Including the player base from dust + Eve + possible Valkyrie
Assume that it is possible when answering.
How does one do this? What would eve need? What should eve not do to achieve this?
I have thoughts but ill leave then till later if this thread gets any traction... For the moment I'm just curious as to what people think about it atm. |

well the larger the player base the greater the income and like wise the larger the budget, I would hope that'd accelerate eve evolution? |

I didn't say I wanted WoW players in particluar, I just wanted more players in general... I never have and never will play WoW for a reason (not saying I have anything against those that do)
I want ccp to get more money because if they had more, they could do more so that maybe some of the features in the idea generation stage comes out in 9 years instead of 10 :P
I'm thinking turn based strategy game or online trading cards... Geez, if something like pogs can take off - there must be something "silly" or even somewhat serious that Eve can do to pull a profit...
Besides, every endeavor they take serves as advertisement to draw in a bigger crowd... especially if you start interfacing with stores like walmart, bestbuy, shoppers exc. (im in Canada) |

I'm with everyone here that's telling ccp to keep quality a top priority and not cater to casual players like WoW did 100%
I'm more so focused on things to add that draw in a larger crowd
I don't think kongregate and mobile games are to be taken lightly
Like a 2D drilling game, someone sets up a PI drill and then releases contracts where people access it through a game on kongregate (NOM NOM NOM, I got a GEM! - you get isk to buy new gear and eve player gets gem - SIMPLIFIED)
There is little monster thingys you see at best buy where the kids put them on a device which uploads their unique code and lets them battle it out over the net... bit involved but it could be done with trading cards that also had an extended trial/ bonus items on it if they ever joined eve.
Tower defense and games are popular...
Strategy games could be over the net for a twist, defend and attack from stations with various viruses and anti-viruses or have people fight over lunar bases with each moon being a different server |

On the other hand if ccp ever finishes station environments... For an mmo feel...
Each character could lay traps a push, pull, damage over time, stun, instant damage - you have to spot them by eye and this is how players fight, be it against npcs or players (low-sec and below stations) and starts after they leave their chambers
if you die, you get an isk penalty or damage to items you have on you which u have to repair
You can find salvage and complete tasks to acquire items used at a crafting bench to improve your character |

As far as FPS combat goes: Not sure if that should be the focus of WiS... not at first, at least. Stations/corp offices and bars could just as well be social areas only, for starters.
What is WiS?
I don't disagree with stations being social areas, just trying to give wow and GW2 players something that feels like home so they will turn to the darks side :P that and i'd leave first person shooter to dust, the last thing id want is to take any of dusts thunder... it doesn't have much atm in the global community |

I'm assuming this is not WiS... https://www.google.ca/search?q=WiS&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:%7Breferrer:source%7D&ie=UTF-8&oe=&gws_rd=cr&ei=pL4zUtzMB4L62QWeuYGgBg
I think this thread is becoming too narrow minded, I stated WoW as a baseline for a player count comparison as I'm under the impression that they have the largest. What I'm asking is how to pull more players into the Eve Universe from the planet earth and though that may include allot of WoW players, it is in no means limited to it. When compared to the world, WoW is quite small and there is always the new generations coming after us old farts to think about snagging.
Major trials of eve that keeps players out:
1. It's not well known
2. It's hard, especially starting out
3. It is pay to play even with the plex system
4. It is limited to PC and PS3 (atm PS4 is suspected of being backwards incompatible and no one from ccp or playstation has confirmed dusts future compatibility)
5. Requires large commitments
6. Lacks many of the features typical mmo's that players are attracted to |

If ccp doesn't want more players, why was dust created? I can only see it as an assault on call of duty's market and other games of that genre.
Hmm... getting more players in the game is a bad thing cause we may pick up more whinners and experience more lag? Worst excuses ever, so what if those come? Blow em up and perform some "cognitive re-calibration"
I could never see more players in game as a bad thing... Sure they may change the game being that they are new players with new ideas but we have no more reason to deny their attempts then what we attempt to do ourselves.
This almost seems like xenophobism but instead of a country it's other gaming cultures. |
