I tried both. The official link did not work and the backup link rejected my connection. Racist bastards. P

I really did not think so many people were going to show up, last year it was advertised and we had 600 people show up and it was a bit laggy but no crashes. this year 1800 people showed up and blew my mind and we crashed the server node which was not what i expected but the fireworks still continued and we had a good time.

the winners of the raffle are listed here

Oh God, i'm having flashbacks of RIFT when Trion did the River of Souls event. Thank you for bringing up that part of my life I tried to forget.

I went to see the fireworks, local was at 1750 and I landed at the station seconds after 00:00:00. Not sure if I missed the display or perhaps there wasn't one at all, but there was certainly a lot of smartbombing going on.

Did anyone actually see a fireworks display?


There wasn't any, I was there 2hrs before til 10 min after(the 10min after wasn't by choice ;P)
Maybe ccp couldn't undock and start the fireworks ;p


Well, I was there about 7 mins after midnight UTC, and there seemed to be plenty going on. Admittedly, I started logging on about 1 min before midnight, and when I eventually undocked at a nearby station, all my damn modules were offlined!

Kinda expected Daggaroth to have filed one of those fleet-action report things to get the node reinforced, even if he only expected 500 Smile But, the music was good, and I managed to get on prob. 30-60 seconds before he did - all in all, something worth experiencing at least once. The youtube vids showed a bit more in the first few minutes than what I saw, but I didn't miss much action. Perhaps a little more capacity-planning needed for next year.P

Thanks for the show, Daggaroth, and to everyone else there for an abundant supply of trash-talk in local. No thanks to Concord, though, for bloody decloaking me all the time.What?

Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend the event but I was around just before hand with the system reaching 1400 people. Good job NER team!

Nice coverage of the event... I think the most I saw in local was approaching 1850. Its a shame CCP didn't reinforce the node (did they know about the event?)

You seem really bitter that a PLAYER RUN EVENT WHERE THEY GAVE OUT FREE PRIZES didn't meet your expectations.

CCPs skills at planning ahead strikes 1 more time


you would of thought that they would of reinforced that system if they advertised it

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

Not bitter, just disappointed. Should have realized it was just another bs scam from the same bunch of losers that have nothing better to do. I don't even recall any of those names on the winning list at the station, and I was there from 2 hrs before the 'so-called' was to happen.
And again, WHAT FIREWORKS? whats the vid from? cause I was there at station and at the moon, back and forth tryin to get a view and less lag.

Save ur 'Holy Sh!t some people' for the lamers hanging around the cald bord zone tageting ppl.

Huh? You weren't looking very hard then. I saw 2-3 of the winners there when they were announced; 1 was in his Raven closer to the moon, torpedoing an innocent container that was just minding its own business.
