So I don't know about everyone else, but I was pretty pumped when I heard the announcement. It was one of the primary things I wished we could do in EVE (now we just need some planetary exploration and I seriously would give up on real life, haha).
Unfortunately, my excitement was soon extinguished when I read that it would only be available to Vista members (directx 10). Are they really going to leave, what I think would be, the majority of us who have XP machines or those not capable of directx10 in the dark? I am curious as to why they would do this.
Any thoughts? Or perhaps I missed something?
Thanks

Question has been asked many times on this forum, each time it gets the same answer. Walking in stations will be for XP too, (dunno about the linux and mac clients though, but I guess they would hacksaw up something for them as well).

Detour: If ambulation doesn't include well rendered and animated hot nubile minmatar slave women dancing on the tables as I gamble my prodigious wallet away to nothing then it will be massive fail.

As already stated, it will be for XP as well.. Not just Vista and DX10.
What I'd like to know is when exactly is it actually going to come? I haven't checked around too much.. Not sure if an exact date has been announced yet or not?
I can't wait to gamble all my isk away in stations

That's because people tend to read ONE thing and take it as the truth.
If they actually looked around they'd see it's been stated by Devs multiple times that it is for XP as well.

hell you still play eve on old PC's I remember at least 10 threads asking if it was true that eve would only work on vista and people that couldn't upgrade wouldn't be able to play anymore.

Okay, okay. I'm sorry I jumped the gun and for showing my newb colors. However, I only just recently got back into EVE and remembered about the stations thing and how it was only for vista. I did a quick search and couldn't really find any solid evidence so I came here to ask.
I appreciate the responses though and I am sure glad that they've since changed it to include XP users as well. :-)

Sigh. Thank you for pointing out the obvious grammatical mistake. I'm not sure where I'd be without you.

BTW, it's officially called "Ambulation" (which is just a fancy word for walking).

Will it take an hour to walk into a crowded room? -- DEVS get multiple CPUs/Cores per system and all will be forgiven.

Well, at least infiniband is supposed to come out before Ambulation, so it will only take 50 minutes  _

IIRC the devs said something about reacting to the crowd. I think they'll use the movement methods of Asassins Creed (i.e. squeezing through)

If I can't run it, I can't crash because of bugs in it. (yeah right)
Just like Eve Voice that I have disabled never makes me crash. (Yeah right) Just like Premium graphics that I don't run didn't make my client less stable or slower. (Yeah right).

Yea, this is a way to make people buy new hardware and software. This is standard business pratice, dunno it you remember but CCP and Microsoft are waorking together on Eve, due the server issues.
Bet you CCP is getting a huge discount on tech-support for pushing Vista and/or other products that they offer.
