RIP ISD AURORA
Quote:AURORA was disbanded by CCP in August 2008, officially over concerns that the volunteer event group could not scale with the growing player base (then about 30k peak concurrent).
So CCP disbanded the group that may have had a chance to pull **** like this off, and then tried (and failed) to run an event by the seat of their pants because the team that used to have any idea of what was going on for stuff like this was dead and buried. |

To defend CCP a little (albeit yes they screwed this event up!) They did manage to run succesful live events after Aurora.
Examples:
The Nation Invasion Live events: they happened in High, Low and Null. They're regared among the best live events CCP did, as they involved all timezones and all players. It also showed alot of highsec folks don't mind the dying.
The Caldari State Storyline + MInmatar tribal storyline: They were generally well recieved, as they mattered in how the story unfolded.
Even in Caldari prime, wich got alot of flak, the event itself was good, and if you couldn't be there, there was still plenty of event actor stuff to listen to + streaming vids so you could at elast watch it in real time. CCP issue here was that too many players showed up and they weren't ready for it (this issue repeated itself this event however, with the added insult that the event itself was crap)
There's some more like the Serpentis bombing and the Angel relief effort who were smaller but happened in low that got good approvals.
It's part of the people's anger really, as CCP showed they can do better in the past.

Angel relief went well I thought, although always problems with public fleets |

Aye, the Angel relief went well, I edited my post to reflect this more clearly. It also was a great addition of eve's Grimdark universe: no real good or evil forces, just different shades of grey, wich is part of why so many enjoy the EvE Lore, even without RP or somesuch.

Funny, I thought Aurora was disbanded over the scandal of them giving away uberloot exclusively to their buddies?
