sounds fairly dull to me, unless you tell me i can kill people in it.
I concur. Having the ability to waste someone in a station would be fantastic and the only reason I would want to get out of my ship.
No, no and again no. I am really excited to walk in station but i am not going to lose my character due to campers

Why no screen shots anywhere, I can not find anything on this site about it? I had to go to another site to see video ie: youtube to see what is was like. I am looking forward to it, but when is it coming, 3 months, 6 months? Let me know where I can see more about it and not have to read all this $&)# to get nothing from it but people do and do not want this addition.

go to Downloads>EVE Videos>Fanfest 2008 and download the videos: Walking in station and World domination.
Everything you need is in there. Unfortunately there is now mention when WiS is coming out..

EvE like most MMOs is simply a chat room with entertainment. Ambulation is just one more entertaining aspect of EvE. As long as it adds minimal time i.e. it doesnt take 5 minutes to walk from office to the docks. I am for it.. If I am forced to blow 15 minutes everytime I dock.. then this aspect should be revised so that I can rclick and enter ship from anywhere in the station.

I have an idea which I hope will add just a bit extra to the whole walking in stations.
Haven't read anything about this so there it goes.
What if, the less real players there are on a station, the more NPCs will walk around?
For example, lets say there's always 100 people on the public section of the station. Either NPC or player,
and if a new player enters the big room of which I forgot the proper name, the npc walks trough a door players
can't go trough and despawns.

That would actually be a really neat idea! That way the less populated stations wouldn't have that sort of empty, sterile and otherwise unreal feel to them. It would essentially make things feel more like you'd assume space stations of this type would: bustling with activity.

It's the carrot to keep us longing.
I also thought it was gonna be in the March expansion, but considering there's nothing, tough luck to us.

When the Demo was showed on Fanfest last November, we got the info that WiS would not be part of the next (March) expansion.
The latest info we received is that the WiS on an an independent schedule from all other expansions and that they aim to complete it sometime in 2009.
Perhaps a few month after Apocrypha was released we will get more info, but not now.

I donĘt know Kronossan, I kind of like the idea of roaming the dilapidated decks of a long abandoned station out in low-sec

Hehe, though it would give you something to look at.
As most of you have probably noticed, on the demo video the character didn't run but just walked on a normal relaxed pace.
I think it'd be awful being forced to stare at the doorway or band conveyor you'll be walking towards for the comming 5 minutes with nothing at all around me.

-Agent : I need some coffee from level 129, you know that new place, Can you get me some? Ill pay your 600456 isk if you get it for me before 06/12/09.
-You : A) Yawn sounds like a plan
B) WTF, we are on level 889! you want me to go where?
C) Can I have more information about this Coffee?
-Agent : I hate rats don't you? One of my Secretaries (you know the one with the Big ...) Well, She says she saw a rat in the hall, can you go kill it? Heres a broom.
-You : A) I too hate Rats, I just hope they don't have lasers on their heads or something,
B) Do I look like a Janitor? really, I got like 120 of them in my other hanger, just being lazy....
C) Tell me more about the rats with Lasers on their heads.
-Agent : I like dolls....
-You : Walking in stations does what exactly? I mean can i bring a frigate in here? Or like a power chair or something? (Upgradeable walkers? T3 pants? how about a named wheelchair? Wardrobes? Hairstyles?)
A use for those advanced small arms thingys? and how about a tekken or double dragon fighting style mini game?
-Agent : Please take these dolls to the 0.0 section of this station?

I'm interested to hear what people look forward to most...
Mostly being able to kill time in bars or being able to buy drinks for corpmates after a nice operation, and using the board room.
Wait, actually, what I look forward to the most is the day it's online.

I think CCP is whole overestimating the depand and desire to walk in station, I for one would be happy never to do this.
HOWEVER, it is a steping stone to colinizing planats and stuff like that.
My sugest is IF you want to try it out, then how about haveing ... 5-10 stations you can walk in (heck you can even have 0.0 sections in the stations).
Jita, and 2 stations in each starting "area". that would give a good feel as to if people will want/ use them.
I would do once, to see it, and that is about it.

So there is no mention of this being released in the next update.... I dont understand why it wouldnt be. I saw the fanfest video saying it would be out in march. Almost everyone (except the vocal minority) are sooo keen for this to get implemented so is it too much to ask what is happening with it? or a timeline please??
Has something happened that means it wont be getting released for a long time again?
T3 ships didnt have to wait this long.
Please CCP tell us what is going on.......

Walking in stations sounds like a great idea for role-players and people wanting to "pretend" they are smugglers or whatever but in my humble opinion this is a feature that does not add needed improvements on the client.
I would much rather you address the many issues already talked about before adding more fluff. I love the improvement to the ship models but how about making them even more animated? How about more unique sound effects for each ship. How about more ship models for Tech 2 ships not recycled Teir 1 ships?
Many other things to do than add a 3D chat feature.
I want to play in space (as others have commented as well).

