We will be having atmospheres on planets (see videos below) but will we be able to walk on them in the future? If so, does anyone know how long this will take to develop?

the atmospheric flight demo is at least a year old now i think, it seems that its taken a back seat to walking in stations.
my bet:
walking in stations - late 2007 / early 2008
atmospheric flight (IF they still want to do it) - early / mid 2008
conquerable planets, RTS style surface battles.... 2012? 
it would be really nice to hear from the devs if this is even something on a very far off ideas drawingboard, or if they've decided on anouther direction completeley.

It's far older than a year, it's either canned or shelved or something in between.

More like when Duke Nukem Forever comes out of development hell. Which IIRC somewhere around, in May of 3017.

Yes, can we have a GM speak about atmospheric flights and fights.
If they do not want to give details, at least tell us if we can expect it within 24 month or not at all...

I too think CCP should tell us more of the long-term plans, beyond space station ambulation.
If they did this, I would increase my subscription renewal date from 3-months to 1-year.

Have a look at the Drawingboard. It should give you a heads-up on which direction they are going. I doubt anyone from CCP can get any more specific about the future.

My guess: Walking on Planets will take place two to three years after walking on stations is introduced.

Planet-side RTS combat in a 2012? It takes 5 years to make a game now?
I think whatever they do planet-side should look like WoW and play like Eve.
They could even sell it as a separate expansion.
2 years tops if they put their minds to it.

I saw that second video and was really impressed. It would be kind of cool, but I don't see much use for it at the moment. The EVE universe is just too large with just too few people to inhabit the worlds very well. If millions of people played eve, it would ROCK to have different capturable planets....

I have to say even with mid 30,000 people playing the game EVE is too SMALL...

That's kind of correct now...yea. Production slows down on MMOs after they're released and new stuff rarely gets introduced without having to purchase an expansion pack.
You see...investors treat games like a product life-cycle. This would be the reason why some games die out over time. Investors have ponied up money for development and now want to "milk" their profits as much as they can without sinking too much more into the game. Thus the game declines.
This game hasn't declined at all and I hope won't because I just started playing it. Hopefully, if EVE continues with regular updates, then consumers (players) will continue to see value and the game will expand and not shrink like games such as SWG has done.

Actually, I was going to say that it hasn't declined at all...instead it has expanded.
But...buggy forums say "this thread does not exist," when I try to edit so I guess I was never here...

30000 people play eve, half of which are carebears, a quarter hog 0.0 space under the names BoB and IAC (curse them!) and the last quarter either pop miners in low sec or hide in jita, its just lack of people that makes it seem so small, i realise there's no such thing as a fair fight, that's whats so fun about 0.0 gate camping, but it would be better if there was more resistance, more fun for the alliances that get bored of doin camps cos BoB puts an end to anything interesting, (curse them again >.<)

Actually, StarCraft: Ghost, Duke Nukem Forever, and planet surface interaction / warfare are all slated to be released December 22, 2012.

Walking on planets... hmmm. Let me thing why would i want to do that... I fly spaceships with great protection system or sit in the safety off a battlestation. Why would i want to walk on a planet which some idiot can masacre with a DDD(DoomsDay Device). Or some idiot could crash on top off me. Nah.. i'll stay in space. Because im sure some Minmatar Terrorist would do something to me. Because im a soldier for the Empire, the Emporer and God.

Enh, it's still a vaguely pertinent topic, and it's not like it's a necrobump from 2k3. I give it a pass.
It also gets bonus points for not being about BoB, Goons, or CCP corruption.

Id love to see a mixture of atmospheres on planets and houseing...i saw on the Drawingboard page they have an idea of....
Individual Player Structures (aka "Housing")
Allowing individual players to buy, anchor and maintain their own housing module would enrich the EVE universe and serve as an easy bottom rung on the Starbase-ownership ladder. This could of course open up a whole can of worms, so weÆre proceeding with caution here.
this would be a great idea for settling on a planet surface and setting up your own home and landing pad......im kinda sick of station docking,.....would be nice to find a planet and settle there...lol...maybe each planet could have its own server....lol...just an idea CCP;)

I only wish, oh how i wish, that i could one day test out those planetary vehicles. Bet they go fast.
Can i have one on a station?
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

what about targetting a walking target from sitting in your hanger in a crow as he gets out his ship, letting off a volley of light precisions and LMAO'ing as he runs to save his plants.

Haha, Wrangler must have something like 90% dodge. Oh wait that is WoW, not EVE. This is not WoW this is EVE. If you want to go walk around in something go play WoW or LORTO or Vanguard. Don't make EVE into WoW.

You know, in my own little world of what I'd personally like to see in EVE there is room for planetary flight and planetary bases, and in that fantasy of mine you should be able to walk around these bases, just as you will be able to walk in stations. But that's just me. 
As for what the future plans we actually have are, no clue, this feels so far in the future we might not have any plans...
