Seems like an initial cap to stop overflow and crashing, then increase it as and when needed.

When your gut instincts tell you something is wrong, trust them. When your heart tells you something is right, ignore it, check with your brain first. Accept nothing, challenge everything.

Never imagined a game with tens of thousands of subscriptions capping a game wide event at 1000 players...even Jita can support more than that:(

how many players in Jita are undocked at any point in time?

"deep level of connection DUST has with EVE Online"

Hah! You're talking about the lag from the Asakai fight ruining dust gameplay or the tiny percentage that affects boring plexing mechanics in Terran FW systems?

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep like an abyss.

Jita load and big fight load are very different. Please also note the part where it says we will be dynamically altering it.

So with a cap we can probably expect not to get higher than 1500 members is it even worth it for nullsec alliances to form up for this?
You know, considering it's like a 40 jump travel :[

It's disappointing that this is still an issue with live events. Out of interest, is it for technical reasons or story?

lol capped at 1000. Only 28K in the game and system locked. Wonder what happens when the fraction of the other ~28K people that join at peak show up and can't get in.

Jita does it better...

So who got in? The Gallente or the Caldari?

So let me know when you alter it. I can't log in my character there that I literally spent hours with moving in equipment in order to participate. Oh wait - U.S. tz here. Short. stick. end.

Remind me which CSM candidates have a cross section of non-EU tz and Live Eventson their platform?


Further thought - if you are going to over hype these things you need to come up with a system that won't waste customer time. How about a participation lottery? Something that get's drawn against days ahead of time. Then players can chose to use or sell the "ticket".

Add'tl - ROFLMAO The blue donut people must be rolling on the floor - they fight under TiDi all the time. Live Events afraid of going into overtime?

What will the range be on the capping? 1000 <> 1500 or 1800 <> 2500?
What's likely? What would you estimate?
We'd love to form up tribe and join in on the festivities, but if I am gonna spend 30 min. trying to get 100 tribbles through the gate we might as well go roam or something.

We won't be able to announce when it gets altered due to the speed at which we will be managing it. Unfortunate, but unpreventable. TiDi will be in full effect in the event, but it can only go so far. Better to rev up slowly and ensure a stable environment than open the floodgates and hope for the best.

My estimate is probably worth nothing, but I would love to see 2k! I'm not a server dude though, so don't know if that is feasible. Rest assured, it is not me that's on the dial Cool

Can you please open the floodgates into the system? The instant influx of hundreds of players from the surrounding systems when you decide to do that will be bigger every minute you wait. Hamsters won't like that ;)

As of DT today, the faction navy response in Luminaire has been deactivated. This means that members of Amarr and Caldari FW corps will not trigger a navy NPC response in the Luminaire system.

(This does NOT affect the police response to crimes and outlaws - CONCORD consequences will still be in effect for now)
To expand a bit on the above reply:

DISABLED: Faction Navy.

The Faction Navy will not respond in Luminaire regardless of your faction status with the Gallente Federation, e.g., regardless of if you are allied with opposing factions.

NOT DISABLED, still in full effect: Faction Police and CONCORD.

The Faction Police is still operating and will respond if pilots with a bad security status enter the system (note, your security status is your standings with CONCORD). Since Luminaire is a 1.0 system then pilots with a security status of -2.0 or worse will be attacked by the Faction Police. For more details, please read http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Security_status#Security_Status_and_Traveling_Restrictions

CONCORD is also still operating and will respond to criminal acts with deadly force. For more details on Crimewatch and CONCORD's response, please read http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=73443

This is pretty dumb.

If you want to enter Gallente space, don't be at war with the Gallente.