Soo.... CCP... pray tell, when are we going to get Ambulation??
Alternatively, CCP, what is happening with ambulation at the moment? Can we be privy to this information please??
We all know it was promised, but when will it be delivered. Im guessing that alot of people wont bother asking anymore because the proverbial carrot has rotted. Time for a Fresh Carrot PLEASE!
In my brazen opinion people against EvE expanding and WIS are those with old equipment. Ie, the people that have major or consistent problems with EvE at the moment and want "existing problems fixed" probably have old computers/ drivers/ video cards/ very low speed internet, etc.
I know there are some probs with faction warfare but I have no problems with EVE spaceflight atm, even when 400+ Goons have put up 100+ bubbles I can still get around, engage/disenage them with relative ease.
So what major problems do you have in spaceflight I wonder? (that are not attributed to the client side)

March, lol. I think there a bit busy with remaking Eve as it stands, let alone WIS in 3 months they have been working flat out on Apocrypha.
The suggestion that has been dropped in various places (Fanfest, interviews, etc) is WIS is A) As affore mentioned not on the same release cycle, when it's ready they will sync it up with Eve-Online. B) at absolute earliest coming Winter 2009, and very unlikely given CCP's estimates in the past. Probably see public demo's coming out live within 6 months to a year and a real version will follow in sensible development time.
Although this is an "addon" in terms of integrating with eve, it's a completely new Development field, and there doing their damdest to get it right first time. Which is impractical given CCP's code as you go mechanism, which I've always liked, despite the bugs. Still gota love the luminosity concept, and the fact CCP are running with something so new it's unused, because they want it right :P
Also, they won't tell you anything until their ready. Notoriously closed lipped even with the smallest of hints or tips. I think CCP PR and legal team must be made of BM&SM types for the general closed lippedness of CCP at times. Or there just so dam busy, or maybe there are gremlins, ive no idea. But they arent very talkative.

The way I see WIS as a viable addition to the game is where you have different security levels in a station, just like you have in space, where you actually can PvP other people. That would be fun.

Just as long WIS stays as a social thing to do, and not a necessary thing to visit agents n stuff and most defenetly not any 0.0 zones on stations *shrug*
Anyone remember Earth and beyond by any chance? they had that feat, and u HAD to run between vendors and missiongivers... the disco was cool tho:)

Why not? Imagine two corporations at war with eachother tired of playing station games, they all dock up and meet up in the station for a big bar brawl

At first i thought PVP in station would be a bad idea... but...
If there was a special arena/room, that Pilots could only enter after signing a Death Waiver, well that would be cool.
Especially if other pilots could gamble to look on to the arena from the stands. Could be an automated fight based on skills or attributes.
Then at the end of the fight, the winner could hack through the losers corpse/head to find/salvage implants for bragging and iskies.

Personally I still don't see what this would add to the game other than some eye-candy. In fact, if implemented poorly (i.e. by replacing the current station interface completely) it could be pretty horrible. I really don't want to spend more than 2 seconds in the station to turn in a mission and grab the next one, or to change fittings, refine ore, etc., etc. just because I have to wait for some obligatory walking-in/walking-out station animation to happen. One of the most boring and stupid aspects of WoW (yes, I did play that a long time ago) was all the walking around to talk to agents, all the waiting time spent just to fly places, etc. That's nice and all for the RP community, but not for a player-based game where most of the stuff happens in space. At the very least it should be something that can be turned on/off by players in the settings. Unless it's an integral part of the story, I don't want it.
I'd like to hear more about what the intended purpose of this implementation would be other than "just because it's cool and we can..."

I certainly don't hope there will be missions that are partly situated in space and partly in the stations themselves since I do agree with you on the WoW part which I used to play for a very long time as well.
Though missions that play entirely inside a station would be nice, if there's an option to run as well.
Also, I think there isn't much more to it then the "just because it's cool and we can..." you just mentioned aside from the fact many players having been asking for this feature for a while and it intrigued CCP.

They have made it quite clear in fanfest that there will still be all the same old style quick UI ways of doing things. Just WIS will add a social gameplay version of a lot of things that can be a bit more fun.
It would be dumb if, for example;
Pvp op leaves in 3 mins guys...oh **** i've got to insure my ship and that's on level two on the other dam side of the station *run run run*
So it won't happen, Torfi has already said that.
WIS is going to appeal most to Roleplay and faffing about when not in space. Will be kinda fun.
Bar brawl? Punching a commanding officer when he's being a prat? Kicking him so hard he dies and looses his implants? Or needs to recloan to get rid of the black eye you gave him?
I have to admit, while it would need balencing, a very simple fist fight like interface similar to GTA when your without a gun would be quite cool. Applying the same Concord level as we have now. So low and 0 space would be somewhat lawless, but in high a Concord officer comes and draggs you away. (perhaps private employable police NPC's for 0 anyone?)
But that is a complex dimension that CCP wont approach until WIS is at least beta, if not in live use. As cool as it would be, combat is complex addition. Start with the floor first, then put in the funky armchar 
Oh, and don't believe everything you read in EON, they get exited lol.
For all we know, CCP have fired half the WIS team and put the rest on Apoc. Or they have finished it and they are teasing us...you gits! lol JK

So it's already been a year since this thread started; I understand the devs recent surge of efforts on Apocrypha and the patches needed to make it bug-free... but seeing as the next major release is scheduled for this Winter, and seeing as the word has gone around that WiS will be around by then--can we get some confirmation on these rumors? Is a more solid ETA available by now? I also think that after a year, another dev blog is in order.
I'm confident this feature will come around, especially if CCP can retool it for World of Darkness; but nevertheless I'd like a little more literature on the topic. I just love reading it, and it helps me in my chats with my friends, some of whom are waiting for this feature specifically before they begin playing Eve. Thanks....
