I love and hate these threads.
First, I love them because I want Avatar based iteration, and these threads popping up and quickly becoming threadnaughts show that the playerbase wants it. It's always someone new asking for it, and there are always new people in here vouching for it.
I hate these threads because there is no logic in the arguments in them. The pro WiS people start asking for content that no one can get behind, and most of them don't understand that releasing more small empty rooms is a complete waste of time. And the anti-WiS crowd feed on these people like vultures. It's easy to pick their ideas apart. The fact of the matter is that CCP have prototyped a model for CONTENT in WiS that involved wreck diving, PvE, exploration, PvP, puzzles and integrated functionality with the rest of the Eve universe. It covers everyone's needs. Even the anti-WiS guys can't argue with it. But the pro guys aren't supporting it... they want more empty rooms.
Don't get me wrong. One day, I want to have corp quarters one day where I can sit my character down after a roam and chat and laugh with corp mates... I am only going to dock up and do it over TS3 anyway. It would be nice to put down a few bets and play some of that risk style game for ISK whilst we chat. But, the first step has to be meaningful content first.
If you want WiS, then support the exploration prototype. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=161511

People need to stop making comparisons with second life for the walking in stations content. Saying that WiS would be like second life (a game with more subs and a faster expanding player base) is not helping your argument. If I could fly spaceships, scam people, build hostile empires with the beautiful graphics eve has on second life, then I would be playing second life.

Because, clearly, shoehorning some cheap clone of Second Life into EVE is going to make this game /so/ much better and contribute so much in terms of possibilities for emergent gameplay. You could, uh, block a passageway!
Because, clearly, taking something someone didn't say and pretending they said it adds sooo much value to your argument.
It doesn't need to be anything like second life. I'm saying people shouldn't be making the comparisons, because it's stupid. A bit like your last post. Besides, (although this is borderline heretical) second life probably has more emergent game play than Eve could ever hope to have.

Looks like you missed the point.... again.

a, capsuleers must die to transfer themselves into pod clones (FALSE)
Actually, this isn't true. If you read the officially sanctioned books you would know that in order to become a capsuleer your original human self must die. Otherwise I agree... Seeing the capsuleer inside their pod like some kind of cockpit did seem pretty odd.

Whilst I entirely appreciate the sentiment, the new stuff they have released aren't anything new. They have been done for a long time, but simply abandoned. You are right though. Why bother releasing it at all into a system they have said is completely on hold? It does seem incredibly hypocritical. Unless that means they actually want to start doing something with it. I bloody hope so.
