They just didn't deliver what they promised many moons ago. What we received was one captain's quarter at the time (gallente if I recall) and when they first announced WIS they talked about social areas for players, bars, mini games etc etc. and the dev team was light years away from developing it. On top of that they just gave players CQ's instead of players earning through some game mechanic or purchasing it through in game isk. Poorly planned if you ask me but could of been amazing |

Poorly planned if you ask me but could of been amazing  Could HAVE been amazing? People speculating on this forum isn't CCP saying they're doing something. All of the above talk was from this forum. There is NO evidence CCP told the world they were going to create a game within a game, bars/social areas...just didn't happen. NOR was the idea of purchasing the Officers Quarters ever mentioned or even considered. The idea, you think it's neat you buy something so you're special? Go play LOTRO. All of this had to do with a few vocal idiots clamboring for something they think would be "cool" that most EVE players tried to slap down as silly, "Hey! Why can't we walk in stations?." It's the same people in LOTRO who want eagles for mounts, cause they saw a movie. "Hey. Devs OWE us THAT!" (Want an example of player suggestions leading a game to ruin, try LOTRO's mounted combat.) CCP never went THAT far. Geez. CCP brought in the new character creator, and toyed with the idea of expanding it - it never got off the drawing board. Let's see, we have a few more mega-tons of bandwidth left for the revisionists of history. Y'all, what's the hold up?
Slight overkill on the LOTRO analogy. And yes, they had pictures and even had a video of open areas and bars (social areas for players) when they first started talking about WIS and showed it to the players years ago. If I recall correctly they hinted at the idea of gambling with in-game isk with your so called 'game within a game' mechanic.

No need to invent the wheel: out of all games the best holographic info-companion is in Defiance, it would be enough just to copy its behavior and outlook (hi-tech ghost). However I imagine it will be extremely expensive to create (by CCP's standards): it requires articulation and speech-related animations - not to trigger uncanny valley.
Just downloaded Defiance. Can't believe the game is 16GB  |

Why would you need one in your CQ when we already have flying unicorns pretending to mine? |

On the other hand there was an concept of leaving your spaceship to search abandoned space stations/mining outposts where you could find resources (for implants perhaps) and would run ino other players so you probably end up fighting over the loot. That was shelved because it is/was? too big of a project to chew on for CCP. However with the new development cycle who knows if they aren't working on that right now and maybe, maybe we might someday board the new drifter stations. Define meaningful. Arguably more of the game is the meta, it's what we do with the tools available to us. I always though that being able to have WiS, we could have other ways to socially interact beyond text and voice. As for too big a project, on the side of EVE right now, they are working on a PC version of dust and a VR based combat flight sim. I'm sure once those are out they would easily have enough capacity to work on something like WiS.
Are they truly working on a PC version of Dust514? If that is true that's awesome! I did voice my opinion with them launching it for playstation3 in favor of PC many moons ago. Hopefully they will aim small with maps and content allowing it to expand with popularity instead of something big filling in the holes. Hopefully they'll get rid of the training times to allow just plain fun with the FPS ground game while gaining Loyalty points and isk for FW players. |

It would be interesting to see how they generate content. The obvious and probably the easiest is mission runners: Go speak to "xyz at xyz station, you'll find him at the bar."
Also purchasing a drink will give you -20% velocity but +10 percent armor for 1hour.=ƒì+=ƒì+=ƒì¦=ƒì+
That is of course WIS ever comes back to the table for discussion there at CCP.
