You implied it wasn't an MMO unless it had those things.

You're misisng the point that none of the MMO aspect is really in place yet. It's a beta. It's not done. We're currently testing the basic gameplay.
Whether you'll ever be able to just walk around a city or something, I have no idea. That won't be in at release for sure. Maybe you'll be able to walk around the war barge and maybe parts of the station. |

If you read what you wrote (which I conventently quoted for you), you said a lot about an open explorable space and then at the very end mentioned something about interaction. Maybe that's not what you meant, but that's what your post said.

If that's what you're looking for, you may be in for a long wait. You're thinking too much in the traditional WoW-esque idea of an MMO. EVE still doesn't have anything yet like that and it's been in development for 10 years. We still can't walk around a station and explore or socialize. We're confied to our quarters just like in DUST. EVE has chat channels and mail, both of which DUST already has.
If you're looking for ways to interact with lots of players through the market, politics, and warfare, that will almost certainly be in by release, probably by open beta later this year. Corps are coming by the end of this month. |

And I already answered.
What you seem to be looking for: maybe never, maybe at some point after release. Probably not soon. The ability to walk around a station will probably happen the same time as it does in EVE. They mentioned being able to walk around parts of the warbarge, so that may in by release. Walking around a city, if it ever happens, is probably years off.
A way to interact with other players: some already there, more coming soon.
You say you've played EVE, but then you complain about ways of socializing and interacting when DUST already has almost all the same methods of communication in place as EVE. I already said corps are coming at the end of the month.
Have you read the dev blogs and watched the videos? I have, and my speculation is an educated guess based on that information, IRC chat with devs, and playing EVE for five years.
I'm not sure what you're expecting except that sentence where you talk about exploring a city or open land and you're acting like you never said that except the last few words at the end. |
