Ok. If you say so.
You haven't played it, I take it?

It isn't the graphics, it is the promis they are making. And if they can maintain those promises with the same level as the hype is, then it will make Eve, old.

CCP started working on the next step in there grand space sim, (WIS) and got unholy rage about over priced vanity items.

You people are like little kids, getting easily manipulated by fancy graphics.

When I started playing EVE in 2008 they were still talking about a grand vision like that. Now it seems that it's endgame null fleet online only.

Don't feel too bad, but people still are playing X3: Albion Prelude, which is a DLC for X3: Terran Conflict, which was a DLC based on the massive X-Tended mod 0.7 for X3: Reunion.

So essentially people has been playing X3 for 7 years, and some have bought it 3 times (original + TC + AP).

Also, 6 years later, the trailer for X-Tended mod 0.7 still is one of the best you will see in your life.

How is Xrebirth different to Mass Effect? It's a single player game, you make decisions that change the course of the plot. The NPCs are only smart enough to buy/sell, I wonder how many of them were adventurers like you until they took an arrow to the knee?

All I saw in that video was a lot of graphical noise. There was no indication of plot, the NPCs can't shoot straight, and most of the action seems to be stick-piloting a space fighter. We had plenty of that in Elite, last Century.

This.

I remember watching fanfest videos online, great thoughts about WIS and Planetary flight and whatnot..

Planetary flight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pg1dzAvL2M

That video was released... SEVEN.. YEARS.. AGO.

The list of great features that never happened is loooong and like you said.. the null people with the same amount of life irl are sadly the ones who get their voices heard here on the forums.

Nothing compared to EVE's uber-deep "set up line, feed minerals, wait", as you may notice. But don't take my word for it. Just see it yourself with this fancy production spreadsheet.

Does X have seasonal goods like Star Wars Galaxies used to have when it wasn't broken by Sony's NGE?

Planetary flight was intended as a joke. There never ever were any plans nor ideas about implementing it.

It wasn't just about overpriced vanity items. There was:

• Nothing new in FiS
• the promise of walking in stations, we got walking in shoebox
• the only shoebox we got was the minmatar one
• the graphics causing video cards to melt while displaying one character in one room
• the talk of "Pay 2 Win" stuff like paying real money for gold ammo
• the talk of "concierge" items such as more saved fittings

If you think the Summer of Rage was just about monocles, you weren't paying attention.

Citation needed.

There are no citations as far as I know. But the fact that it was a single video relased during Fanfest 7 years ago and CCP has not talked about it never again should be a clue. According to EVE pundits, it was a teaser/joke related to Planetary Interaction and never were any plans to actually implement it.

But don't hesitate to contact CCP devs and get a citation.

At FanFest 2004, we announced planetary flight would be in the Kali expansion and even gave a 'proof of concept' demonstration. However, we spoke a little bit too soon. The Devs took a further look into coding planetary flight and everything it entailed. The coding and server resources were deemed too heavy to include in Kali and delayed.

Planetary flight will be added to EVE. However, its inclusion has been determined worthy of its own expansion. While this is subject to change, I would guess that planetary flight will be in the expansion after Kali.

So it's on the to do list after all eh?
