This is probably one of my biggest concerns with EVE today. I miss the old style events. |

CCP needs to understand that RP/immersion of EVE and especially live events will be the main factors that will ensure game's future. Not balancing, not graphics updates, not lag, not Ambulation.
Immersion and live events are #1 issue, to which CCP managers should dedicate talented, thoughtful people. |

/signed. This is by far the most important reason for me deciding to join Ushra'Khan and RP. Seeing the news stories on these events and peoples participation in them lead me to extend my 14 day trial. These events kept me in game during all the tough times. They are by far, the most entertaining and sorely missed aspect of this game. |

Ambulation is finally on the cards but FW activity is steadily decreasing because of the lack of any real advantages to taking systems.
The RP side of the game really needs some direct CCP involvement to show the community they still care about it. Otherwise, (seriously) what is the point of all these chronicles and short stories?

I support this and so does my alt!
Please, please, please bring back Aurora events or something similar thereto.
They were something amazing and unique to Eve. They made the setting come alive. They gave the loyalists input from their factions, something new to spin their imaginations around, and they were open ended - they could go any way, based on what the players did.
In particular, The Wolves of Pator arc was exquisite. The "NPCs" had vivid personalities and they acted according to them. They were dynamic, responding to interactions that crossed boundaries between storylines. They were...
Argh, god, it was so damn GOOD.
As a lifelong roleplayer, I've seen stories where the writers thought that "affecting the story" was simply the potential for players to turn up at a fight as determined by the storytellers, and win or lose.
But in a truly immersive environment, you have NPCs with goals, interacting with PCs and trying to achieve those goals, rather than a storyline with highlighted areas where PCs can push or pull. The perfect NPC cannot be distinguished from a PC in any way.
That's when you have a living story - more than that, not just one story, but many of them, all interacting with each other and having effects on each other, and you can drown happily in the complexity.
Please, please, please can we have our wonderful greenies back? We loved them very much.

I support this.
I have never experienced a live event (my character is only 6 months old), but I find the "news" are a little ... artificial. It lacks the in-game events to make the "world news" more palpable, more in-line with the players. When the Titan in Luminaire came (the first day of Empyrean Age), I made a long trip only to see it in my t1 frigate, only to be a tiny element of this universe, to maybe be a part of the history.... but there was nothing more (to my knowledge), nothing to do, and the Titan is still here, doing nothing ... :(
Please, bring back live events !

Yes, yes, yes!
I don't really care if Aurora had a bad rep. The one moment I'll always remember from EVE was when U'K was holding the Muritor vigil and I suddenly take notice of three Fleet Tempests appearing, with a Sleipnir arriving a bit later. That scene was memorable.
Bring back in-game live events!

I have been lucky to be involved in many stories. From an escaped slave requesting escort from 9UY to Rens, chased by slavers, to flying with the Defiants against the Amarrian battle-stations.

I have never been in a live event but that would be great. It dont have to be epic scale battles to crash servers, answering a distress call of a trade convoy can make all setting of EVE real and live.
pleeeease :)

Supported. I didn't have the opportunity to get involved in... well... any events, but they were tasty little vignettes that I would have LIKED to be part of. The closest I got was offering some BMs (this was before WTZ) to a freighter pilot (he declined) as I didn't have a combat ship to hand when I saw the event kicking off... but it still has a warm fuzzy feeling about it.
Of course, Internal Affairs would need to oversee a reintroduction of events, and care would need to be taken to ensure no corruption would mar this incarnation. Given that both Hardin and Jade have expressed satisfaction with the procedures in place following t20Gate, I am inclined to think CCP runs a far cleaner shop than it did.
Obviously, the rewards would need to be carefully monitored as well as the conduct, and the events should not merely be shows that can be gatecrashed but must take into account player interaction. One constant would be the "blue text: GET LOOTZ!" syndrome. Given that event "griefing" will be inevitable, it can be planned for, and mechanisms like temporary standing hits or docking-denials can be applied easily to manage the problem.
It also seems the sort of thing that White Wolf could have a field day (or better yet, many) with. They do world-building stuff don't they? So, perhaps now there would be no need for oh-so corruptible volunteers?

Yes to players affecting the story. So long as it's done well.
More small events, allowing players of all abilities to get involved would be good.
Multiple events at the same time, so people don't all crowd into the same place.
Loot shouldn't be a motivator, it should be about being able to point to news stories and say "I was there!"
Consequences to your actions. If Jamyl Sarum's out and about, and you shoot at her, you (and maybe your corporation) should expect to be -10 to the Empire and allies for a long, long, time. This might sound drastic, but it is also an opportunity for people to say "See how hated I am by the Empire, Well, I didn't get that way by shooting their navy, no. I took a shot at that witch Sarum herself!"
Don't ask me about the cows. |

This.
There's nothing quite like the feeling you get when you're reading about an event you were present at.

Edited by: Garreck on 28/10/2008 16:28:19 A topic so near and dear to my heart. I do wonder if there is a suppository of some sort outlining all of the events that have taken place, how many folks were involved in each, what the result was in the short term, and what the implications were long term? The example Jade uses is a great one in terms of far reaching involvement by many players...but it's just one of so many. New players are being stiffed, to be honest.
Emperian Age should've been a triumphant culmination of so much actionable storyline, made manifest through the biggest live event of all: Faction Warfare. Instead, FW is stale and lifeless. The precident that brought the story to where it is has been wiped away and we get soundbites to fill in the blanks instead of direct involvement. FW needs a lot of other work to be sure...but a return of live events would go a great long way to making us feel involved in a living galaxy. It's like the difference between looking at a beautiful painting of...oh, I dunno...a beach, vs standing on that beach, feeling the wind in your hair, the sand in your toes, and smelling the salty air.
Don't make us look at the picture, CCP; bring us into the picture.

Just like some others I regret that the Jamyl Sarum coronation wasn't for the players (I acquired a Navy Apoc especially for it to show off) .
But I don't think it would be realistic that those thousands of players could be enjoying regular events by a in comparison limited staff.
There is my desire that there would be an event or ultimate mission where the 'end boss' would be a CCP controlled character. |

Not everything can be done ingame, but as an "ingame or it didn't happen" person, I do certainly support this.

As Evanda said, I and my alt both support this. I'm too new to have been in on any of the events but... well. To my mind it sort of comes down to a basic thing. I started playing because it's the kind of game that I'm a sucker for but I started getting tired of just shooting things, so I started trawling the forums. I did a lot of poking around and came across the RP side of things and... well. It's obvious where I went from there, I suppose. Why, though... the reason I got so excited was the thought that what I could do could affect, in some tiny way, history... I mean, look at all of the event results, and every so often I hear about other things that shaped how the in-game history went. And while I'm not going anywhere because of the interactions with the other characters, the main storyline... I don't know. I agree with the general sentiment that the news articles just feel... more and more flat. Not poorly written or anything, but I remember corp and alliance members going to Malaken for the relief, or talk about Muritor, or any of the rest.
A lot of people are mentioning the coronation, and I agree about it, but another thing like Skarkon and the Angels prior to the FW kickoff. We, Republic loyalists are sitting there arguing about it ICly but OOCly? There's no scope for doing anything about it so we just get frustrated, and then a few days later it resolves itself anyway. I mean, I love the game, and I love the people I'm playing with, but the news and background sometimes seems it might as well be happening in some other game for all I can affect it or vice versa. It's neat information, mostly well written and interesting, but I love and play this game. |
