Basicly travelling in low sec and 0.0 you find yourself more often alone at some stations. I'm just wondering if there will anyone be there to cast a shade on my parade in those stations (and I demand beeing able to walk around in my all so silky transparent nightgown, can't be offensive when no one is in the station).
But seriously, it will be awfully immersion breaking being alone in those stations, I'm wondering if NPC characters will play any role or you imagine WIS will only be used in the major trade hubs (heck talking about AI they could talk about the last visitor that came 5 weeks ago or keep track of buisy days).
Would people want NPC interaction on some basic core level, agent booths (meet em in person for some special missions you're taling about implementing), will the stations be assigned to the corporations who own them. It would be nice to have a room where commodities that the coroporations are buying can be displayed as well as the one they are selling, making it an incentive for pilots who do trade (if there are any).
Just watching the WIS presentation it feels like it relies heavily on player content as it should, but space stations with less player traffic would suffer, stations without people (that are not pod pilots) just doesn't make sense.

Actually it would be immersion braking if HUGE stations had traffic all the time everywhere.
The galaxy only has so many people.
But still a level of some local traffic as well as station staff, they presumably are located for a reason from RP perspective (trade route for Quafe company) or some thing like that.
About dead maimed people everywhere... it would be cool

What would be immersion breaking about empty stations? If a station is empty, it would be empty in WIS, too. If it is a busy station and there are lots of people, it'd be a busy station. I mean... what do you want - every place to look like JITA?
The idea of 0.0 outposts where a janky little bar with a quirky bartender and a couple meager facilities in the station are surviving on the odd customer here and there in the middle of nowhere seems appealing to me. There may be very massive station facilities in busy places that have an almost utopian massive-architecture to them, but in far out places, they could and should occasionally feel very run-down and neglected and sparse and vacant.
But never completely empty to a point where I waltz around in my nightgown (31 charisma, hello I demand extra beutiful character with nice curves).
The elitist idea is valid from the perspective we are demigods of EvE as pod pilots.
