It'll be interesting to see how attention wanes now that WiS has been pushed back, again.
I think people are getting a little tired of that.

EVE has never been really tested but it will be soon with Jumgate Evolution, Dark Prophecy and Star Trek Online.
Those games are going to be like WoW in space. Any players that go there from here are no big loss.
I think you and CCP both are underestimating the competition.

You mean there are people who actually believe WiS isn't an elaborate practical joke CCP played on people long ago and is now just kept going to see how long it can live? 
It's become a matter of faith for me. I must believe even without any evidence, no matter how hopeless it seems.
Any talk of it being a collosal joke is the work of the antiWiSt.

I like the idea of WIS but I see severe limitations on its implementation, such as not being needed to play the game, so I cannot see how it brings any game play value which can justify its cost. It will need a total revamp of the UI too, select from menu does not work for 3D toons. Its a massive project and it must have already soaked a good chunk of budget. For something that does not add to gameplay? Not sure that's a good idea. Also I assume they are developing it from the coding done for their other MMORPG in development, so its that MMORPG (black wolf?) which will decide when it comes out.
It wont be out for a year at best, so unless CCP suddenly comes out with it as a nice surprise its maybe best to pretend it will never happen. Anyway, I'm playing EVE as it is, anything that may come I will care about when it arrives. That's the best way with MMROPG's I think.
It's not needed to play the game, but then again, we could still technically play the game if all we had were our pods. As for all the work, nothing worth doing is ever easy.
WoD is a large factor too. The hype could start as soon as next fanfest and might even begin to eclipse EVE. Which may make WiS somewhat lacklustre when it finally goes live. Like it's a demo for that or something.
A year is probably somewhat accurate, and i'm not begging them to rush it either. Whenever it's finished is good for me, but i'd prefer if it was sometime in the next year.
