Greetings,

Were this EVE, then yes 5 years sounds about right, but at the current skill gain rate, it looks like someone could get all of the current Dust skills to 5 in about 6 months. Of course, this is only a small portion of the skills we (the EVE players) suspect they are going live with.
Last time I checked (18 months ago) EVE skills cover around 500M SP, so roughly 400 months to get all skills to level 5... And that is with +4 implants and neural remaps. Of course they are doing the ship rebalancing now, which will add a whole new group of skills soon.

I understand that, but forgetting the 4x multiplier right now, we are only getting SP on 3 of 7 days, we don't have skills spikes or skill boosters in place and even with that there are already people with well over 15M SP already, I am over 10M SP myself and I am a shittastic FPSer... And this build only launched 3 weekends ago (call it 10ish days play)... In EVE time, that is roughly 1 years worth of SP gain and when the 4X booster is removed and the servers are opened full time with boosters, clusters, and spikes, that is about 3 - 4 weeks worth of play.

Unless CCP pulls another Incarna, I can easily see Dust being around for 10ish years. Once the basic game is completed and married to EVE, assuming they do it as they have described in various blogs, EVE will continue to need Dust bunnies, and so we will continue to pay for Dust maintenance and upkeep as long as EVE is around. EVE is different from almost any game out there because EVE is not designed with planned obsolescence. This is why there has never been EVE II or EVE 2011, or EVE: The Bankers Panty Raid... |

No Console game has lasted more than 3 years. It officially becomes a graveyard game after that.
Yes and no. The non-EVE players may leave Dust altogether, but remember that EVE is paying for this game and we will continue to pay for this game as long as EVE exists. So while the non-EVE players may go away and the Dust battle moons may be really low on population, the EVE Pod Pilots / Dust Bunnies will still be there fighting to maintain / gain sovereignty. CCP has stated many times that they intend to make Dust an integral part of sovereignty warfare in EVE, which means we will need Dust bunnies as long as EVE exists. |

Not at all... We do think you guys need to HTFU and remember that you are joining our world though... Not creating CoD 62 or Battlefield 1929... When you look closely at the various complaints from the EVE players about the Dust players they tend to focus on those two areas.

Garrett makes a critical point here that many people will miss, even EVE players. As of the most recent expansion a few months ago, CCP has put out 17 expansions for EVE, that is more than Sony put out for EQ, more than Blizzard has put out for WoW. Unlike the CoD series, BF series, Madden Football series, etc, all 17 of these expansions are fully integrated to the main game, as such you don't get one expansion and only have access to that content and the original, you get access to everything that has come before... And you retain all of your character's stats, abilities, assets, etc. |
