EVE General Discussion

I refer to the Eve Live Events account on Twitter.
@EVE_LiveEvents


I know that a lot of people might think that live events are for RPers, but in fact, just about everybody loves a good live event. Even if you think RP is dumb, but like salvage, you can take a salvage ship to one and you won't be let down. I have lost a lot of faction modules at live events and I see others also flying elite frigates and losing them too.

It's also notable that with the suspect flag, the looting of any live event related "mothership" or whatever could also lead to PVP opportunities. In the previous live events, not just the one in Luminaire, there was a bit of that going on.

It's also worthy to point out that from one live event to the other I have run into and fleeted with players with whom I have done that only in that situation, so there's a kind of community out there that otherwise only gets involved on that level when there's something going on.

Finally, this is more than a game, it's a sci fi epic in the making, and being a part of the storyline in your favorite series is almost as epic as being in an episode of Firefly or Star Trek (were it possible). Who knows, maybe somebody will pull of some game-changer and be mentioned in a future Eve novel.


Given that, I'm surprised that this account does not have more followers. There's nothing more depressing than logging in or checking the forums to discover that there was a live event and totally missed it, even on weekends! Yes, nothing makes me want to jump off a bridge more than finding out there was a live event and I was wasting time derping it up on Facebook.

That's a qualification for slapping oneself real hard.


So if you like live events or what opportunities it offers, and you are on Twitter, consider following that account. It's the best way to know when something is going down when not logged in and in the Live Events chat, or cruising the live events forums.
