Joe R:
Will Incarna be ready for the Winter slot do you think?


CCP_Hammerhead:
Incarna in it's full form won't be ready by Winter. I have to be honest and manage expectations there. Although I can say we're working really hard on bring you something of value that is Incarna related in that release.


Joe R:
One could argue that, with the development of Dust 514 creating a seperate space for ground combat and ambulation like activities, will this detract from the importance of Ambulation in EVE Online?


CCP_Hammerhead:
Well one might argue that but the two experiences are going to be totally different. Dust 514 is a run and gun vehicle based shooter on console. Incarna is a social experience with more intrigue and political machinations.


Joe R:
It's true, Ambulation is being built up as a more social extension of the main EVE gameplay, which brings me to a question reader Blank Eyes brought up:


CCP_Hammerhead:
Well... it really depends on which aspect or how you define "second life in EVE". We would love if people like Incarna so much they spend a lot of time in station. Our goal with it is that in a few years time it's so integrated that when new people join EVE they can't even imagine how the game was before you could walk around.
We want to create the ultimate sci-fi simulator where you can experience every sci-fi dream you've ever had. Every movie, book, tv show whatever... we want you to be able to immerse yourself in out world and experience these things first hand. We're going to keep developing and improving EVE until we get there.


Joe R:
On a serious note, Tidoden would like to know how character creation will be affected by Ambulation: but can we auto-transform our existing avatars into a full 3d one?


CCP_Hammerhead:
No we won't auto-transform your character. We talked a lot about developing such a system but the new characters are just so much better and so different we decided a human eye was going to be the best way to copy your current portrait.
