After hearing about ambulation and figuring it seemed unlikely, and seemed to be planned for years, it occurred to me it might be a hoax. I asked about this in the help channel, and the answers were contradictory.
So, is it a real, planned expansion, or a hoax that went completely out of hand?

Not hoax just pushed back until next year.
Similar to tech 3, factional warfare foundations, a better tech 2 system (old lotto system wasnt all that great) and of course better graphics. CCP does have alot more work ahead of them and constantly have places to improve and expand, they have many more factions to add new ships for, they have plenty of unused classes of ships we may see in the future, they got more things planned and the next major thing on the list to be added is ambulation, and the super computer server farm. After that planetary interaction which may include colonization, and invasion and additional walking on planets ambulation.

i'd say it's not a hoax given they had the playable demo at fanfest If it is a hoax, CCP is probably among the most stupid companies out there. Even if they didnt do all the cool stuff with real arcitects for the rooms and a real designer for the clothes it's bound to take some amount of time and effort from programers and graphics dudes to put a playable, albeit very buggy, demo of the thing. Time, money and effort much better spent at something that's not a hoax.

CCP only bought White Wolf because Icelandic banks had too much money to fit all the revenue that CCP is making. They had no intentions whatsoever to make use of their development to pull out ambulation for EVE. It was more fun to watch the vampire games that never comes out. *nods*

Whatever it is, it isn't in the March 10th expansion. Unfortunate. Hopefully in the one after that. Still, I'm sure I can make do just fine with T3 ships and playing with Wormholes for a while.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read.
On the side of 'its real' we have: Hundred of different posts by CCP, playable demo at fanfest, videos, and at least one megathread containing hundreds of answers to questions about it.
On the side of 'its a hoax' we have: Nothing. I cannot recall or find a single statement from CCP indicating it's not going to happen.
If you are stacking up player comments from a chat channel in the 'hoax' column against all the CCP evidence in the 'real' column then you are a first-class idiot.
What are these contradictions you talk about?

It's not a hoax. WIS will become a reality. All you need is a WIS blueprint which costs 10,500,000,000 isk and then you just build your avatar. Production time takes about 52 weeks with perfect skills. and you can be walking about in the stations in no time.
(All thanks to Chribba, Eve files is a welcome addition to Eve).

It doesn't even fall into the category of vapourware; if we use DNF as a good example of vapourware, I think all they ever showed was some screen shots from it's development over the years and a couple of teasers that altered over time as new publishers came and went, and the team undertook complete engine overhauls.
You could say, that prior to Fanfest this year, WIS could've fallen into a similar category, but with the hands on demo, and the play through live on stage, I think it's safe to say this is no longer the case.

Since you are here, can you (or one of the other devs) tell us if the WiS assets are going to be strictly limited to use while in station? By this, I mean is there any chance we get to see animated avatars outside of stations, that use the models and textures from WiS?
I think it would be awesome if when I open a private 1 on 1 convo with another pilot that we each see the animated avatars from WiS, but they are seated inside our pods. Imagine being able to /emote raise_eyebrow and demand ransom from that hauler you caught with his pants down in lowsec! And of course for the truely evil, being able to /emote hearty_laugh after they pay the ransom and you start to fire on the ship anyway 
From someone that has started to learn how to make Eve videos, this would be invaluable for good storyline Eve movies.

actually, that demo was technology from the defunct Earth and Beyond game. It was not ccp's. They bought it from EA or licenced a version of its technology. Anyone from Earth and Beyond knows this just from watching the vid. I even remember a dev referencing Earth and Beyond in the demo or in a dev blog. Not that it is a bad thing, but if they took the technology from EnB they would still need years to modify it and redesign the artwork etc to fit the EVE theme.

You mean the demo that no one was allowed to film. You could have made them sign a NDA and threatened with account banning, if they ever revealed the truth. The part that was filmed could be all the ambulation that was ever made. That would explain all the bugs in it and why the new lighting system wasn't in it. You just used some old version of abandoned software to keep the lie alive a little longer.

