We used to actually have decent live events in a time long gone...

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

By the way.. How are you doing? Haven't talked to you in aaaaaaaaaaages..

People have been complaining about copy/paste events in Eve since 2003.

I miss the old CCP actors live events stuff, frankly. Stuff like mysteries and hidden items and other junk stashed away in some corner of new eden/wormholes, waiting for us to trip over them, and advance the story.

Live events...
they happened during Eve's golden age. I remember some of them, in particular the ones around the Sansha incursions, before the Incursion expansion.
I remember those times we dropped everything and went as many jumps as it took to get to the on-the-spot incursion, in anything we had at the time. There would be text of other colors (I don't remember which color) in local of actors playing the role of NPC rallying players. We would follow them, picking up more ships as we went, a bigger fleet, kitchen sink, vets, noobs, missioners, pirates and bears alike. Who has logi? Who can FC? We need boost.
That first time reaching the site of the violent wormhole, more nightmares on the field that you could imagine, and in an exploration ship (before SoE ships) hardly fit to run missions let alone deal with nightmares pouring out of a wormhole only to be followed by a carrier. My hands were shaking. The fear felt real.
Valiant efforts were made to hold it together. SYNE and FC0RD. Players put a real effort into it, organizing symposiums, reports, research efforts. Even back then the forums would scroll out in days. Even the IGS page, if you stayed away for a day, you might miss something if you didn't scroll down.
And the novels that tied them all together. Empyrean Age, Templar One, Burning Life... and the chronicles! if you liked "pulp science fiction" the chronicles were it. They captured that essence of the game in those chronicles well.
Those days are gone. Most of those players are gone. Most of those who are gone were only sticking around for those live events and the immersion/content that grew from them.
The last true "live event", something about black sites, an entire pickup fleet was fed into a nullsec gatecamp and raep-caged in a bubble. CCP's way of saying "this is the real Eve, roleplayers and people who care about the lore am immersion. Dropbear is gone. Eat sh!t".
Apparently they did.
I still remember those days.

Angels need their own event. Being the buddies of the Serpentis during last summer's Shadow of the Serpentis wasn't enough. No Angel skin rewards from the reward crates, for one thing. |

Which low-sec Sansha event did you guys reach and not die in? I made damn sure FCORD died every time I was online :^)
But, yes, to the general point: Live Events has been squished and relegated to a 'in game promotional advertisement', more than storyline exploration. We Sansha saw it happening with the announcement, deployment, and subsequent change in behavior following the Incursion expansion. To date, from what I've heard and studied, that trend continued, especially as prominent proponents of the Live Events model left CCP.
There are some hard realities with trying to run such a system, I'll admit. You don't necessarily have the benefit of 'familiarity' that lends to continued plot building ala Dungeons and Dragons DMing style. You have political issues, such as favoritism accusations (and the long trails of proof of that in the past) that shadows such an idea. Then you have the relative degrees of interactivity: everyone can go pew-pew, but as you abstract and challenge ideas (Arek'jalaan), the community may or may not involve as many as you want. How much content can you re-visit before it becomes passe? Though, that one could be argued of EVE as a whole in it's own way ...
If I sat down I could probably overview list all the difficulties of such a model, but, the killing blow is always going to be, 'is this a financially sound investment?'. In other words, can CCP justify putting money, time, and effort supporting the system for their playerbase and expect a reasonable return on investment (be it monetary gains or player satisfaction). If the answer is 'yes', the next question then becomes 'how much?'. If you can get it past that rigorous demand, you have the potential of supporting roleplayer systems in a meaningful and sustainable way.
I honestly can't remember at this point if the Live Event model(s) ever convincingly reached that threshold. It has been, and seems to continue to be, treated as a novelty time waster.
But, I suppose fighting the fight for not only Live Event systems, but more roleplayer<->game ones as well (e.g, Factional Loyalty that isn't Faction Warfare) would be a separate thread altogether.
