I believe they will keep the names. They did say that all dust players would get a reward on the new game so it would make sense to keep the current names to know who is a vet and who isn't.

With that said, some stats might be kept as well. Hopefully they pass our BPOs and SP. that's what matters the most as money and time was spent on that.

Isk, aur, assets, etc, we can easily get more of that. But its SP and bpos that matter to me mostly.

I had to give MY WALLET for the G-M/H skins. 200M+ isk. I wanna keep them.

Gonna make sure to take a pic of EVERYTHING I HAVE before the servers go down just incase.

Ugh. I know. But it's just.... So much time to get So and stuff all to see it go down the sink. I could have stepped my trumpet level up, gotten some decent abs, improved school work, etc etc etc.

It's a disappointment to see it all go down the drain. There should ATLEAST be a skill pool so that all our SP is generated again over time.

Basically, at the fairest way, we would probably get 1.5x more sp per match from our normal pool to get out SP back.

Some people spent hundreds of dollars for thier SP. they Shiism atleast get some back no?

I feel ^^^ that would be the fairest as we all still start fresh.

Example-

Dust vet- 1500 sp

New player- 1000 sp

They dont give a flying F*** about us dust 514 PS3 players.

Why would they care about our names?

They just pulled the plug on us and are currently not even paying attention to dust.

What they did was disgusting to their player base on the PS3.

Basically pulled the plug on life support to us all.

Then came out and said ohhh yeah by the way we are making a FPS on the PC.

How the F does that benefit us console gamers?

I am speaking for most of you here. As i own a top quality gaming PC already.

But i can imagine how all you dedicated console gamers feel right now.

If its anything like me you got to be disgusted at CCP right now.

I don't expect Full assets, skills, isk etc... but I would like something a lot more tangible and relevant than a little badge or trophy. I believe there is plenty of time and room to come to some sort of middle ground arrangement of sorts but to be fair it really does depend on what CCP does with the new game.

Will we still have skills and skill points?
I would imagine we will keep if not build upon character fitting and customisation as that is one of the hallmarks.

There is a lot I am eager to discover.

I regret even getting my hopes up for 1.3.

I figured that would be my last Dust hurrah, but look how that turned out...

I want to keep everything because that's what EvE is about. Yes, I know this is Dust, but it's in the New Eden EvE Universe, and should by rights then be persistent. I'm sure CCP was at least a little worried there'd be people like me that believe things shouldn't just end like that, particularly in New Eden. The idea of New Eden is that once a part of that universe comes into being, it continues in some form for as long as CCP exists. That's why the transition to the new platform should carry across just as much as CCP can preserve of our existing advancement, just exactly as if they were porting it.

There is nothing to stop them doing exactly that. The database is on Tranquility. They can keep exactly what they want of it to populate the new game's database, even just keep the database itself for that matter, with whatever database mods are necessary for the new platform. I don't buy this "tiered recognition" rubbish. They can do a lot better than that. They can even give you guys that want to start again a skill reset or even a complete wipe if they want, but give me what I've already got, thanks.
