Caelum Dominus Invicta.	Posted - 2009.06.20 09:01:00 - [1] Edited by: Caelum Dominus on 20/06/2009 09:02:59 Edited by: Caelum Dominus on 20/06/2009 09:02:27 Hello, world. I posted this thread in General Discussion some time back, but somehow I didn't realize that the crowd I'm catering for doesn't frequent that section (... and with good reason). I'm a web developer with too much time and bandwidth on my hands. I'd use that time to roam about in EVE looking for great fights, but I'm sure we can all agree that they are a sparse commodity. That's about to change. For the past few months, I've been developing a service called EVE Arena. In a nutshell, EVE Arena facilitiates for thrilling encounters whenever you'd like. You'll no longer need to set aside an evening's worth of waiting around to find yourself immersed in the roaring autocannons, frantic instructions and exploding spaceships we all love so much. If you'd rather leave the frantic instructions out, that's cool, too. EVE Arena accomodates for both 1v1 encounters and fleet-based skirmishes. Both divisions are ranked and filled to the brim with features that allow you to find opponents and schedule matches by the click of a button. There's more to EVE Arena than hours of fun, challenging engagements and unparalleled e-fame, though. There's also money to be earned. Lots of money. To get started, point your browser to eve-arena.com and register an account. Bring some friends and have a great time. If you have no friends, I hear blowing people up is a sure-fire way to make some. See you there!
Caelum Dominus Invicta.	Posted - 2009.06.20 22:03:00 - [2] Originally by: "Caelum Dominus" EVE Arena accomodates for 1v1 encounters and fleet-based skirmishes.

Caelum Dominus Invicta.	Posted - 2009.06.21 15:27:00 - [3] Thanks for your enthusiasm, everyone. As Bioso suggested, please spread the word to like-minded people - it's surprisingly hard to advertise EVE Arena to the players it caters for. In other news, killmail integration is now in development. You'll be able to view an archive of matches played with killboard-esque presentations of ships and equipment.
Caelum Dominus Invicta.	Posted - 2009.06.21 22:36:00 - [4] Originally by: Stubnitz Just had my first match, some problems with submitting the result from both parties (You have mail) but all in all this idea could really work. thanks - I've looked into the issue, and it was but a slight misunderstanding. ;-) EVE Arena
Caelum Dominus Invicta.	Posted - 2009.06.22 18:17:00 - [5] Originally by: Bioso Just had my first match and think this might become a new big thing in eve. It is clear and easy to get a fair fight. It's fun and very affordable. Me likey. 1 vs 1 in hi sec would require a little more standarised rules. - Each opponent flips a can and as both have become red they warp to the arena would be a good one. (Or warp on xx:xx EVE time). - Adding rule that states you can warp in anywhere at the arena (0-100km) would save some questions. - Perhaps add killboard as an extension to the site. Thanks for your enthusiasm and suggestions. I'm working on integrating killmails; you'll be able to submit them with a victory and the service will parse through it and present it in a killboard-esque fashion with the match result. I'll update the knowledge base with additional rules (or perhaps suggestions).

Caelum Dominus Invicta.	Posted - 2009.06.25 13:12:00 - [7] Edited by: Caelum Dominus on 25/06/2009 13:13:19 The rules for the solo division have been revised. In an attempt to encourage pilots to stay within 24km of each other, matches are now declared void if either pilot initiates warp.
Caelum Dominus Invicta.	Posted - 2009.07.06 09:44:00 - [8] Originally by: Nostredeus Morphius In my honest opinion it's a great start. Thanks. Originally by: Nostredeus Morphius Add a forum to the website so we can get some community involvement etc This is on the list, but as I'm not looking to throw on a phpBB-esque thingiee it will take a bit of work. Originally by: Nostredeus Morphius Also are fights played on the test server or tranq? Tranquility.
Caelum Dominus Invicta.	Posted - 2009.07.16 23:57:00 - [9] Edited by: Caelum Dominus on 16/07/2009 23:59:51 Edited by: Caelum Dominus on 16/07/2009 23:58:52 Originally by: Googol Tudoris Looks like a good system. It needs a lot more people, but it looks like a great way to get fun, casual PvP. Seems it'd be great for things like introducing people to PvP and fleet tactics, or getting a killboard established. Well done Thanks. You're right, it does need more people - unfortunately it's been hard to get the word out to the people it caters for. I plan to suspend EVE Arena in the near future.

I'm sure they'd be able to put a notice in the news for you :) Quote: Real shame there will be no second season. I reckon given time this would have worked:( Anyway thanks for all the work you put in, i enjoyed my time participating. I'm confident that the concept has potential. With CCP and the in-game news division unwilling to advertise it, however, EVE Arena will remain undisclosed. I feel there's little more I can do to advertise the concept to the players EVE Arena caters for. While I appreciate the effort of the participants who have done their best to spread the word, it simply won't do. We need CCP and the in-game news division to give a ****, but they don't. I feel helpless.
Caelum Dominus Invicta.	Posted - 2009.07.23 12:28:00 - [11] EVE Arena has been suspended. See the official announcement for details. Teams that registered will have the registration fee returned to them within 24 hours. All the best, Caelum Dominus
