It proved that not everything has to focus around spaceship PvP in order to engage. Jumping in for a bit of devil's advocacy. What do you (and I don't just mean Stan here) think makes an event successful? For me it's anything where I feel we as the players can actually change the outcome, unlike events like Caldari Prime where one side was written in to win and we just showed up to watch. I wasn't around in what many consider the glory days of CCP Live Events (Aurora?) but much of what I heard was they were often smaller scale random events which had an ideal outcome but if things went off the rails CCP just rolled with it. I really loved the Gurista's event a couple of years ago where we had random intel here and there and had to piece it all together ourselves, The live Events channel and other RP channels worked together or against each other to solve the mysteries involved. Laterly CCP events have been more about getting thousands of players in one place shooting something, with everything being clearly announced and laid out days in advance. The problem with the later is that all we ever see is power-blocs with no interest in RP or lore turning up just to troll everyone, you can say this is what the sandbox is about and it's all player interaction sure, but I think working towards the audience who care for and want to drive the lore forwards is better than those who just want to mess with people or ruin the events. Svetlana Scarlet made a lot of really good points in her TMC article last year. Edit: Also anything where I can see my personal, corporation or alliance name in a news article afterwards as a party helping the State is a nice nod of the head towards my part in events.
