1) What happens to my character, skills and stuff?

If Project Legion becomes something more than a prototype, we will not leave our DUST 514 players behind. You would be able to bring your character name, applicable skills/inventory, and other elements of progression with you.

I am prepared to get hated for the following statement: [:oops wrote:

I want to keep my name, that is all. Please don't transfer my 16 million SP or some people's 50 million SP over to PL!
Please don't! It'll be an INSTANT game killer for any new players. We already have a huge advantage, as Dust players, in understanding the maps, weapons, mechanics, equipment and general strategies within the game.

If you give the Veteran, Proto-Stomping Elite all their SP in the future game, they'll be an even larger gap between them and new players than there ever was in Dust: You'll carry with it all the problems that stopped new players from staying more than 5 minutes in Dust - into Project Legion - same mistakes - same outcome; failure.

When will CCP learn from its mistakes? And when will the community stop trying to kill its own gaem? Don't you want more players?

Think about it before flaming - Canis Ferox The issues you are concerned with are completely understandable. However, what you're proposing won't solve anything, it will merely postpone the problem, at best. On top of that, it will completely (and, you have to admit, justifiably) enrage many people who invested a lot of their time and money to develop their characters. EVE has the same problem for years. In fact, EVE has the same problem increased by several-fold. And it solves it quite simply. It enables veterans to have better things to do other than harassing and stomping noobs. There's no particular game mechanic that stops them from doing so - they simply have better things to do. Who would want to harass noobs, when they can blow up capital ships in 0.0, or make billions of ISK in profit by farming wormhole anomalies? Give similar content to Legion veterans, and you will solve the problem. Pulvereus ergo queritor.
