    You should try signing up for a Paypal account. It's free, and really easy to setup with your bank account, then you can play.

    Not sure how you can pay with Pay-Pal. Besides, isn't that US only? What you can do is purchase a electronic game code from one of many online retailers. The price is actually sometimes cheaper than straight up paying CCP if you can find the right deal. You should be able to find one that supports your payment method of choice (or have someone else buy one for you if not).

    Well EON quoted someone from CCP saying an "optimistic" date would be mid 2008.  So, Q4 2008 to Q2 2009 sounds like the best estimate right now.

    Eve needs to cut out a lot of the empire space stations before they could do something like this, otherwise it'll be a lot of investment just so you can wander around mostly empty stations.

    I imagine that a lot of the stations will just look the same inside, depending on the race/roll of the station.  That way they can just copy them over and over.  Not a big deal IMO.



    I'd like to see corp offices implemented in the stations as well, that would be cool.  Perhaps the ability to rent space in a station for an appartment or something to store nick-naks in.  Give some personal attachment to a particular station beyond where your stuff in your hanger is or where an agent is.

    PayPal isn't US only, I think it's the best method of payment for ebay (including .co.uk), and I know personally it's not US only as I'm from the UK and I have PayPal setup to my bank account.



    But anyway, it seems that you only need a bank account and don't have to use PayPal... if you choose the PayByCash.com method you can use the following:



    "PayByCash™ offers payment solutions for customers who wish to pay via check, direct debit (ACH), bank transfer, CertaPay, money order, PayPal, Western Union, Cyphermint's PayCash system, Citibank's C2it, or many other payment methods."



    Seems to me CCP have covered all payment options.

    Atually if you watch the video you will see a bit where the 2 avitars are standing in a room with a conference table and above it is the  galactic map thats part of the corp office.

    that or limit the amount of corp offices in a station to at least spread corporations out.

    Yeah, exactly. I could've sworn I heard that this was going to be released sometime THIS year.
  • GMan33GMan33 Member UncommonPosts: 79
    Yeah this is gonna be so awesome. I remember how much loved walkin in station in Earth and Beyond. By putting this into EVE, wow its gonna rock! I also read they are going to double the number of employees working on the in-station  stuff, so perhaps the ETA when it comes out could be sooner.
  • CaptRedHandCaptRedHand Member Posts: 54
    Well, from what I've read all the new bling, including in-station will require the new EVE-Vista client. So shell out for a new machine if you want to enjoy any of that.

    Well, I didn't get told, I read it in the EVE-O forum.



    http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=491464



    So, who knows, since there has been no official announcement from CCP yet.

    Never saw that that is indeed worrying unless they dont plan to release this till late this year when i plan on looking into getting Vista myself but only if most of the bugs in vista are sorted out.

  • CaptRedHandCaptRedHand Member Posts: 54
    Yeah, worrying to say the least. Problem for me since I do - not - trust MS and Vista. All of that DRM, Trusted computer stuff  just gets under my skin. So with that change it would either force me to upgrade, miss out on the new content or (continue) not to play.



    Or maybe I will get lucky and WINE will fully support DX10 by the time it comes out.



    BTW, I think this stuff is not scheduled for release until 1-2 years from now so if your already planning to upgrade in the next 12-18 months you should be fine.  Otherwise, you gotta pony up some ISK for that new machine.

    Well actually to get a machine that can run this all happily will take my around £60  [I made my own computer very upgradable].

    Ok, but I'm still worried about this actually making it in-game. We all know CCP makes promises and shows us shiny without ever delivering. I really hope this makes it in, and soon. Not twelve or eighteen months from now.



    Like I've said in the past, a lot upcoming 2nd Gen players have gotten where they expect certain things, walking avatars is just one of them. I think it would be major boon to both current players and bring in new ones. This feature alone brings tons of depth to the game.



    Let's all hope this doesn't become "vaporware" eh?
    Please give an example.... I've been playing EVE off/on sine Beta phase 2 and I can't, for the life of me, think of anything they've flat out stated WILL be in the game that they haven't delivered on.  Especially stuff they've released in-game video of.

    Clarification:

    Running EVE in VISTA with DX10 will give you better graphics.

    Running EVE in XP with DX9 will still be better graphics than now, but not as good as Vista

    Running EVE under either OS will have the same FEATURES



    Re-read the posts.

    If you listen during the video the devs specifically say it's not pre-rendered it's in-game footage.
