This is the most insightful post in the entire thread. It's EVE for crying out loud, if there's a mechanic that hasn't been twisted/warped/perverted into something illegal/immoral/fattening (delete as appropriate) it's because CCP hasn't released it yet.

Face it, there would a rush to see who could be first to get their toon to walk around naked or be replaced by a giant penis! While this might be sorta interesting, I doubt CCP would agree. Leave the dead horse alone.

Did I ever tell you that I started out bald like you (before we got the fancy character creator) ?

I carefully listened to what the voice said in this intro movie:

Quote:
What you dare to become rests on your will to be bald. Dare to be bald pilot.


Anyway, I rather beat a dead horse than a live one ... I dislike animal cruelty. So I join your sentiment to agree with whatever K.D. said.

Mmh ... Kellie, are you the one behind the KD ratio that is so important in FPS games ?

Don't anger the forum gods.

I remember Kill / Death ratios being something in Quake 1.
I used to make sure to target the top killer and not care how many times I died.

In a few months, we'll be at the 5th anniversary of incarna. Will 5 full years of no significant updates suffice to convince any of you that nothing is coming?

I can be told with absolutely certainty, face to face by Hilmar that CCP will make it their policy to never, ever add any more code to Walking in Stations and it will not stop me asking for more and supporting ideas that would add to it.

Your detractive efforts are futile.

Nasrudin was caught in the act and sentenced to die. Hauled up before the king, he was asked by the Royal Presence: "Is there any reason at all why I shouldn't have your head off right now?" To which he replied: "Oh, King, live forever! Know that I, the mullah Nasrudin, am the greatest teacher in your kingdom, and it would surely be a waste to kill such a great teacher. So skilled am I that I could even teach your favorite horse to sing, given a year to work on it." The king was amused, and said: "Very well then, you move into the stable immediately, and if the horse isn't singing a year from now, we'll think of something interesting to do with you."

As he was returning to his cell to pick up his spare rags, his cellmate remonstrated with him: "Now that was really stupid. You know you can't teach that horse to sing, no matter how long you try." Nasrudin's response: "Not at all. I have a year now that I didn't have before. And a lot of things can happen in a year. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die.

"And, who knows? Maybe the horse will sing."

Cool

Unless humanity shifts drastically, both in social constructs and specie's objectives then most of our lives are futile and a waste.
You are welcome to believe that the fruit of your loins will somehow achieve something that billions are failing to do and once they are an adults you can end your futile existence.
So, yeah, we all while away our time on this mud ball in different ways.

I had no such hope for you, but perhaps there might be one or two posters in the thread who can still see reality in the far horizon.

Actually, the only reality is that the future has not been written yet.

I'd like to add, that it isn't always about how far you can see, but also about how wide your perspective is.

The reality is that WiS looks highly unlikely to get done.
The reality is that there will always be people that will want it finished.

I think if the put it for a release it will give the player base a very big boost. If there is something you can do in WiS. But the problem is, do we need it? We as eve players? i guess not. But it is cool to walk to other "avatar" and say hi.

Of course it would be great it would be a massive hit.

In another 5 years when there's only a couple of thousand playing this game, Planetary Bombardments will be regarded as the high point and the dropping of WiS will be regarded as the tipping point.

Imagine an EVE2 without it, for todays gamers it would regarded as a basic requirement.

I think it would be a flop.


Mainly because there's a lot of stations and a lot of those stations have very few visitors if any. So instead of WiS it would be WiaBCC (walking in a bigger captain's cabin).

Only way to even get it to be remotely useful would be to have a portal that sends you to another station one that is used by many other stations. Which would have to be at least 1 per region due to the markets

But if it's just WiS then it is most likely not worth the invested time or resources.

Maybe WiS isn't the way to go.

Instead use the portal from your captain's cabin (once one is installed) to go to pleasure hubs (no market trading as that's regional). That way you can still meet other player characters and do some gambling or whatever else is available.

Edit:

If portals don't work with the lore, then just call them VR links. Then you can meet in a VR station.
