Just like with private / moderated channels versus local, I'm confident that CQ and establishments will have management tools vs the "open areas" of a station.

It will be interesting to see how the comms side is handled. Currently, Eve's channels are a real strength compared to other MMOs I have played. They all seem to have a pretty horrible and clunky communication system that they have copied from each other.

Easy to spot them, and report.

Also, we can establish an RP hotspot before Incarna, and have everyone meet there. A 0.4 system or something.

Have they confirmed intra-system Interbus is not going to happen?

they haven't yet, it will probably happen, but if it doesn't...well, I'd think CCP deserves a sticker.

I haven't seen any confirmation but I'd be shocked beyond words if they implement Interbus as many RPers use it.

Yeah looks not very probable. Or it would be a free jumpclone system without any maluses.

Need holograms though T_T

Well... http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Interbus_Shuttle

What else would the point of InterBus be, and why would that shuttle desc talk about growing awareness of the iB brand amongst capsuleers?

I wouldn't be too surprised...would be pretty awesome tbh.

It will add to RP in much the same way voice fonts did.

It will be awesome!

Hey, voice fonts added a lot to the game.  Just ask anyone in ReAw that were around when I was on Petra and had been drinking.   :D

Or out of Re-Aw but managed to cajole you into coming and saying hi in OOC voice.

Everybody from back then should remember that Petra looooooooooooves the cock! :lol:

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Is there anyone who actually thinks that Incarna will not benefit RP? Is that a thing?

Me. I am with Desi here on why.

There's no real benefits to Incarna. Avatar driven RP will always be utterly immersion-breaking for me as the characters just can't emote anywhere near what an ./emote can do. I hate doing something slightly complex or really simple like brushing hair back behind my ear before lighting a smoke in text and just watch my avatar stand there and stare stupidly at a spot right above and to the left of the other guy's ear.

Pure immersion breaking.

This.

Oh yeah, WIS itself.

Meh.  They're not going to have the same range of stuff that would be possible were players allowed to fiddle with stuff at a deeper level like some Source mods, and sure it would be nice to have more arbitrary details sometimes but in general I don't see it adding much.
