First, I would like to sincerely thank the CCP devs who are making these live events/NPC interactions possible. As an avid RPer in eve for a couple years now, it really means a lot to see a few devs working hard to renew the rather dead storyline.

On that note, however, I do have a number of suggestions. As interesting as the live events are, most of them tend to focus on the combat aspect of EVE. Although this is all good and fair enough, I would be highly interested in the development of the political, social, and scientific scenes of New Eden. There has already been some progress in this respect...the assassination attempt on Heth recently, for example. However, I'm still dying to see the outcome. Will the CEP deliver a report on Heth's status? Will he be fit to remain the leader of the State? And how about the Intaki? Is there social unrest after seeing a city in fellow low-sec territory being razed to the ground by pirate forces? So many possibilities to explore, I can understand the demand may be quite intimidating, but I hope to see such things addressed soon!

Thanks again CCP (Falcon and Eterne, mainly :P), keep it up!

^^ This. Thanks for the effort you're making Live team for what is, realistically, a minority group within the game. Don't burn yourselves out.

^^ This. Thanks to the Live Events Team for keeping EVE's critically acclaimed storyline nuanced.

Without the RP community and Live Events the game's fiction / stories would be memo's.

Completely irresponsible but nothing new for CCP to use these events to prop up their favourite militias. With this I refer to Polaris fleet in Old Man Star which did it best to hamper Caldari side of FW by causing time dilation which causes problem with existing FW mechanics.

I don't think you need to worry about myself and CCP Eterne burning ourselves out.

We both have a huge love for EVE's backstory, and have been roleplayers in game for a long time. Personally, I'll be celebrating my 10th Anniversary in EVE 8 days after the game does so, and CCP Eterne has been with us for almost 8 years I believe.

Roleplay has been a core part of gameplay for both of us for best part of the last decade, and we love it from the ground up Smile

The thanks are much appreciated, but for us the real repayment is seeing players enjoying their time in EVE and becoming more proactively involved in story telling and roleplay.

Big smile

Could I also get an answer why you chose FW system for the live event, of all possible choices, when time dilation is know to cause massive balance issues with FW plexes. Or are you defending this by saying "We had no idea having a BS loot pinayata dropping like soap bar in prison shower would bring out nasty people out in droves".

In answer to the OP's specific questions, you'll receive answers to all of them in the coming weeks and months. They're pretty much all things we've discussed internally.
