CCP has been long on promises and short on delivery. While I enjoyed my time in EVE, I was disappointed in the the "promises" made by CCP and the "delays" in bringing things to life. To those that are still there, stay. It was, and still is, not for me.

What promises?

I know Ambulation was never given an official release date so what else are you talking about?

That Atmospheric flight demo? that wasn't given a release date either?

Seriously you guys see a tech demo and then imagine a date in your heads and get pissed when CCP doesn't release on this imaginary day.

I think what they are saying is that WIS will offer a certain level of privacy to it’s players and open the doors to the blackmarket. There is already a blackmarket on EVE and with WIS, you’ll have that “off the record” feel roaming around the stations.

Sounds brilliant!

Also, CCP has never made any promised dates on Ambulation or other features. People imagine things...

Hell I think that in comparison to other developers, like SOE NCSoft and Funcom that CCP is better at keeping the hype machine down a notch, they and Turbine are probably my favorite developers as far as PR goes.

What I love about EVE is that it is what you make of it.  

I don't know, sounds like CCP is actually backing away from WIS. Did they not hype the sh*t out of it last year? Maybe I missed it but I didn't find anything in this years brochure, no panels no nothing. Interesting they also gave this interview before FanFest, every media interview I have seen asks about Ambulation's status, maybe they are preparing us for the eventual project cancellation. I hope I am wrong.

Now, I know NO release date was ever given but don't give me this BS that people are imagining dates in their heads. This has been, until this interview, a project THEY have hyped to both the fans and media outlets for years. It isn't about dates, it's about over marketing something you don't have, sending into a black hole for a while then emerging out the other end with squat. It's about credibility, their ability to give us a glimpse at the future and deliver on it in some form or another and not sweep it under the carpet and hope it will go away and move on to the next shiny.

I guess we will just need to wait for FanFest's conclusion, hopefully we will get some additional insight into this project.

YEah im waiting till fanfest is over then decide if I want to quit or not...

If you are that ambivalent about EVE you should quit.  EVE is the PhD of PC Gaming and is not really for everyone.  It is hardcore and ruthless, 0.0 and WH space are the most dangerous places in PC Gaming.

So we can understand if you can not handle it.

Enjoy whatever game you end up playing instead.
