After reading Torfi Frans DEV Blog the amount of excitement I got was unreal. EVE within its self is already a great game graphics wise & game play. The ability to walk around in a station would be awesome! The one thing that kind of bummed me out while reading on through the blog was Torfi never mentioned anything about being able to walk around on our shipsà Could you imagine being able to look out your window in a human sized scale and seeing how big your ship really is to you, or a station for that matter! I found a post by ôReynö with his comments on the DEV blog as well and I completely agree with him on the last part of his post.
Reyns last two paragraphsà
Other things impress me about the idea as well. If as much work goes into the project as Torfi suggests, it would be safe to assume that scaling would be accurate. By scaling, I mean the comparative size of us to a ship, or a station. Picture this, if you would - you dock in your Raven, Megathron, Hulk, or even a shuttle. You unplug yourself, hop out onto the surface of the docking bay, and look up at your ship. I don't know if this will be possible, but the thought of looking at your ship, and its size compared to you, then the size of the hanger you're in - impressive!!
Or, imagine being able to look out a window, and see ships cruising by. Even if it's just plain, boring old Concord, I could happily sit for hours watching them go past. Being able to actually look at the ammo you're buying, the rock you've just mined, or sitting sipping a beer and perusing the market from your bar stool. ****ing awesome!!
Also here is a link to his thoughts. http://www.eve-tribune.com/index.php?no=1_24&page=1
Anyways I hope they do not just make it so we get off our ship and we walk out a door and cant see our ship! If you dock and your sitting in the hanger like we do nowà if they add a button to leave the ship it should either just beam us down or a door opensà and we walk offà
I understand we are in PODÆs but maybe itÆs time to re-think the pods maybe the ship should have a crew and youÆre the captain and your POD is just your bridge =] Something so we can walk around the ship would be extremely coolà Also lets think about thatà you are walking in your ship and your corp. members can board too and have meetings in rooms on your shipà now letÆs say a red comes along and sneaks up and boards the ship UH OH COMBAT in the halls of my ship?!?!?!? Madness!!! Either way I am looking forward to this new EVE feel!
Hopefully we will be seeing our ships to scale and walking around the halls of theses massive combat machines.

saw the post that it is not coming in 2009 Winter Patch.
oh well. I will have to wait.
As I use EVE as a social tool, Walking In Station would be a big bonus for me.

It's a shame you don't use EVE as a tool to show off you e-peen because then the planned winter expansion would have been great for you.

having read the blog, i thought this is stunning stuff, however i play in the eve world in space as a piloted ship, not as a toon character, i would be pleased to see my animated piloted self, instead of my current ship, if a contract was accepted my character would say so instead of the female voice.but TBH anything that enhanced my eve life, would be welcome....keep up the good work guyz..

with regard to interaction of npcs etc.
I would hope that this would not be "forced" upon those that did not one to participate in this kind of game-within-a-game.
Id much rather click my science screen button and set some research jobs, then walk down mils of hallways, through airlocks, accross a hanger deck and into a science lab, talk to a Scientist and ask him/her to "work on researching another ME point please..."
Im not saying don't do it, im saying allow us to choose either path, is all...
thats covered in the blog, and no you can be as quick as before
but we'll see..
i was sceptical before, but theyre seriously doing it so :P might be good
im not gonna beat down doors until its actually ready

Like a lot of people and 100% of my friends and myself that is playing and that has their account paused is waiting for WIS, and that is the only thing they really feel is the missing key when it comes to Eve Online.
As most people, including myself, we need something to relate to when playing a game, and that is an avatar. Be it something like a human form or something fantasy based, of course a lot of people in Eve Online loves see their spaceship instead of an avatar as that's why they play it(as some says, if you want to run around as an avatar play WoW instead). But I feel that when WIS hits the server, I bet the increase of subscriptions will be more then this game has ever seen(I guess that means more food to pirates?).
I can't wait til WIS comes out

I think having the ability to actually "pilot" (ala Freelancer/Descent) a ship when in certain missions would bring more people in than WIS. A good portion of the Descent and Freelancer community don't like Eve because of the piloting (not including spiraling for sake of argument). WIS will be a boon for people that don't undock, but for the people that PvP it seems like a huge waste of resources for a very small gain. People shouldn't be spending all of their time in stations anyway, so hopefully they are working on things that will increase revenue and not things to make station dwellers excited. Yes, this character is a station dweller, but I am never on this character.

