Is this the thread times for stuff might appear in? For those of us who often play at off peak times we aren't likely to spot any Dev run build up, so probably need a more direct hint about when we need to get up at crazy hours to take part.


For that I would direct you to https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=2938 (In Game Events and Gatherings), https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=260 (Intergalactic Summit), and our various twitter accounts. These places are where we are currently publishing information. That said, we hope to have a new home on the forum soon.

Is it possible that our reactions on these events will reflect in future expansions and chronicles?

For example if we keep helping pirate factions, will it be possible in some future expansion that some pirate factions develop an imba ship or wpn(because of the stolen technology) which it will be introduced in the game and which might help em to take an important part in faction sov warfare?

BALEX, bringing piracy on a whole new level.

We're taking nothing off the table right now. This is very much something I would like to see happen, though it's easier for us to influence the lore than active feature development.

Not one specific event. A return of events on as regular a basis as we can get, with a team, and a plan.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but this is about CCP driven, in character live events.

That said, if you were referring (massively incorrectly) to the Dev Caravan events of last year, then I can confirm they will be returning this year, though that's all I'll say for now.

How long are they going to last this time? IIRC Everyone gets all excited about Live Events for a few months, and then suddenly they disappear never to be heard from again (or at least, not for a year or two!).

Do you think you've found a good balance as to how often to run them so that they remain fresh and exciting?

No i was referring to the fact that the majority of threads ive seen lately were about frieghter ganks so this is a welcome relief...
Also i remeber those caravans... got on about five killmails with a single bomb...it was nice

We have a very robust plan that sees us through to the end of this year. We know how to keep things fresh (we think) and we hope for a lot of player activity to evolve from the events. I agree that fizzling out has been a problem with events in the past. We are doing what we can to ensure history does not repeat itself, and we have great backing throughout the company.

Those bombers were awesome! Really took us by surprise :) As if millions of e-war drones cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Well hopefully this year i can get off work early enough to join the defense fleet instead of picking off stragglers, speaking of which 3 days advance notice would be great...

Nice to see some more interaction between players and devs.
Always good to see a new "feature" being implemented just hope it's not one of those things that comes with "it's not a bug it's a feature" kinda things.


P.S: Loved the events we had last year and looking forward at another epic battle between the 2 sides Twisted

Maybe if CCP could run specific events and let interested alliances know before hand? or atleast drop a hint, these events would get alot more people attending.

Edit.
It's a suggestion not a Critisicm by the way, looked over what i said and looked kinda dickish :)
