Next you know they sell the data gleaned from such events to institutes for mass psychology and crowd control procedures. EVE will become more of a Petri dish than a MMO.

I rather suspect that it already is…

I had fun, till my client crashed just seconds before 17.00. Lol

I was there early in a bc on my other account, made a few safe spots, looked a bit around who was there.

During DT I read up on the event. and decided that a bc might be a bit too thin to even get 1 shot off. So after DT while keeping informed on what was going on (Le infamous cap) I jumped 23 jumps back to home, grabbed a heavy tanked BS and jumped 23 jumps back.

When I arrived back in Luminaire local was at 700 and I joined up with the Gallente fleet and overall had a fun time, till the crash. Strangely enough the next day I found my ship still in 1 piece and jumped 23 jumps back home.

... went to Luminaire expecting a bonafide "free fire" zone right after DT.... left disappointed, and went to get a "massage" between consenting adults. Cool

I thought it was great, seriously. I was in the 250 man Gallente fleet, and everyone had a great time there.

There are some common criticisms being thrown around that I don' t agree with:

1) 1000 man player cap
-- At about 1500 people the system started becoming totally unuseable. CCP has to cap the system in order for the actors to reliably execute their actions. In general, I think these comments are coming from high-sec carebears who have never seen real 0.0 combat. It's laggy, buggy, and generally unreliable once you pass 1000 players, in large part because having 1000 players in a single MMO area is hugely impressive!

2) Scripted
--Am I the only one who was excited about the event because it was scripted? I thought that was the general premise from the beginning. Eve Online's story unfolds, and the players are invited to participate in the events. This was a conflict between the Gallente Federation and Caldari Navy, a group of destroyer flying rag tag capsuleers aren't the center-point of the story, nor are the 0.0 gangs dropping in to fry dozens of pubbies. 99% of eve is player generated content, it's nice to have things like Titans crashing into planets happen for our entertainment.

The only legit complaint is when CONCORD re-entered the scene for a few minutes.

i dunno. maybe if CCP choose better time for it....

sometimes i really feel like amateur surrounded by children :D
anything happens when i'm at work. Kid came from school/kindergarten and he wants to play. Ok. CCP organized live event.

thant's funny because we speak about different timezones and my zone is +4 of CCP. But even this difference is not enough to me to come from work to play in time Lol

So yes. I haven't enjoyed this event. Maybe if i was 20 years younger...

Greetings

While we do appreciate your well written response to the live event, it would be better if it was in one of the many already posted on the topic. I believe Rule #16 applies to this thread. This is the reason for the lock.
