DUST is dead, long live Legion.

That's what it sounds like with every DUST presentation being about Legion. Weren't we promised a new build we could actually play at FF? What happened to that?

CCP is hedging about character transfer, but it's not a question of "can they?". It's a matter of "do they want to?"
As was pointed out EVE still gets new subscriptions with 10 year old characters in the game, so starting with high level players is either not a problem or it will kill the game inside two years regardless as new players gain the same level.

CCP really needs to admit their plans for transfer right now, or folks will have to assume they mean to let all your DUST toons die.

My assumption is that they aren't saying because they know that making the call to make DUST a dead end will turn it into a ghost town overnight.

No, it's actually a matter of can we. There are technical questions and restrictions, legal questions (with Sony) and design questions (how do we convert experience when the progression system is different, items are different and ISK works in different ratios).

When we can answer the questions above, we'll share with you. Trust me when we say we want to let people carry over progress. But we just honestly don't know if we can do so yet.

What sort of permission do they need from Sony to copy the data to Legion? And why would Sony care anyway? DUST on the PS3 is now dead regardless. CCP might port it to the PS4 as they are with Valkyrie, and in any event Sony has a probably much better game in Valkyrie than it ever had in DUST. So why should Sony want to mess with CCP that way? ISK is a small matter as most don't have much and those who do got it from the PC ISK fountain that has been spewing free fortunes for months now. Likewise inventory is disposable. But SP is the hours we spent supporting this game, hours we ground with the promise that it meant something. It's the one thing that is supposed to last forever. As long as Legion has a progression system there will be a way to make the translation.

I stayed with Dust for a year. Heck. Today my char became 1 year and 1 day old. I really tried to stay with CCP during that time. I tried to see their changes, I never threatened to biomass because of small decisions or anything. But this here is just way too much. You basically tell us to suck it up. Suck it up after we spent countless hours on you rgame and gave you money. I myself spent about 170Gé¼ on Dust. I spent them to see stuff like the player market or drone PvE. Because I always trusted that you will sooner or later deliver on that. Now you tell us "Yeah, that will actually be a different game!" How can I trust CCP as a company when they do **** like this? I spent my money on this game because I believed them. Heck. Different progression system in Legion? Who cares? Just give us in Legion the equivalent of what you can accomplish there in the time our Dust chars existed. I don't see that much of a problem there. Legal issues? You don't have to actually port things over. I mean as you said: That's a hard thing to do anyways. Dust chars just stay on Dust. But there's nothing wrong in giving your loyal fans something you stayed with you during the time of the Legion Alpha. Sign up for Caldari FW and defeat the evil Gallente Overlords!

Don't bite on the little maybe, but we don't know, but we might, but we might not crap being spewed. It's drivel designed to calm the angry masses. Be angry. You have every right to be. Anyone that says otherwise is a fanboy or naive.
