revelant and has former dev/gm dude opening talking about how ccp works on these things and great read about the death of the vampire mmo that blames incarnia (WiS)

All go read that who have never yet. It has a former dev/gm opening discussing a lot of the terrible business practices of ccp and why things like WiS actually killed the vampire MMO and almost killed Eve.

Also im sure Dust/valkiry/occulus rift are just repeating this history. Oh well you live and learn... or ya dont

OK I'll try again.

The issue isn't about what people want. I personally would be delighted to see meaingful avatar gameplay added to EVE, The possibilities of literally adding a new dimension to the game are enormous. Done right, it would pull EVE to the next level.

The issue is that CCP clearly lacks the technical chops, the the organisational talent and above all the financial resources to produce WiS done right. CCP's now significantly reduced (from 2011 levels) resources are now wholly focused on what they know for sure works at bring in money in because they're unable to do anything else. Not saying CCP is dying, but they're certainly walking a tightrope, and every erg of dev resource they can muster is fully committed for a minum of 2 years.

It's a shame, but that's the evident truth. Making puppy eyes and saying in your cutest voice oh pwwwwease won't change that. Holding your breath. Won't change that. Throwing a tantrum won't change that.

There comes a point where persistent optimism in the face of obstacles becomes blind stupidity in the face of obvious facts. The WiSwhine threads have long since past that point.
