So, this thread may get interesting, it may even make some devs upset with me but whatever, it something that really needs to be said.

I have seen in several posts the extent that people take "Legion being a totally different & separate game" to some crazy extents. Some people making the assumption that as there may be a SSO in the future, assuming that Legion will require an active EVE account or even just a monthly subscription. Others saying that there will be a separate CPM for the game.

Now, honestly I don't know fully why they decided to announce it this way. Maybe its legal reasons, maybe they are trying to get away from the bad press, I don't know. But i just want to make one thing crystal clear.

Legion is the next evolution of Dust.

Dust is a multiplayer sort of RPG style FPS set on the planets in new eden with skills, vehicles, corps and futuristic armour.

Legion will be a multiplayer sort of RPG style FPS set on the planets in new eden with skills, vehicles, corps and futuristic armour and a lot more stuff too. However it will be under a new (imo better) name, with fancier graphics but on a different platform.

Now for all we know, the changes, tweaks and additions could be so vast that it may almost be like playing a whole new game, but then again the differences between what we have today and the first closed beta is so vast it may as well be a totally different game. I like to think Legion being similar.

I like to think Legion being similar. The only problem i forsee with this is that while Eve is a great game, it took them 11 years to get to where they are, 11 years ago the customers were allot more easy going and could do more with less mechanics, the current itteration of gamers and especially the console crowd is the "I WANT IT NOAW" crowd and because ccp isnt a huge studio, their ability to push content out fast enough is the issue, 1 year after launch they got dust to where it should have been at open beta. On PC we are accustomed to software patches, but if they release the game like they did Dust, its not gonna hold like Dust did on PS3, the current gamer has no patience and there are too many new games coming out every week. I am at the point where i cant get enticed anymore by new game hype or about how green its going to become on the other side of the fence, everything beyond Everquest Classic, Everquest 2, Eve, Counterstrike, Tactical Ops has been utter crap. I hope CCP has learned a valuable lessen that they cant make it on their Eve glory alone, otherwise Legion will be the same failure Dust has been...and while i love Dust, but it might just be that i only love dust because there are no aimbotters on console, i dunno...
