Great to see LIVE EVENTS make a welcome return!

I got heavily involved in using our Agency system to defend the Republic against the Sansha Incursion events and our new agency system (PANDORA) has already come into effect with the new storyline (aid to Oddelulf).

I thrive on this sort of thing and it would be great to see the 'Background story' RP element of EvE continue to kick in and the EvE State take shape. This is the perfect opportunity for the player-base to get involved where their participation could cause storylines to fork off into different patterns Big smile



Thumbs up.

I've always thought TRIAD's agency system has been a great example of players providing content for other players.

Good to see you interacting with the events we're running. Smile

Is this a "lets grind incursions together" kind of thing?


This is separate from the Sansha live events - very different.


Maybe but if I get wind of a live event near an Incursion when I'm FCing expect a few Incursion fleets to plop up & stray from thier regular grind after worrd gets out in the armour & shield channels Big smile

I'm sorry sirs, but as a french (and so a True Gallente) I can't bear seeing a S after chapeau ...

Just to go back to the real subject of this very topic, I luv you men, seeing you bringing back real live events :)

I may come back from WH space.

This is actually what we want to strictly avoid - CCP do not appear in the lore. Characters in events, and dev roams, are two completely distinct things and will forever remain that way.

This was a fairly nice thing to find with my birthday tomorrow. Evidently, CCP adores me and gives me birthday gifts.

I'm curious as to routes of interaction for these events. I have a fairly staunchly pro-Sansha's Nation character that I used to support the National fleets in a lot of the live events in the past; Vaun is much more of a trader and industrialist, though. Will it be possible to interact with these events without being there shooting away?

I absolutely understand if there's not. I mean, in a setting where for a lot of capsuleers Might Makes Right, preferring to attack people economically can sometimes be a weak approach. :P

Many happy returns! We have a few ideas that don't involve shooting (though we can't guarantee you won't be shot at by other players!). Hope you'll celebrate by coming to play in our event today - it starts in 1 hour! Shockedhttps://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2008353#post2008353

Delighted to see a return of live events. I look forward to updating the lore guide as necessary (and even maybe killing a few ebil pirates myself... or, more likely, being killed before I manage to fire anything due to massive incompetence). Keep up the good work :-D

It's not like the Angels are doing any real harm. Just playfully burning a few minmatar worlds. We will all be laughing about this in a few months. I am laughing already.

I wish this event team all the success I can.

Also, here's hoping it's allowed to go on past the release of the expansion it is promoting.

Hooray live events!

Yes, USTZ events would also be appreciated.

Somewhat saddned to hear Arek'Jalaan (and presumably the entire w-space plotline) will not be making an immediate return. That said I hope that it serves as an excellent model for future events, especially non-combat events. Hell, part of the "live event" was some guy going from wormhole to wormhole anchoring a POS for long enough to get its coordinates (until that functionality was disabled). Tell me that's not creative engagement.

Actually, these "wastes" are some of the best meta and are what set EvE apart as a different, unique and worth playing game!

Did I say how infinitely, poetically awesome is the blog picture?

A question: The Gurista event that is ongoing and on the previous one, the pirates were flown by CCP staff inpersonated characters or those were NPCs?

It's CCP staff. There might be a few NPC's, but live events have always involved live dev-actors.
