Shortly after wormholes came to the game, a dev (CCP Dropbear ?) made a comment that there was 'content' ready to be added to the game, but it depended on capsuleers 'discovering' certain un-named things in the game in in order to trigger the additional content.
I asked about this some time later in a forum post , but never received an answer from CCP.
I ended up taking a year-long sabbatical from the game, and having been back for a while now, I can't see where the situation has changed regarding this particular thing, so I will ask the question again:
Does the 'hidden', undiscovered content still exist in the game, waiting to be properly interacted with, or has that concept been abandoned with the departure of the dev who was working on it?
Thanks in advance for a definitive answer from a CCP dev.

well, there are new c-ck ring type structures around jump gates. When interpreting CCP correctly this could have very well been those "hidden, undiscovered content" you are referring too. I mean, after the patch with the new c-ck rings would have been introduced, it would be still hidden and undisclosed until the first guy jumped into a system that had them. I strongly believe that this is how CCP refers to "hidden undiscovered content". |

The undiscovered things in game are merely strings attached to CCP's wrists and have goons controlling from the other end.

It goes deeper than that. There are strings attached to our wrists, but who controls those? This post was lovingly crafted by a member of the Goonwaffe Posting Cabal, proud member of the popular gay hookup site somethingawful.com, Spelling Bee & Grammar Gestapo. |

Since content in EVE is mostly player generated, "hidden content" is likely just CCP code for: Suprise butt secks. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

To answer directly, since I was following the same path years back (since the whole storyline and discussion wen active), it looks like the storyline has been abandoned.
Why I think it's abandoned? Well, there were some containers in the W-Space site called "The Mirror" which could not be opened. The whole storyline, when it was active, revolved around two sites: "Oruze Osobnyk" and "The Mirror". As far as I know, "Oruze Osobnyk" was decyphered by the community at that time (3-4 years ago), but The Mirror, its meaning, purpose and those containers that could not be opened directly were left as a mystery.
I have checked The Mirror earlier this year and I noticed that the containers were no longer there (they are not seeded with the complex any more). o.0 |

My memory is failing me on the exact comments, but this was brought up at the 2013 Fanfest Wormhole round table.
In short the narrative was supposed to be continued, but after Apoc. teams were shuffled, people left CCP and wormholes fell foul of the same slow narrative the rest of the game has. Hidden content was asked about, but the devs that were there didn't know anything about it and said they were fairly sure the players 'know' everything about WH space currently.
I'm 99% sure it was Dropbear, but there was someone who handled the narrative for wormholes and had big plans for it. They no longer work at CCP though.
You need to keep in mind the devs who currently work on wormholes are different to the ones when Apoc. was released. Anything that needed 'activating' on CCPs side is almost certainly dead. |

So as much as I know is as useless as the rest of the information, but it alluded to pod pilots discovering how to open wormholes themselves.
Assumed it was not followed up on causing me to lose all interest in scanning and discovery type operations.
I have to believe that this content will eventually be released as player built gates. Where will they lead to? Can't be k-space as that's just terribly bad an idea. 9000 gates to jita two seconds later is the result of that.
To wormholes? Probably the best use of current systems.
To new space where sov is unpossible sounds lovely but without agents and stations, going to be the biggest over nerf of something since the removal of area effect doomsday however, it will affect everyone, not just the elite Titan pilots
So like you, I'm left guessing (probably wildly) in the hope that there are more levels to this game than PVP and PVE (meta gaming is not interesting or different level either. It's a practice of fools with too much time and not enough desire for entertainment). *signature is not allowed on the EVE Online forums* |

Nope... The null blob does not have its place in W-Space. It would be a death sentence to most of the W-Space corps/alliances.

Drop Bear took all his 'plots' with him when he left, so all his storylines he was running died a very sudden death. Players just kept CPR going for a long time making it seem they had a chance.
I'm undecided if this was a good thing or a bad thing, as I have feelings both ways. |

There have been a good many logical responses that the 'plot' was dropped when the particular dev responsible left CCP, but as I requested in the OP, it would be nice for a definitive response from CCP directly.
Is the 'plot' still alive, just a "yes" or "no"; no details, is all I ask.
Or do I ask too much? |

If you don't get a response in this thread from a dev, I'd advise you to join https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Arek'Jaalan:_Mailing_List_Archive
as this is the most hardcore role-playing group that follows the whole plot and the whole project was started by CCP. If any new situation development would be made, this mailing list would know first.
While you wait, you can visit the project's headquarters in Eram system (Minmatar highsec). You can find some pretty interesting stuff there. Also: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Arek'Jaalan
