We hear you guys loud and clear and realize that there is still strong support for a multiplayer, avatar based experience in EVE (we also hear those that donGÇÖt want it). However, we think youGÇÖll agree that it has to be a compelling experience and there was a feeling amongst our people that the direction we were taking with the Establishments feature wasGǪ well, not that fun. Additionally, we wanted to ensure that our rendering technology was finely tuned to a point that would ensure all of your characters continued to look great while performing well.
ItGÇÖs humbling to see the support in this thread for a multiplayer Incarna experience and we are still committed to providing it, as and when itGÇÖs ready. We want to take the time to do it right and ensure you guys get something that is both fun and involving. There are no promises about when this will happen, just rest assured that while you are enjoying your space based updates this winter, there will continue to be movement on this.
I would dearly love to see a multiplayer avatar experience in EVE one day. I have always said and I will continue to say that in the long term, EVE needs avatar gameplay to continue to grow and evolve.
But the fact is your WiS platform is simply not ready to support that level of gameplay yet, and it is equally true that the FiS aspect of the game has simply been starved of resources too long. Right now, CCP's priority must be to ensure that there will be a "long term" in which WiS can eventually flower and grow.
It is my hope that a small, lean tean will emulate the shining success of Team Gridlock, and craft and improve the WiS engine to the point where it can realistically support the gameplay you want to give us and we'd love to have.

If a woman can make a baby in 9 months, 4 women can make 2 babys in 4.5 months.
Proved by the power of maths!

Listen, maybe you people haven't noticed, but EVE is bleeding out right now.
Either CCP get :spaceships: working right now or there won't be an EVE for there to be further WiS expansions.
The Incarna engine simply isn't ready for all the cool stuff that would make a WiS focus worthwhile. It sucks, it's shocking that it's true, but there it is. No matter what, you're not going to get multiplayer WiS this winter, and you were never going to get it either.
So It's a real shame that you're not going to get 2 WiS expansions in a row after FiS has been neglected for 2 years, but you'll just have to deal with it.

You may want to look up the trend in the numbr of people logging in to EVE.
