People listen to what they want to hear, and that includes devs.
From where i stand, most people i know where looking forward for WiS. Incarna was seriously disappointing, but WiS was ment to bring a new life to EvE, and it got canceled.
Why, may i ask? Because half a dozen people said they dont need it? what about those who wanted? what about the thousands that don't play EvE because they cant identify themselves with a ever changing ship? New players need something they can relate to, and for almost all the people, its a character, not a ship. But i'm not talking about a character that does nothing, i'm talking about a character other ppl can look at, that can interact with other things. WiS had some really awesome features, enough to keep me hooked for life. And hook others.
This brings me to my second point. As a gamer I know lots of other gamers, but i can't get them to play eve, they can't relate. I tried, send loads of buddy trials from my accounts but almost none played more than one month. Why? Cause game is f***** boring as a newbie and you cant do anything besides look at a spinning ship. Frustrating. I'm 99% sure my friends would have stayed if they could kick my ass in station poker, or laugh while we change boob size walk around in bras only or do random silly stuff, together.
Oh, and stating the obvious, if we had WiS, girls would come play EvE, and u knowGǪ if girls joinGǪ guys zerg after them. Not that i want EvE a Wow clone, but WiS would be good for business.
In conclusion:
- I believe the reason that led to WiS getting canceled where NOT the community feedback, thats BS fed to the players.
- New players can relate with their avatars as they interact with other players and mini-games
- Old players can time sink in a funnier way, altho i like the chat channels i'm in, i'd rather be in a bar playing Risk with them.
- New money sink possibilities
- New crafting possibilities
- Possibility to lure friends that are not Sci-Fi Fans.
PS: i've seen some really good ideas on this topic, and some really crappy ones. Hope the devs stay focused and do something about CQ.
To Devs: WiS DOESNT SUCK! CQ IMPLEMENTATION DID!!! GIVE US WiS!!!!!! GIVE US REAL USABLE AVATARS!!111oneoneone |