If it's a very elaborate hoax, it's going to be a very expensive one for CCP. How many players have joined just because of the promise of ambulation?
If CCP don't release it soon, it's going to cost them a lot of subscriptions, people are not going to wait forever. Personally, I hope it really is a hoax, not because it will lose CCP money but I would rather have better missions, more new ships and mods and lots of shiny new content of that type than simply be able to strut around in a station doing sweet FA. If it included FPS combat or such, I would be more interested. It would give us a way to still hit station huggers and a wardec would actually have a meaning because you can't just refuse to undock to avoid it.

I sincerely believe that this entire thread is one big troll.
If not, then it's incredibly sad. What in the name of all that is holy makes people think ambulation is a hoax? Seriously?

Maybe the fact that it is a hoax makes us think it is a hoax.

Originally by: Dantes Revenge If it's a very elaborate hoax, it's going to be a very expensive one for CCP. How many players have joined just because of the promise of ambulation?
If CCP don't release it soon, it's going to cost them a lot of subscriptions, people are not going to wait forever. Personally, I hope it really is a hoax, not because it will lose CCP money but I would rather have better missions, more new ships and mods and lots of shiny new content of that type than simply be able to strut around in a station doing sweet FA. If it included FPS combat or such, I would be more interested. It would give us a way to still hit station huggers and a wardec would actually have a meaning because you can't just refuse to undock to avoid it.
Players don't join EVE because of a promise of ambulation. Hell, there is a sizable portion of current subscribers that don't even know anything about it. You would rather have more missions, space content and ships? Good, because t3, wormhole exploration, and epic mission arcs are coming in March, prior to ambulation. Having FPS combat wouldn't mean anything in dealing with station huggers and people refusing to fight or undock. Instead of staying docked they would not log in at all if you could kill them in a station.

While I don't have any numbers to give about new players joining EvE because of ambulation, I can however assure you that some players who have canceled their subscribtion will activate their account and get back to the game because of the ambulation in the horizon. I know this because I am one of those players, I am sure there are others.

I remember a dev saying Ambulation was suposed to be released in Revelation I, with the factional warfare. Too bad the game is that good so I stayed anyway  Fetchez la vache !

yep, they just said "ambulation+fw in revelation, soon(tm)" I just remember it that way. For games I'm patient anyway. I'd rather wait a lot of time that having a half-made bugged feature now.
Been first to say to Mafia 2 devs to take their time btw (like "guys it was GTA3's best rival, please take the time to make Mafia 2 GTA4's best rival"). It comes 3rd or 4th on my "wanna has now" gamelist. Fetchez la vache !

No.
I don't give a flip about Ambulation, so this isn't me giving the devs a hard time, but I have a pet peave for people stating made-up crap as if it were facts.
They were quoted, repeatedly, in several different articles in 2007 that ambulation was coming in 2008.
As it's now 2009, they obviously had to push their release date back. ----------------

For all the older Ambulation information, have a look over here. I stopped updating it around August, as it just got to be a bunch of work without being a deterrent to the 5-10 ambulation threads a week. But it has everything pre-August linked, I believe.

As I said - I don't mind if they had to push it back. With something that the community has been this vocal about, I don't blame them for wanting as flawless a launch as possible. And CCP are generally excellent about QC anyway.
I have nothing against Ambulation, it just holds no appeal for me personally. I was just clarifying the above misinformation. ----------------

I don't care honestly if it never comes out but for those who do, it would have been good PR for CCP to make an official statement that it has been delayed/shelved/abandoned or whatever. Even if they say the release date is sometime this century, it would be something. Silence gives rise to speculation of vapourware as it is already doing and that doesn't do a companies reputation any favours.
It had also better be a voluntary patch similar to the premium graphics. I am not going to be amused if I'm suddenly expected to download a 500mb+ patch one day before I can even log in, especially if I'm on a laptop with a mobile internet dongle just to change skills at work one night.

Originally by: Lythane After hearing about ambulation and figuring it seemed unlikely, and seemed to be planned for years, it occurred to me it might be a hoax. I asked about this in the help channel, and the answers were contradictory.
So, is it a real, planned expansion, or a hoax that went completely out of hand?
Lol, are you for real or just trolling? =p

You do realise that the initial iteration of ambulation will be little more than a fancified station services interface, right?
