If minigames a...Sorry CK but that's a bad idea IMO. If minigames are so good that you log into EVE just to play them, then the whole 'eve thing' is bound to become a nuisance. You can play Peggle, Plants vs. Zombies, Secwars and all the other stuff easily on your mobile, iphone, smartphone, pocket PC, flash and probably facebook and myspace. Why should we allow people to put additional stress on the servers, clutter local and increase Jita lag just to let them do something that WILL NOT make them subscribe to eve and WILL NOT make them keep their subscription?<br />The whole idea of ambulation is a waste of resources because everyone except the roleplayers will stop using it within a month from release and players coming from other games will not find it compelling enough to stay. People playing eve do it (and new people start doing it) because of the core EvE experience. That's how products thrive on the market. CCP cannot afford to host a Second Life with flying dongs because it won't pay for itself.Oam Mkollnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002648.post-75828021485044703742009-05-30T05:07:56.938-04:002009-05-30T05:07:56.938-04:00Oh, look.

Wow, has ...http://www.ripelacunae.net/archives/114<br /><br />Wow, has it been a month already!<br /><br />Regarding Ambulation, I am excited, though I hope it's not a waste of dev time. I like the RP aspect, so even if it's completely 'optional', as they say, it'd still be a nice addition.<br /><br />That being said though, I'm desperately hoping that when they say 'optional' they don't mean 'complete waste of your time'.

While it would definitely be an improvement on spinning your ship while counting down a timer or waiting for a camp to disperse it would also potentially stop people from undocking. I love Eve for the fact that I get to fly around in a spaceship and I really hope that the focus stays there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002648.post-32476235504129946232009-05-26T23:46:08.418-04:002009-05-26T23:46:08.418-04:00I'd take this a step further and say let these min...I'd take this a step further and say let these mini-games be played outside of station!

It would be interesting but doesn't that defeat the point of the game? I mean if something is so boring that we need a mini game while we are doing it shouldn't it be relooked at rather than covered up with mini games?
