I've been waiting for this since they originally announced it. The ability to have an Avatar that could interact with other toons would be a boon for the RPing community.
I could see special player events that could start out in stations, and lead into space.
We could have player sponsored poker tournaments. (in game, not some side website)
It could be an additional resource for recruitment of new players. I know of a handful of MMORPG players that avoid EvE simply because they can't walk in stations. These same folks love to PvP, craft, and RP. However they won't commit to a game that only has the PvP and crafting. The fact that I can't them to try EvE due to the lack of a walking avatar is frustrating as hell.
Besides I'd love to be able to sit cloak spinning instead of ship spinning any day. |

It's a game about blowing ships up in space. Focus on that, not some useless feature. Incarna was a horrid expansion; alot of dev time and resources dedicated to catering to the RMT crowd, and the game suffered heavily as a result.
For you, EvE is about blowing up ships in space. By that argument they shouldn't have industry, because I don't engage in it, and see it as a waste of resources. (you could simply seed the market with NPC built ships) Just because some folks wouldn't use the feature, doesn't mean it would not make EvE a more inviting place for more players.
I for one, would like to see new things in the game. As someone with 130+ mil SP, adding "new" destroyers to the game is a total lack of development resources imho, nor do I see it as "new" content. However, I can see what player demographic CCP is attempting to appease with these additions. I'd just like to see CCP look at adding some content to the other player types (other than pure PvPers). The Roleplaying community is HUGE in the MMORPG community.
I'd also bet that as soon as alliances can custom paint their ships, many large alliances will be bucking up to do so, and the RMT crowd will grow significantly. |
