It will have a population of a couple thousand players who happen to be EVE players who own a PS3. What happens to DUST 514 and EVE a year after its launch, when BF5 and CoD13 launch? Hey Nostrodamus! As long as you're predicting the future, do you also have any winning lottery numbers for next summer? I'm kidding, but you do raise a point that I see quite a bit. One thing I think a lot of people are overlooking is that the DUST 514 player base isn't going to be entirely comprised of people who are playing EVE already. There is a great deal of interest in DUST 514 among PlayStation gamers and the future is not as gloomy as how you're picturing it. Also, DUST 514 is a different type of game from Battlefield: Something and Call of Duty: Another Something, just as EVE Online is a different game from World of Warcraft. EVE and WoW may both be MMOs but EVE appeals to a different type of player. I do love the Battlefield titles, I play a fair amount of Black Ops, and Halo Reach has consumed a great deal of my free time. Actually I'm still playing Reach... must... have... 100% armory completion.... They're all great games in their own way, all fantastic shooters, but they don't have some of the hooks that DUST 514 will, particularly in terms of world impact and depth.

Don't you know that these forums are only for baseless accusations, wild speculation, childish tantrums and endless anti-everything-CCP-does-that-isn't-FiS drivel. Naughty, naughty OP Ten points to Gryffindor. CCP Shadow DUST 514 Community Manager

They can't. Isn't CCP Shanghai doing the Dust side of things? Why can't they keep working on Dust? That's right. CCP Shanghai is largely focused on DUST 514, but we also have people dedicated to EVE in China here too. CCP Shadow DUST 514 Community Manager

I mean this Eve, a game were people love griefing those who cant fight back so imagine what it would be like for those playing dust would be. BTW it has been said that if we can shoot them they can shoot back, as that question was asked after This Video (the bit from 1:55) I haven't checked the video link, but what you said is correct.

I can't say much about the PI stuff you mentioned - more of the specifics of game mechanics will be revealed closer to DUST 514's launch. I already see those with an interest in DUST 514 also asking a lot of questions about EVE. Whether or not that means there'd be an influx of DUST players into EVE isn't something I can predict, though of course I'd like to see this happen. Corps will exist in both EVE and DUST, as you mentioned they're actually the same corps, and can have both capsuleers and mercs. CCP Shadow DUST 514 Community Manager
