I refuse to get emotionally involved in whatever might occur, because 1. it might not occur at all, 2. it might not be what I'm hoping for even if it does (many of you know what I mean), 3. getting emotionally involved in a game that as far as we know isn't even vapourware yet is just sad. Sorry, Pokey, but hearsay isn't progress.

I also don't want to throw any form of energy at CCP who is clearly interested more in their pet VR projects than they are in the product stream that gave them life - EvE Online and whatever offshoots of the New Eden world that they could produce. The dedicated EvE Online fan base is what made CCP, who appear to be content to roll out new content to the existing game and never expand it outside of that game. The VR offerings are not "expansions", as while they operate in the New Eden world, they have no real connection with EvE Online itself. EvE Online will likely continue as its own dwindling little universe surrounded by VR games that purport to exist in that universe but are only using the hardware to host the games.

So you don't beleive there will be news but you still check? Do you expect to be wrong eventually? Are you both certain you're correct and incorrect?

Have I ever told you the definition of Dustsanity?

Side Note: Hearsay isn't progress, but I just love being the underdog I'm this story.

I don't believe there will be any news, but I know I can be wrong. I'm hoping I am, that's why I still come by here. As far as your being the underdog, that's only because you keep telling us to basicly wait and see, but like I said, hearsay is not progress. When I see even an Alpha I'll know they're serious. Until then, vapourware is still vapourware. :)

And flipping between 'Novas never coming' and 'But it MIGHT THO', seeing people with the same dilemma gives me life and depresses me simultaneously. That and the fact that there is a hole in my chest from Dust shutting down that no other game will ever fill except maybe Nova. I want nothing more than to play one last battle of Dust. Just wondering is there ANY other game that has ever had this level of addiction amongst its players? My guess is the only other game that would come close is EvE Online, due to the persistent nature of it, and the fact that many players basicly live their lives online in New Eden with RL only taking the role of providing the means by which they can continue to do so. On the one hand I think it's sad that anyone can be that dedicated to a game, on the other, I wonder why it is that we still can't live our lives in New Eden and make real money out of it. There are online worlds where one can do exactly that but CCP doesn't want the tax implications, which is reasonable. However, it would certainly be a major game changer were we ever to be able to (legally) do that! Think of online Dust battles where we could be employed by corporations for real money, to fight battles for them. That would be so cool.

No, it's not wrong, at all. I suppose we all have to have a little optimism to be still here. Waiting.... ;)
