I feel this might be a controversial update as it will not only be a very minor update (ant hills) as mentioned here before, but they will also announce that it will be the LAST update to Dust 514.
So:
- Minor update to GUI, balance, some bugs
- Major bugs will remain untouched
- No more updates
- No announcement of any Dust 514 port or update on the Legion project
I've decided to add an extra layer to my tinfoil hat today |

Let's look at what is happening right now.
-The marketplace has stopped advertising specials likely to avoid another Rouge Wedding upset.
-CCP staff have stopped responding to the Dust 514 community.
-There is speculation that 1.3 will hold controversial elements that might "**** people off".
-Eve Online gets a new feature where skill points can be traded.
-Eve Online could use some new subscriptions.
I will bet they answer the old Legion question "How will my character move on to another platform?" with an offer to transfer Dust SP to Eve Online.
I actually am OK with this. My biggest fear is that both Dust AND Legion will die. However, your conclusions provide hope that there will be a Dust-like FPS on the horizon and they are gearing up for that change.
Still a tough pill to swallow though that Dust 514 will die. :( |

Is it? I don't think we have any facts to support that. The only thing that is certain is that the Legion trademark has expired. Not indicative that Legion is dead, but rather that it will be called something else. |

I think it is likely one of two possibilities:
1. DUST is dead and they are just keeping the servers running until it stops producing positive revenue.
2. DUST is being ported and they don't want to let anything slip yet. Maybe contracts aren't signed yet, or their exclusivity contract with Sony has not expired yet.
If I don't hear anything by April I will be shutting down my EVE accounts and becoming much less invested in my Corp and other administrative responsibilities. I will probably continue to play casually until either my PS3 breaks, the Servers go down, or I find a new video game.
Interesting points - especially the part about the exclusivity contract. It's very possible that it started when the game was first made available to the public, and that was January 22nd with open beta.
Perhaps this date is important, but most likely insignificant. Guess we'll know for sure come monday (as I doubt they would want to make an announcement on a friday) |
