This last week a man called Brian Haw died after a decade long protest in Parliament Square London.
I'm not happy about the proposed changes to EVE Online, many of you have protested vocally or by cancelling your sub. I'm going to park my battleship outside Jita 4-4 and will stay there until the three main requests of the community are met by CCP. Not just promised but actually accomplished. I will only go offline for DT or any extenuating circumstances where I will ask someone else to take my place.
If you don't believe me come to the statue outside Jita 4-4 from 15:00 GMT, I welcome anyone else who has nothing better to do to join me today and hold a vigil for our game. If you think I'm mad by all means try to kill me. :)
Will setup a ustream to show you how it's going.

Okay guise, I'm convinced.
I'm going to activate 15 accounts, as many as I can afford to pay within reason.
And I'm going to park them out there with you guise.
Protesting is fun and meaningful. ------------------------------------------------- Go pod yourself. |

Edited by: Eternum Praetorian on 24/06/2011 14:36:08 The only way this idea will matter is if enough people are in Jita 23/7 to crash the node in protest.
And when CCP threatens to ban you for creating lag and crashing the server people STILL come and STILL stay... That will make it on EVE news, and then CCP will write Dev blogs about it.
If that don't happen you're flying a silent fools vigil and will only manage to get suicide ganked repeatedly. The thing about tree huggers is as soon as the pepper spray starts to fly there is nothing but tears and broken lines. Everyone thinks they can be "Martin Luther King" or a "Gandhi" but have no real idea what it takes to do so. be it in RL or in a video game such as this.

In position at Jita 4-4 at the Burn Eden statue. My vigil begins.
I do not wish to encourage people to come give the server any trouble I stand alone and on watch until CCP meets the requests of the community.

This sort of thing happened once already in gaming history believe it or not.
In Pre-Cu SWG to protest against the infamous patches that soon followed people gathered all in one spot on the servers and crashed them, I suppose you could all do this if things are that bad :p

Good idea actually, but why not organize it on a big bigger scale? built a MASSIVE fleet and roam through the unsupported nodes 
Imagine.. 10.000s pilots doing one massive conga line all through new eden.

Because that would result in bringing down the server or generally screwing up other pilots days, I don't think we are at that stage of desperation. This is a peaceful Vigil for answers from CCP.

Yeah, in the worst case we could open a com channel named "Rebels of New Eden" or something like that where we could plan our strike. When we go to war we do it with precision and we strike fast.

Years ago a similar thing was done cross server on World of Warcraft too. I'm not sure but Blizzard actually responded.
But then again, hate that game or not, Blizzard knows how to make most of its players happy. A good company knows when to give ground.

That is being done by some, others want to something more proactive a large event in the busiest system in EVE will get noticed by players who may not know whats going on as they don't use the forums.
