Saw this in Game Informer. The free model definitely intrigues me, I just hope that you won't be forced to pay for something that is required in-game, or buy a weapon that gives you a direct advantage over the opposition. Maybe to customize, but definitely not anything beyond that.

I feel like I would need to dedicate my life to fully get into EVE Online, which is not happening anytime soon. There's also the whole me not liking MMOs thing. That might just be a problem. ;)

Yep, it's definitely that last one. The only way I could justify spending that much time on a single game is if it were for a review of a newly released game. There's just no way.

Played Eve for 4 years, suddenly began to hate the time it took to do anything and quit. I don't miss it. This addon will probably infuriate a lot of PC players, at least that's my guess since it allegedly affects sovereignty. Good thing the 'CC' in CCP stands for 'Crowd Control'.

I've played eve (on and off, off atm :P) for about 5 years. I want this not because of "omg i can finally play eve" and not because it looks like a good shooter (looks alright, haloish, which isn't my thing :P) but because of the way it ties in to EvE.

While microtransactions in the game do sound like a bad idea, it could easily not be. So far from what I've heard it seems like you can't outright just buy good shit, being a higher lvl/rank gives you access to buy it, and since such a heavy emphasis is being placed on isk for your equipment and everything (also just note that in eve, when you lose your ship its gone. Dead, you don't "respawn" in your ship. The fittings are either dead or looted by someone else most likely :P, so I wouldn't be surprised if the microtransactions were for things you could get for isk, but instead of brokering contracts with some power block for the isk or working with your outfit to get it yourself you could buy it.

Of course I could be completely wrong but I hope and have some faith in them not screwing it up, eve has never been "player" friendly exactly. Your not some hero entering a new world with everything positive to look forward too, your a pod pilot being thrown into an evil unjust world full of people that'll kill you more then half the time and you don't just get stuff handed to you. I hope dust is the same ^^

I just want a game like this to succeed because of the potential of new types of gaming can be achieved. On one side a MMORPG and the other FPS bringing to together the world of space combat. Heck if DUST is successful then a Warhammer40k game could be possible, which is what i truly desire the most... for the emperor!!!
