Read what CCP has said about it. For people to socialize in ambulation there needs to be a reason to enter the station. They've already said that there will be no reason other than socialization to enter the station. People can already socialize instantly to anyone anywhere on the server. Why would I fly somewhere to talk to someone when I can just start a convo from where I am? If we happen to be in the same station why would I spent the time walking to their location to talk to them when again I can just start a convo?
I think the only reason they add socializing through ambulation is to attract people who play Second Life.
Unless we can have weapons, and occasionally blast people and take their stuff in station, or make isk by some game mechanic in station (I don't even care if it's exotic dancing for isk), then I won't BE in station.
That, and look at our character pics. Truly, most of us are hideous beyond belief. I hardly want to walk in stations and have to see that all the time. ------------------
Let me show you around. That's my lab table, and this is my workstool. And over there is my intergalactic spaceship. And here's where I keep assorted lengths of wire.

Upload your map image, and you can all talk about it. ------------------

Originally by: 000Hunter000 Can't really believe people are against it, it's free, it won't cost u a dime and u don't HAVE to use it.
If it increases lag for other parts of the game, I'm against it. ------------------

Originally by: WulfWestphal well, tbh, if you have to ask, you would'nt understand my point. :) as i said: immersion, probably RP. a nice break from heated spacebattles. something to do if im waiting for someone (now im just spinning my ship in the hangar... you all know how it is :) ). things like this.
edit: and ambulation is not about the map. stop drooling over it. ;)
No, it's about looking like a ninja, or looking like a waitress at Hooters in anime clothing.
If you're unlucky, 12 year old kids will do the nasty to you just like they do in Call of Duty right now.
CCP has said it is for socialization only. Fine.
But it's going to consume server resources.
If it causes other things to lag, I will be against it. ------------------

It's kind of like the underwear gnomes in South Park, except that the business plan is:
1. Implement ambulation. 2. ... 3. Profit!

Ok, I'll bite.
When they put in ambulation, I'll be sure to spill drinks on other people, and pretend to dance and do all the ridiculous stuff I've seen far too many "experienced" people do in Second Life. ------------------

Originally by: Disteeler Edited by: Disteeler on 24/01/2008 20:22:49 What you seems to be telling us is that EvE is not meant to played the "ambulation" way. And that is the first real flawed argument here. EvE can be played in lots of ways, it's a sandbox mmo, it's easy to realize this. Look! there is ppl roleplaying in the summit forum, and some of them chat ten times more time than actually fight, trade, haul, etc. Or look, there are even diplomats!
Ambulation is just an extension, a tool, for those that need more to achieve what they want. Saying is "flawed" with your argumentation is just arrogant and futile.
Because of what the devs have said, saying that ambulation will be anything except socialization is futile. Saying it will allow you to fight, trade, etc., is futile.
It will be chatting, with moving avatars. That's it. Nothing more. ------------------

Originally by: LT Mace has anyone ever thought the possibility of wandering through your hangar? or corp hanger? going into your corporations office and paying bills?
Yes I have. It's the core of the problem with ambu.
Current system: Open wallet. pay bill.
Your proposal: Fly to system with hanger. Walk to office. Walk to bill pay interface. Pay bill.
Why would people spend more time to perform the same action? They might once for novelty.
As for your PvP comments they've already said no fighting in ambu.
They said no fighting is the first incarnation of Ambulation.
No, it's no fighting period. No activity in ambulation other than socialization - that's the plan.
So it's Second Life in space stations, without the ability to obscenely dry hump the other characters in the room. ------------------

I understand the roleplaying aspect. I just think that will be ruined by the 12 year olds who want to dry hump your character (just like they do in Call of Duty). ------------------

Originally by: Missy X I would just like to take this opportunity to reiterate how excellent ambulation is going to be.
Ambulation is going to be excellent.
Thank you.
Especially where the 12 year old players do to us what they do on Call of Duty... **obscene mental image redacted**  ------------------

Originally by: Janu Hull yeah, seen all that in SWG. Watched a bunch of kiddies simulate a r@pe on an incapacitated female toon by spamming drop to prone on her. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Hence, my objection to ambulation... ------------------

Originally by: Marcus Druallis What's your biggest fear about Ambu then? People playing human "slide-by-eachother" bumper cars?
No, people being colossally stupid.
If people want that kind of stupidity, they can go play Second Life. ------------------
