In the last months CCP gave us a lot of confusing info about the future of WiS.
I think that the players (also just-FiS supporters) deserve at least to know exactly what's going on.

I'm sure there is other, more detailed info but the short version is that it's on the back-burner while they focus on the core-game. Don't expect anything for a while (ie, a year+).

They will now only release what was already finished or mostly finished slowly over time and only invest minor resources in going further down the development path they already had planned with full resources.
I doubt it'll get offlined completely.

Funny how easy is to manipulate the players; just few FiS stuffs that was probably already in devolepment, a letter from the CEO, and everybody stop complainin about the lack of communication/content. |

Confirmed troll thread.
CSM do you think?
No matter the changes, high sec people chose the safests. Lots of stick and they will leave. Half the problem is the players in null sec; we do not want to be there with you. |

I think we're getting a Christmas tree in our CQs for (you guessed it) Christmas. That's the near future. We may be getting one every year, if you wanted something more long term... |

Yeah damn those guys for communicating more and giving players what they have been asking for.

There's a significant part of players asking for related-WiS content/info, communicating more doesn't mean communicating enough. |

There really aren't very many but if you honestly think there's a huge number of people out there who are desperate for Dolly Dressup and the microtransaction super store then get all of them together and cancel your accounts. If enough of you do this it will do a lot more to convince CCP than posting endless threads about it. I suspect that the number of cancellations will comfortably fit in the usual monthly churn rate.

It's been made fairly clear to me that WiS on a large scale (read: lage enough scale that its supporters would approve of) just isn't possible with today's hardware and their models.
That tells me one thing: it's a long, long time away. |

Barbiephobic huh?
Did i talk about people disperate about WiS and "micro"transaction?
Well, if you think that, to get an answer about WiS future, players need to cancel their accounts, you must agree with me that there is still lack of communication.

The last official word is that WiS is "on ice indefinitely". We were told this is because CCP has determined that the players don't want it and CCP couldn't see how to make it compelling. Both of these statements are easily refuted.
I expect what really happened is it became clear CCP's bet on the Carbon engine for WoD proved impossible to deploy for scaling reasons. That is what killed WoD and as collateral damage WiS.
A strong case for that being the real reason is at no time did we ever see a multiple character in a room at once implemetation on the test server or even a video of something like that wih lots of charcters at once and I believe that same is true for WoD.
Personally I'd would like to see CCP put a small team on WiS V 2.0 based on the engine they are using for Dust. At least we know that scales and is deployable commercially.
If you looked forward to WiS and still want it worked on please post your support in the "Some of us Still Want WiS" thread.

Sorry but I can't agree with you. Communication about things that actually matter has been fantastic recently.

The universe does not revolve around you. Believe it or not, there are others who play Eve for different reasons than you. That means not everyone sits on a TS server making racist jokes while watching little red squares vanish from the zoomed out UI. Some people would like to interact with other players in a different manner. To me WiS done right would be a great ADDITION to the game to be able to meet up with other players outside the ships, to be able to sell them goods and services, to plot and spy on them (I know plotting and spying WITHIN THE GAME is a foreign concept to a goon but, bear with me). If you and your like-minded friends had an iota of maturity or common reasoning abilities you'd understand that CCP's expansion of the game to make it meet with what they've said all along was their vision; to create a total, immersive, sci-fi simulation would not have to change your play. If CCP had done it right and not rushed it out the door, you'd be able to do your grinding and botting thing without ever seeing a station interior. Sadly, they didn't do it right and made CQ mandatory which would have failed even if it had been totally bug free because there clearly is a segment of players who don't want it.
You and your like don't speak for the majority. Don't imagine yourself omniscient. You could at least be respectful and not call names or deride those of us who want a more immersive game experience. Luckily for you lot, and for CCP, most people aren't knee-jerk reactionaries. Most of us who do want WiS/CQ fixed and expanded are rational adults, not crying kids who scream and bully to get our way. We'll simply get fed up and go, taking our money with us.
If you continue to deny CCP the ability to expand Eve beyond it's current VERY niche appeal or to find other ways of growing revenues beyond subscription fees you'll be left to shoot each other in a stagnant and struggling MMO with decreasing numbers to support continued development. Your arrogance and myopia are breathtaking. Hope you enjoy what you've got while it lasts. |

It seems that the little bees know quite a bit about this second life game.
Does SA have a corp/guild/faction there as well?
