So right now DUST and EvE exist in the same game universe and are supposed to be inexorably linked. At the moment, it is limited to us bombing dust bunnies, but I hear at some point they will get to shoot back, and I am confidant more interaction will be coming our way eventually. EvE and DUST players can send messages between each other, chat in local, and even be in the same corps and alliances.
There's a little problem though: We have separate forums and websites. What's up with that? it seems like CCP is just dividing the two communities by not allowing us shared discussion on the forums. They really should merge foe forums and site backends and just make the DUST website an alternate frontend. |

The problem might be that DUST accounts are created and used through Sony servers, while EVE accounts are created and used through CCP servers. I don't know the inner workings of forum management, but I am fairly certain it's going to be difficult having both character types convercing on the same forum(unless you create a completely new forum, like the New Eden forums or something). But I agree, not only having a combined platform for both communities to commune and talk to each other would be great for RP, it would further tie our communities together and have both a duster and an egger view on problems.

Do devs ever post in this section?
I'd really love for one of them too explain the separation. After all, it seems like they are trying to put forth a fair bit of effort to integrate as much as they can between the games. |

I'd love to see at least one shared forum... maybe this one?
Plus let's expand walking in stations so we can walk around with dust bunnies.
Oh, can we get custom armour skin decals that have little bunnies on them that we can "paint" on bunnies?

Dust 514 is still work in progress and will be, exactly like Eve in its tenth year. Both share the same universe but are still two different games, with two different communities. For now.
So far both games are connected enough with the features present and established in Dust 514. In its next installment CCP will add the possibility to conquer districts and planets. What you talk about now is certainly something that will be present in the future, while both games grow together.
I regularly follow the devblogs for Dust 514 and if you read them right, it is coming... soon.
And if it is about WiS,... something new would be terrible nice. I am waiting since years.  |

I would also like to note that Dust 514 is getting a separate 'War Council' to serve the same function as the CSM dust 514 side.
As for forums I would like to see it one day where eve players can post on our forums and vice versa.

However, watching the URLs during forum login process it goes from an "eveonline.com" site to "playstation.com" and back to "eveonline.com".
It might be a bit tricky to marry the two, but clearly not impossible since the login validation is passed back to CCP eventually. |

I am curious about the notion of having DUST players sharing corp channels, and able to access player created channels but unable to see the alliance channel.
Is there some technical reason for this? None immediately spring to mind.

Yes, I've noticed this too. Having one of the Deva give us an explanation on the situation would be nice.

There is, currently there is no mailing list functions in dust (thus I have 15 messages I cannot read) and there is no alliance level function for example Internal Error is part of negative feedback, this shows int he forums but not in game at all.

may 6th we will see if this interaction pans out to more than just a gimmick. if it doesn't happen by then dust players who were drawn in by the whole one universe one war selling point will most likely move on to a more stable shooter. |

What's sad is I know for a fact stuff has been happening in DUST, but with the communities so segregated at present, there hasn't been enough news to push this off the first page and the last post was 2 weeks ago. Disappointing.
One forum to rule them all CCP, or at least let DUST players log on here to poke at us and let us log on there to poke at them. |

I'm don't know much of PS3, but why not to make it possible to have a Dust character on EVE account slot? Even if you won't be able to enter the game with it.
It'll also open some future possibilities.
in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much?

Probably for the same reason I stated above, plus that DUST 514 runs on Unreal 3, while EVE Online runs on Carbon. Merging the two engines together would be tricky aswell.

Well, considering DUST is still a BETA until the 14th, I don't see having 1 forum until at least the 14th.
The big reason there was separate forums was the NDA. DUST could not have Forums that were accessible by anyone outside the game. Once the game is live as an actual public game and not just a BETA, I'm sure CCP will have some plans to further merge the two communities.
I agree overall though, OP. We need to do as much as possible to merge the two communities into one.

The best advice I can give any Eve player, new or old, is to never ever ever read the general discussion subforum. It is a cancer on this game and should just be deleted. |

Will the two groups have any interaction at all?
While I can see them wanting to have sessions by themselves, I think in the name of integration there should be a joint session, or maybe something like a CSM representative (or two) to the CPM sent to their meetings and a CPM representative (or two) to the CSM sent to their meetings. |

Good to hear.
If the two communities are supposed to be working together, we should have communication going between us (speaking of which, would you be able to bring up the issue of seperate forums to the CPM? They don't necessarily have to be combined into the same website and forum [though that would be nice, and I'd love to see the EvE wiki also host DUST information, I don't think there's an official DUST wiki], but it would be cool if we could post to DUST forums (or at least some sections) with an EvE account and post to the EvE forums (or at least some section, notably the DUST section and IGS) with a DUST account.) Most issues are contained to one community, but some stuff is shared, and in those instances at least, some collaboration would be welcome.javascript:if (typeof posting=='undefined'||posting!=true) {posting=true;__doPostBack('forum$ctl00$QuickReplyBtn','');} |

We do show up in local. We're mostly currently located in our own starter systems there is quite a few of them.
