Eve can be many things, but a development team can only focus on one thing at a time. In 2010 I remember CCP announcing there would be no development on any other aspect of the game other than WIS / Incarna for the next 18 months. Sure they screwed up, but the real hatred for WIS is that everything else went out the window for an incredibly long time before CCP finally gave up on the project and that is why so many are against CCP trying to divert resources to it again. To all those people talking about WiS that was almost complete and then arbitrarily thrown out to start again on a new engine. Rubbish! WiS failed, for whatever reason they couldn't get it working. They gave up on it. What we got was a face saving exercise, which failed to do even that. CCP are never going to work on it again, but after so much time and effort wasted, they are too embarrassed to admit it. That is why no CCP employee has commented on this thread.
sounds legit,
CCP? (crickets)

It's a young thread, and one that might bring up quite emotional reactions memories from CCP staff.
Remember that when we got parts of a future game removed or delayed, they had friends who lost their jobs.
Someone got fired over walking in stations?

The arguments in favor of avatars still are the same now as they were in 2011:
- provide a immersive New Player Experience
- improve player attachment to the game
- optimize and exploit the resources spent in developing WoD
- gain female players
- enable vanity microtransactions
- expand EVE beyond its "cult" niche
And currently there's a few more:
- attract new players
- compete against a new generation of "classic" space games featuring avatars
- expand beyond its stagnant niche
Must be noted that all the above except the expansion can be achieved without additional gameplay. Must be noted too that the ongoing Hallelujah Plan does not adress any of the above.
Now. Since it doesn't look like we are getting any avatar based game play in the close future (which in EvE terms means not for then next 3-5 years) it either means that you have a better understanding of the market and/or are much smarter then CCP management. Or that they have other opinions and/or access to information that you don't have. Since I refuse to question your intelligence I think it comes down to the latter. I think it's just a lot to do with outsider arrogance, the whole "I could do way better than that" people have in all aspects of life (like who pot bellied guys who used to play football but never made it to college let alone the pros set around on sundays yelling at TV screens about what NFL players should have done on that last play  ). I couldn't keep my 1st marriage going for 10 years let alone keep an MMO worth millions of dollars with thousands of players. I think I'll reserve judgement about what CCP should be doing with it's properties lol. Quote:But one thing. Ishtanchuk Fazmarai wrote:

Is that really very wise? Isn't that what has kept EvE alive for 10 years, despite "EvE Killers" popping up every 6-12 months? If you are running a small but successful and commercially stable book shop focussed on a narrow but enthusiastic audience. Is going for wider audience always the best solution? Or could, for example, using what you have a try to create an another store focussing on a different but equally narrow audience be wiser? So much this.
Well, so much for getting more women involved in the game.
Honestly I like the station environment and it was fun making an Avatar. I think this game has better looking characters than most MMO's out there. Why not expand on something they already started? Does expanding a little on characters need to take anything away from the space ships?
Blowing things up in space is a blast though, just not sure how long it will be fun. Would be nice to blow up a hapless miner then go back for some drinks at the station bar with my pirate friends. Keep flying those retrievers

I would love to see more Avatar depth to the game. Spaceships are fun but don't really Immerse me. It would be fun to walk around more places in the station or on your ship and to meet others in a virtual sense. Just, playing a game , having a virtual beer together while we wait for our criminal tag to expire for another strike on retrievers.

I thought i read an article a month or so ago on a MMO site that mentioned CCP was going to make an MMO with heavy Avatar interaction. Can't remember if it was for EVE. Has anyone heard anything about CCP plans?
