviving WiS.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Something tells me WIS would be great, but what would we actually do that wouldn't be pointless crap?

Actually, some of us think of it as being more than an internet spaceship game.

It's a science fiction economy game, and I want my casino where I can sell illegal cybernetics and stolen data under the table while alliance tournament ships are bet in high-stakes games of Shield Tank, and the drinks are served by exotic dancers while the actual exotic dancing is done by holograms because that's how we roll in the future.

And maybe a pit with komodo dragons where some blonde dude can fight my minions and be bailed out by his gorgeous counterpart.

You do not like this thread popping up over and over? Simple: Get CCP to open the door.

When Hilmar mentioned WiS in the last Fanfest, it got a big cheer. Twice. But in response all he said was "Maybe next year".

As for what to do, many things have been suggested. CCP seemed to be headed to having player run establishments (think: bars) where certain illegal items could be traded. The law would prohibit the transport of these items, but an overwhelmed customs system would place enforcement of that law into the hands of the players. The items themselves would be used to make new boosters. Quafe Zero was an example of the new boosters. Result: Wis actions would create FiS content.

But even basic public areas where people can meet would create content. Right now role players interact on chat channels, get into arguments, and those carry over into FiS. Better ways to interact would result in more interaction and more content.

We're still waiting for it. Last time it was cancelled by an angry mob of communists here on the forums, but CCP promised it would not happen again by shutting the forums down next time they release avatar content.Cool

My sub expires tomorrow (after I reactivated it to check "expansion") - that's how excited I am about spaceship game. Yet decent WiS functionality (MassEffect2-style combat in anomalies and in POSes) could make me re-subscribe easily - instead of playing APB: Reloaded for example.

CCP effectively "shelved" it, when somebody wanted to go off and do "DUST" ... so, please, take some time to ponder what great and wondrous things could have been built for "WIS" if only the time and resources had been used here instead of being poured down the drain into a dead-end PS3 game.

IT should be done, we could at least be given the room they have in dust 514. It wouldn't take any work. put the mini game table in there so we can gamble over ships and isk like you showed working already at fanfest 7 years ago.

make it simple and just deliver it without making any new assets.

How can you justify new items like arm tattoos without a muliplayer avatar environment??? Or give us the minmatar bar that was already done.

Would it be fine even if it was only one races environment?

Both dust and play station home have a muliplayer environments.

At fanfest in 2006 they showed a working gambling system. Where you could put ships and one of kind items on the line. Even war contracts and such. I think, if there is a subset of the playerbase that wants to trade wars by gambling in eve online , that's something that's very black market and I think it would fit right in.

I also believe it shouldn't have to take any new art assets to make and doesn't need shiny features. It just needs
to create a venue for black market trade and face to face trading system so we can get those awesome black market weapons and boosters CCP was planning. Where you could police other players by scanning down cargo bays and if you found illegal goods you could open fire and kill them *IN HIGH SEC*. The only way to trade black market items was going to be this face to face system.

In fact, just ignore the whole mini game. A Black market trade system so players can become cops in space is genius. Think of all of the added combat and fun of running a smuggling operation. It would actually take skill. People would be able to be followed in station so the players could hunt down the arms dealers before they even undock.

Do it ccp please? It's really odd you sell things for real money in this game without anyone being able to see it.... >.<
