Sadly there is no one time that works for everyone. Sorry. =/ This is one of the reasons why we are streaming the event - so that those that are unable to participate can still see what's going on. It's regrettable that the nature of the event and logistics of running the event don't allow for 24 hour coverage, but them's the breaks.

When you took the decision to join FW and war with the Gallente, you understood at the time that it would cause faction standing loss, and that it would cause NPCs to aggro you if you entered a system hostile to you. Given that EVE is a game known for having consequences matter, what makes this different from any other reason you might have to want to enter space owned by those that are hostile to you? There's no "you can't enter" sign on the gate; it's just more difficult for you to be in that system, which seems perfectly natural to me as you chose to be at war with the faction that controls it.

This cap has already been enacted, but we will be dynamically altering it as the server load requires and raising it if everything runs smoothly." FAIL Never imagined a game with tens of thousands of subscriptions capping a game wide event at 1000 players...even Jita can support more than that:( Jita load and big fight load are very different. Please also note the part where it says we will be dynamically altering it. CCP Goliath \| QA Director \| EVE Illuminati \| @CCP_Goliath

CCP Goliath wrote: Jita load and big fight load are very different. Please also note the part where it says we will be dynamically altering it. So let me know when you alter it. I can't log in my character there that I literally spent hours with moving in equipment in order to participate. Oh wait - U.S. tz here. Short. stick. end. Remind me which CSM candidates have a cross section of non-EU tz and Live Eventson their platform? Further thought - if you are going to over hype these things you need to come up with a system that won't waste customer time. How about a participation lottery? Something that get's drawn against days ahead of time. Then players can chose to use or sell the "ticket". Add'tl - ROFLMAO The blue donut people must be rolling on the floor - they fight under TiDi all the time. Live Events afraid of going into overtime? We won't be able to announce when it gets altered due to the speed at which we will be managing it. Unfortunate, but unpreventable. TiDi will be in full effect in the event, but it can only go so far. Better to rev up slowly and ensure a stable environment than open the floodgates and hope for the best.

Please also note the part where it says we will be dynamically altering it. What will the range be on the capping? 1000 <> 1500 or 1800 <> 2500? What's likely? What would you estimate? We'd love to form up tribe and join in on the festivities, but if I am gonna spend 30 min. trying to get 100 tribbles through the gate we might as well go roam or something. My estimate is probably worth nothing, but I would love to see 2k! I'm not a server dude though, so don't know if that is feasible. Rest assured, it is not me that's on the dial CCP Goliath \| QA Director \| EVE Illuminati \| @CCP_Goliath
