This is the new CCP, don;t talk about **** till its set in stone. I rather like it. In the past it bit them in the ass. Hell look at the rouge wedding, that was pulled off so crappily because they were trying to keep dust and legion migration hushed as they did not wan tto hype it, and then they gave no info on dust future. They messed up there, so i think they are taking a 'not say anything till its ready to be seen and set in stone' stance to prevent people having fits if, say, they go 'in legion you will invade eve space stations' then when they cut it later as a soon(tm) item people can;t **** and moan about it.
And if legion is quitely killed, no one can **** and moan about that either. |

That may be true, but to see a cancellation on Legion at this stage will only add to the bad repertoire that CCP recently got with the cancellation of World of Darkness and the red wedding that occurred during Fanfest 2014. Let's also never forget about what happened with Eve Online's Incarna expansion and the monoclegate which started the Jita Riots that somehow caused CCP to lose enough subscriptions to be forced to lay off 20% of their staff back in 2011. It's all or nothing with Legion.
No, not nessicarily. You forget, EVE subs is what is paying for Dust/Legion. If CCP announced closing of legion and dust with full focus 100% on eve forever, you would see the eve forusm explode with cheers.
Legion, to an EVE player is nothing, if it died they won;t care and CCP will go on fine without it. Don;t fool youself into thinking that legion will make or break ccp, cause it wouldn't.
However, it would greatly damage there rep and there finances.
But i highly, hightly doubt at this phase legion is dead. As i said a few times, Valk forums on eve or nearly dead with just very little trickle of info. Nothing new has been posted there since fan fest, no new info, no new anything. Legion forums here got more info then valk did. The only difference is, you can try valk because ccp wants to hype it up and its awesome. But as said, no news is not really bad or good. It just means they are working. I would rather they keep tight lips, and not spill something that has to be cut and disapoint, or over hype, then say stuff that either fails to deliver or gets changed. We will see in just over a month at vegas if we get new info. then there s still eve down under and fan fest. |

CCP, after all these years of developing something other than EVE, have yet to prove that EVE wasn't just a "one hit wonder".
And with alot of eve players that really doesn;t bother them.
But i do think ccp messed up with WoD and should of made that, but alas... |
