You are a bit late on this one. Rather old news (note the date of the press release below):

and to top that off they have an FPS in production that from what I've seen is more done than ambulation. Or maybe just as done, considering the hard part will be making missions and story, even if the basic muliplayer works, it will probably need 1000s of hours to finish.

and in the recent technet/msdn video about HPC CCP mentioned a game with 1,000,000 players all in the same world/server.
The good news, if they're really shooting for that, is that we get to trial the infrastructure first in EvE. I'm looking forward to the Infiniband roll-out and various other things they're working on.

CCP have already started on the WOD rpg. Why do you think we're getting ambulation? It's being used as an early test of the WOD engine. They've also got that halo style fps that was announced early this year

Kinda flies in the face of what Hilmar said at the Fanfest. He implied the focus would be EVE. They showed resources allocated to 6 projects that would be scrapped. I guess they lumped it all under EVE. Spin you gotta love it.
I guess the FPS is technically EVE but they mentioned planet based content and additional ambulation content. A major new release has to see EVE resources cut by at least 2/3.

do you really expect to have 300 ppl working to make eve-online expansions whit 300 ppl working like that you can get a expansion every 4 months
imo it take more time to balance the new content that actually make it

I don't think White Wolf would be too happy about that.

Umm, white wolf don't just make card games and computer games, in fact, I'd say it's less than 1% of its market

no like the article says (if you actually bother reading before you post) They have taken everyone OFF those projects for th next 3 months to work on eve. Then they will go back. All other projects are ON ICE.

eh just give it to the players of eve, and let them take over the planets, and build the levels themselves

to be honest I hope they at least make them connected. Like the battles in the fps will be real time for the online game? I know that sounds crazy.
