Wtf is San Antonio News? May as well say you are from Texas News. What is the actual company you work for?
If you really are from the media, and have tickets, why squander the opportunity?
Why haven't you arranged for one on one interviews with devs, or with CCP executives? Why would you telegraph that you want to ask lame questions publicly in a forum?
The only reason I am not out and out calling bullshit is because, well.. Texas

You guys realize that when CCP created eve online they were basically a start up, right?
Bringing up the long ass evolution of eve has no bearings whatsoever on the development of Dust. With Dust they have ten years of experience, deep pockets, an ability to attract real talent. Those strengths didn't exist when they started out with Eve.
It is a straw man's argument devoid of logic to compare the development of Eve to Dust as if Dust should go the same route. From a business standpoint, it is utter failure to take ten years to develop a successful product, especially when you already went through that struggle. It implies that nothing was learned and Eve was a fluke they probably can't replicate. It also means they are going to lose a lot of money for apparently no reason at all.
sorry- It's just maddening to hear people compare the two. Past success doesn't insure future success.

Deep pockets that went to a TV series, comic book series, FPS, White-Wolf merger, World of Darkness and EVE: Valkyrie - the ability to attract real talent is negotiable as well, CCP is pretty independent. They're not backed by EA/Ubisoft, afterall.
Dude, from a business standpoint I could pick your little list into pieces. I get that you are a fan. I am too.
As a business person, casting a cold hard eye on this, my point stands perfectly. You aren't making any points to buff your standpoint, but in fact, pointing out why I am right. Let's do this exercise, try to separate your entertainment perspective from the whole situation, and pretend you have your whole fortune invested in Dust.
Now think about it for awhile, and tell me why I have a point. Just for fun.

I'd like to chime in and say that Aeon's spot on here...we're recruiting for numerous positions in Shanghai and we're committed to making this game as amazing as possible. There's been a lot of changes over the last few months since CCP Rouge has come in and we've been refining our development process. I know there appears to have been a little lull in content over the past month or two but this is generally attributed to extended breaks for the holidays and I promise that a lot of work has been going on behind the scenes - arguably more than ever. :)
There'll be more updates to come in the nearish future, as well as some Dev Blogs for you guys to sink your teeth in to.
That's really good to hear. Can you please look into moving the scout registry back into general form the locker room? A lot of us players that specialize in the scout role have a lot of information in there, and we help out new scout players all the time. We'd clean it up so it was more approachable as well.
As an aside, I'm really happy you are on board. I am not familiar with CCP Rouge, but I've had more confidence in Dust's future since you've showed up. After the past year, I'm looking forward to you guys kicking some ass.
