We will definitely continue supporting them, just like we did before, but there is always room for improvement. Anything specific you have in mind? Smile

EDIT: Unless you mean the live events, in which case you might find this post from CCP Dropbear interesting.

I'm not sure if thats a question you really want me to answer here - just ask poor navigator what its like to sit next to me when i get going :P But sure, I have billions of ideas. Player events are the only things that ever drove me to play eve and they're all I spent my time doing before I quit, and I think they're a completely untapped marketing tool for CCP. The announcement of renewed attention to the community is what brought me back although its a little depressing to see so many of the team gone. I will have a serious think about some of the ideas that are actually feasable and relevant now (some of my ideas are a little outdated now i'd say) and get back to you. I'll also see if I can find my "T'amber's Bible to running, managing and marketing ingame eve events" document which some people found useful.

But the first thing that would be good is something like this: http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s260/MrOosterman/eventmenu_version2_mouseover.jpg

Its extremely hard for CCP to support or market player events with the potential for scams and negative results reflecting back on CCP and its something that would need to be adresses before anything extensive could happen on a wider scale than it does already. Other than news posts, unsold items from the eve shop, free fanfest tickets, and free accounts how do you actually support them, and how many people get this kind of support, if this still happens at all? TBH i've only really been back for 2 days so I'm way out of the loop, and I'm not sure whats happening ingame (although I would if there was a portal or mechanic somewhere) so I should /spam :P :P

Not sure if this will be seen alllll the way back here.

Now, community vol' programs.

Wouldnt this be a awesome time to breath life back into the ISD and bring back AURORA and STAR?

Failings for Aurora -

The players always insta killed us as we were fitted with T2 - T2 isnt a bi deal now allowing story arcs to really be lived.
Not enough events - Dont limit EP's this time, at least not as much, a SEP was as able as a EP to do core story lines yet it was never allowed.
Politics - Just... no. Nebula left entirely due to politics.
Dev time - Ammount of dev time to create the super chars, item lists etc.
Dev tools - Did EA's or even EP's ever really need /tr etc?

Dev's i know some of you came from the ISD in particular one red headed (or was it ginger...?) CCP'er, so how about pushing this along, surely Helmar can understand the players excitement to see some teal text in local?

I remember hearing about the AURORA program in the past and it would be awesome to see it back. Keep up with the good changes CCP and bring this back!