WIS is the next logical step for EvE, in fact WIS is crucial to ensure the long term viability of the game. Some people are just going to have to accept that an actual avatar, in the classical sense, is what is ingrained into the VAST majority of the MMORPG gamers mindset.
Regardless of what people say about EvE, how awesome & how in-depth it may be there are still a majority of individuals who cannot see past their avatar and thus refuse to even try it out.
This is a volatile industry, and the simple fact is the more subscribers EvE has, the more it is certain to succeed in the very long term. And the ONE feature, the single thing that has the potential to bring in that mass market, those $$$ that CCP needs to survive in the long term, WILL come from WIS.
Like it or not, WIS guarantees the future of EvE Online.

So are instances, shards, and leveling.
Just because most companies do something does not mean all companies in that market should do the same. This whole 'customers play X, so they expect X, so we must do X too!' kills an industry and alienates paying customers.
EVE's long term viability is not going to be based on how well it does what everyone else is doing. It is going to be based on how well it does what it does differently. The more it tries to be like other MMORPGs, the worse it will do.
WIS is like adding a comedy sidekick to a movie, or sexing up your female lead. Everyone seems to do it, but if you do not do it really well the coping just ends up hurting more then helping. Or more accurately, it almost never works. And just like those marketing ploys, WIS is just too disjoint from the rest of EVE to work in well. After the 'wow boobies!' novelty wears off people will get bored with it quickly or go play other games that the avatar based system is their focus.
With any luck, WIS will die a quiet death and CCP can focus its resources on features that actually enhance the core game, rather then tacking on a half-assed second game.

I appreciate your perspective. However, CCP have a wonderful habit of taking established ideas and constructs and turning them on their head through unique implementation. I have no doubt that WIS will be sufficiently "unique" and "different" enough from the established idea of what an avatar based environment is typically like to satisfy both the doubters and the supporters of WIS.

i think when walking in station will come, we will see it like this, in empire in the npc stations there will be only walking around, and chatting, doing conferences, looking into shops and bars, but all safe.
pvp inside stations will only be possible in a new kind of station that are similar to npc stations, but runned by players, that have those stations placed in lowsec or .0 space.
those stations will then have inside the same stuff like the normal npc stations, but different security zones inside.
all vital parts of station are ofc max security, but other public parts are not, so kind of blackops maneuvers or ganking the guy who ganked you outside should be possible then as example. stuff like the personal hangar are then up to the players to secure them, means ofc new stuff implented and new skills. and yeah you will need threat detectors with ya too because no one can look around always paranoid.
but hey, many ppl are mean and all those talk about that its part of the game, now they should be consequent and accept that too.
for those who scream about getting robbed or ripped, that will not be possible, its just the pew pew part, otherwise it would be impossible to play eve anymore.

More details on WIS would really help with this. So far all I have heard is 'off the shelf virtual meeting software with really cool graphics' and lots of talk about the technology behind it. But actual functionality? That have heard very little on. And while pretty tech is cool, if you don't have gameplay to back it up the novelty wears off REALLY quickly.
Though on a related note. Wasn't WIS a spin off from a joint project to build a vampire game with whitewolf? I have not heard much on that front lately other then a tentative date of 2010. So unless that project gets canceled I imagine WIS will be backported AFTER that goes online. Given that even the initial timeline for the whitewolf game was '4-5 years', it is not surprising that EVE does not have WIS yet.

I see WiS as the first step for *** (Walking on Planets). That's what really what would interest me. Now CCP should go buy the rights of a certain game off Microsoft, so we can fit the vehicle we are going to use planetside with PPCs and Railguns.
I'll quote the phrase that always excited me when I played the old versions: "Reactor Online. Weapons Online".

I'm looking forward to Walking In Stations. It'll be a great expansion to the game, something more to do and experience in addition to all the things we like already. Crafting, bars, hired npcs, it will just make it more fun. I like great visuals in games, and if EVE implements those it will just make me want to play more.
Another thing I would like to see implemented is spaceports on planets. It would be easy to do, just create a station environment with a city skyline or a natural landscape. Making match the importance / significance of the planet would do alot for immersion and appreciation of the setting. A little more coding would make it possible to see other players' ships landing and taking off as they enter and leave the station.

it ain't gonna happen and even if, God forbids, does happen, it will be a simulacrum.
To be honest, I do not see why all this major hype about WIS. It's freaking useless under normal circumstances unless if, that is gonna make a MAJOR impact on the game play .

i say in the end you all will love it. it is not an improvement for pvp or the feeling of piloting a spaceship, but it will give so much more depth to eve universe and the game experience. leaving your ship and acutally walking around will be a great improvement.
its ridiculous that ppl can stop complaining. try to adept to the game development. noone want to hear your weeping. and old chinese saying is: IF YOU DONT LIK YOU DONT BUY! ;)
