Eve devs? I imagine any time spent not drinking is considered a waste of their time.

1) It wasn't internet spaceships. It did nothing to improve internet spaceships. (Eve is a game about internet spaceships)
2) It was abandoned. While most of us were only too happy to see Space Barbie die in it's crib, the fact remains it was a major investment by CCP into a total dead end. Incarna was an entire expansion. One of only two we got per year (until this year when CCP decided we don't even deserve that anymore) and it was incomplete at launch, completely extraneous to the actual game of Eve Online, and remains little more than concept art some years later.
For all intents and purposes, Incarna was like CCP skipped an expansion. We got more actual content out of patches following Incarna than the expansion itself.
But, the silver lining to that debacle was CCP remembered that Eve is about internet spaceships and gave us Tiericide and several really strong expansions after that. Crucible was the expansion we all had wanted/been expecting all along, instead six months earlier we got Space Barbie and vanity items.
The internet spaceship thing is something that was coined by players, not CCP (at first).
Avatars were a part of the plan from the beginning... EVE is supposed to be an all-encompassing scifi simulator, not just a single-unit space RTS. Incarna is still coming, one way or another, and it will interface with the rest of the game in some way or another. Whether it's a year from now or 10 years i don't know, but it's coming either way.
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all... |

Shhhh...
You're letting facts and history get in the way of their oh so fragile view about what the game 'must' be. God help them if they ever looked at the actual weekly average concurrency numbers just post Incarna (Hint, Odyssey was almost TWICE as bad). |
