Not so much, no.

Done it.

Nope, you didn't.
That would be a one-man-empire, which is none.
You needed help and people around you.

Dismissed.

If they do WIS I want a hover board. Walking around some of those stations will take longer than flying from Ren to Jita in a freighter on autopilot, without the excitement of CODE.

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.


You bet your sweet sweet cloned ass I want that. Also, weren't we promised hardcore sexual intercourse on stations?!?! I wants meh space poon!!! Artemis Tyrannos is asking for it!!!

Hot.

I really dont know what to think. Part of me would like to see other players avatars in station environment, and when I saw this new CCP career offers, it rekindled a small candle of hope. But then it immediately started to flutter, as I know CCP have other plans for future, for EVE.

Maybe completely other game, in a world of EVE, something what can acompany Valkyrie on Oculus. Pirate

WIS + Oculus + Adults Only areas in stations = doubling of the player base in a few weeks.

Just sayin'

No, you simply need people to do what you tell them to do. That doesn't mean playing with them.


You have much to learn about efficiency.

Its still not one man empire.
I dont see how it would be if you dont need people that listen to you. Empire is not about one man telling others what to do. Its about all these people listening.

Never said anything about a one man empire.

I said one man can build an empire without having to play with others, and that holds true to this day.


It's all about how you choose to delegate.


Now granted, I can choose to get involved when I'm really bored but its hardly necessary.

Listening and telling is interaction with others. You can say its not playing, but there you have it, you need others to have empire. Else its just a crazy man talking to himself. I think this is not solo building. One can say he build it himself, but in fact they built it together. He just take claim for something other people do. Just like Steve Jobs. Lol

I firmly believe that establishing 'Walking in Stations' is one of those things that has the potential to capture a whole new audience and increasea our subs. This is of course dependent upon being able to "live" in stations and have a lot of stuff to do, as in it being a whole new game, where don't necessarily need to fly space ships.

even though they have already said they do not intend to be looking at it again you are still here?

Im be in here because for now in MMO, EVE is only mature MMO.

But i still wait to play space poker in station lose and win itemes and isk ;)

Technically speaking it's the *only* MMO.


Project Entropia is out since a long time, it's not some 3k online indie stuff. It's also an harsher PvP MMO than EvE is (yes I have played it).

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.

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.


This is quite false, there are plenty of missions to do on planets, save / salvage / rescue / attack bases, shut down generators in bases and so on.

I hope for WiS one day. I may have posted in here before but don't feel like looking up past posts at work.

I'd like our CQ to be something like Playstation Home was supposed to be, minus the ungodly prices for items. A majority of stuff should be obtainable through ISK, with premium stuff for NES. I see a reason for in station environments to be a place to chill and do mini activities. Sure, it's not space or a spaceship but who cares?itd be optional content anyway
As long as long standing in game problems get fixed by CCP first.

Yes, I may be an outlier who thinks is possible and feasible.

If they are being delegated to then they are working for him and not necessarily with him as, "with," can mean an equal relationship.

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.

Are you implying these are brainless automatons? Since when lobotomized monkeys form empires?

If he is doing everything himself, its for sure a zoo or a farm, not empire.

Perhaps you need to do so in a WiS environment to fully comprehend this phenomenon! Lol

Remember Sid Meier's Pirates! ? The ship combat and the fencing action were kind of hard, but nothing compared to the dance floor action. One derp, and you were kaput with the Governor's Beautiful Daughter, go back to Go. WIS has to be like that.

Beats me, WIS would be ok, it was used in Earth & Beyond although there were no private quarters, there were multiple places to go.
There was a bar, and trade center along with processing stations, mission stations, with the NPC's you could kinda sorta talk to, production stations, even a news center where you could hear the latest news around the universe.

I have no idea how Westwood managed it but it worked really great. The engine to drive it was sold and used to create the Sims.
When E & B shut down I was given a months sub to EVE but did not get to use it.

A way to have some wis features, would be to add them to some Legion areas, rather than a separate expansion. You have a central hub and market place before missions, meeting up with your corp and others in your faction, change gear with others, planning missions, journey to other planets together. Maybe one could think of wis like Dust with more opportunities to do what you want and more possibilities for interaction.
