This complete lack of communication from CCP regarding Project Legion sends a very disturbing message.
Half of the active threads here are on this subject, and still none of the devs responded even with a simple "I'm still here". At first, this could have been explained by vacation period, but as more and more time passes by one can't help but wonder... What the heck is happening with Legion CCP?
Since I suspect that devs aren't playing this "silenzio stampa" game on their own volition, the most likely explanation is that they were told by the management to keep quiet. But why is it so? Considering everything that's been happening with DUST and CCP recently, I'm afraid that the answer to this question is more likely bad than good.
However, whatever may be the cause of this silence, it is still an insult to the loyal fans of this game (since I suspect they are the only ones who still linger here).

Let me tell you something I repeatedly said before.
I want CCP to be quiet for once. Every time they posted a blog it was mostly something about what we already knew through various discussions with them in the past. Every time they promised anything, much of those promises were never delivered. And every time they hyped anything... well... you can take a wild ass guess what I'm about to say about that.
Therefore, I don't take this silence as an insult at all. If anything, I'm glad they kept quiet for this long because it's a sign (to me at least) that just maybe they're finally learning their lesson when it comes to promises, hype, and managing the expectations of the fan base.
You can call it an insult for all I care. In the end, you know I'm right about what happened when CCP promised anything they couldn't deliver on.
EDIT: To quote CCP: "let's see what they do, not what they say."
I wasn't expecting hype nor (empty) promises. On the contrary. But you certainly remember what Legion forums looked like soon after Legion was announced. Devs were posting left and right, clarifying things, presenting ideas, requesting community feedback etc. Now, that looked to me like progress, and definite evidence that Legion is under development.
However, this is not what we're seeing now. Legion forums are dead as far as devs are concerned. Of course, it is possible that Legion is currently in the stage of development where community feedback is not required, therefore devs are quiet. I certainly hope so. However, this still doesn't explain the fact that nobody form CCP is posting anything about Legion. Not even a "we're working on Legion, when we have something, we'll let you know". Even that would suffice.
That type of silence is the silence I find disturbing.

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.
I completely agree with you here. If CCP cancels Legion, they can pretty much forget that anyone will regard them as a serious game developer. CCP, after all these years of developing something other than EVE, have yet to prove that EVE wasn't just a "one hit wonder".

But i do think ccp messed up with WoD and should of made that, but alas...
EVE players may be a rather reclusive bunch, not caring for anything other than EVE. But they're not stupid. If nothing else, they are well aware of the huge amount of time and resources CCP wasted on WoD (and DUST) that could have been used to make EVE better. In fact, although EVE community for the most part never really cared about DUST, it is quite possible they would (or will) care for Legion if it turns out to be successful. Legion, if done right, can only make EVE better. Regardless of whether EVE community is aware of that or not.

So, finally some mention of PL from CCP. It seems PL is still waiting for the green light. Maybe we'll get the answer by next fanfest. Maybe.
IMHO, considering the way CCP announced PL last fanfest, this is taking too long. You don't announce a game, knowing that it will infuriate a good portion of your current customers, and then wait for a year to decide whether the announcement was for real or just a (bad) joke.
