EP Weichor	Posted - 2006.09.19 21:10:00 - [31] Originally by: Elsebeth Rhiannon I know I can evemail them, BTDT. The question is when/if you actually read the mails...;) Thanks for the email addy, will try that next time when/if something comes up. It will of course depend on the producer whose character it is, and how often he checks for them. Generally if the character has important events going currently, the evemails are probably checked more frequently, while if the character's been inactive, obviously they're not checked or checked rarely. Common sense, really. But yeah, the email address is the best way of making sure you get heard if you have something to say

Silent Calling	Posted - 2006.09.19 21:20:00 - [32] Originally by: EP Aine Originally by: Silent Calling How can we find out more about becoming a volunteer? Or taking part? Are you even looking for new volunteers? If you're looking to apply, your first step is here. We're always on the lookout for new folks that are interested in helping out. Done! Thank you for the FAST reply!
Hillesumos Minmatar Constructive Influence	Posted - 2006.09.19 21:21:00 - [33] I have one simple question really: will Aurora and event in general go talky like the cinema. Since at some point in time, we will get an in-game voice system, is there any plan to add voice acting to the event. Would be cool to see how a real galente or caldari sound like.... --------- Sadly I just make ISK, I don't print it. :(
Skarsnik Caldari A.W.M	Posted - 2006.09.19 21:29:00 - [34] Originally by: Eternal Fury wait a minute... you mean you guys still do this? huh... well... if you DO do this you folks might wanna.. you know.. do it more often.. I've not heard anything about any "events" in the 9 months I've been here. I'll be honest though. Unless the "event" can touch 5-10K players, it's a waste of time, as the majority of us won't even hear about it. Not to be negetive, but I spend 90% of my time in 0.0. So if you do this stuff in empire.. it's not like I'll ever see it. This is part of the problem. I've been playing since week of release and been witness to only 1 event ever. Seems the majority happen in empire, while I'm currently there, I do spend the majority in 0.0. Perhaps events that unfold in 0.0 would be of benefit. Now I'm not against events in empire far from it, it seriously adds depth and immersion into the EVE background. However the rate of events obviously is a little under-powered. The Gallente elections beig the major one i can think of right now. But also if I've been playing 3 years to partake in only one that happens that isn't a major storyline is a little lacking. Now I know I'm not the only one that would like to arrange an event with Aurora backing as a volunteer, but my freetime is limited due to work issues. Howevewr if you were willing to take on people that only had 2-3 hours a week to provide the 'Small' events, ones that encompass, 'Need people to do a quick run of illegal products' or 'Hey I've stolen things from the local XX Station, and I'm gloating in local' ones that dont take much isk, or setting up then this may add more to the immersion overall. Maybe these people in the 2-3 hours available bracket could be some of the smaller players ina bigger picture too. As I say just a thought. ------------------------------------------------- AWMCorp is Recruiting EVE-Ink - An Tattoo Project Based on EVE-Online

I don't think this will happen due to a few reasons, one more humorous one would be that hearing someone like me try to use a 'womanly' voice, while amusing, would harm the event's atmosphere.

Explorer EVE Animal Control	Posted - 2006.09.19 21:45:00 - [36] Just having roaming Aurora gangs, either pvp'ing against local alliances or roleplaying various things across the empire would be awesome. Relax what I believe would be tightly controled scrpits would be a good start. Giving more free hand to members to RP in large system's, or fight against/form up player gangs to defeat a random serpentis Dread/carrier/Titan in some system would be AWESOME. Its the small things, not large story arcs, that sucks pepole into games. ---------------------------------------- Friends Forever

Weirda Minmatar Queens of the Stone Age Chimaera Pact	Posted - 2006.09.19 21:53:00 - [39] Originally by: Nafri Please, just stay out of alliance space. I dont remember any major event in alliance space which had an positive feedback. did someone buy you char - or did you life just get bad? seriously, put the pink panties back on and lighten up! good to hear that this is picking up. only ever saw one once (and maybe was just Amarr/Matari RP and not Aurora), hopefully see more someday! __ Weirda Join QOTSA Now Stealth Bomber Tweaks
Rodj Blake Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2006.09.19 21:56:00 - [40] Just to clarify things, am I right in thinking that the delay in getting a new Emperor and President is down to CCP and not not Aurora? Dulce et decorum est, pro imperator mori

Most of the story arcs left unfinished were not in their hands to begin with; the larger prime fiction arcs are directed by CCP, with assistance given by AURORA only in the actual running of the events. When threads are left hanging, itÆs not due to AURORA inactivity, but rather to reallocation of CCP manpower to other tasks deemed more immediately urgent. http://myeve.eve-online.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=281 i myself aint been in an event since 2004! (being out in 0.0 for 2005) But I am living the semi-retired life now so if I do see ulli's spirit drop by, will welcome him :)

CCP controls the progress and timing of both these events. AURORA has no control over either. ----------- Aine Tier 2 Events Producer AURORA

Eriv Kendri Caldari Quantum Industries Prime Orbital Systems	Posted - 2006.09.19 22:11:00 - [44] I've always thought that when an pirate officer spawn is generated, it ought to be real people at the controls, not mindless npcs. As for events in general - I have been in eve for almost two years now and have never been in close enough proximity to an event to participate.

Xander XacXorien	Posted - 2006.09.19 22:49:00 - [46] I've played Eve for over 1.5+ years. I've never seen an event, heard of an event or heard of anyone ever being in an event. I do remember posting a request 1 year ago to have some Minmatar events please. I do remember asking about events locally on Eve. I got the reply that there were never any Minmatar events. We started running our own events. Low sec mining raids, rat hunting raids, mining competitions, rat kill competitions, photo opertunities,, etc All funded out of our own time and ISK. My request would be to gain access to resources to run our own events. A plan would have to be submitted in some format giving the place, time and the needed ships and modules. TBQH I thought you guys had disappeared months ago. You say you run an event every 2-3 days ??? Not as though I've ever noticed,,,,

There are many things that some of us would like to get our sticky paws on but due to the high impact on the PF that certain things have, they are ouside of our control and left in the hands of CCP.

A plan would have to be submitted in some format giving the place, time and the needed ships and modules. sounds like you should send mail to that link (and join them as event producer)! they seem like very cool people!!! would love to take part in Matari events, especially if they end in buckets filled with heads and limbs of the amarr! speaking of which, do ccp ever create unique item for your event (like bucket of amarr heads and limbs) - or do they only create them for their events?

Omber Zombie Gallente Frontier Technologies	Posted - 2006.09.19 23:27:00 - [50] Edited by: Omber Zombie on 19/09/2006 23:28:29 Sorry to sound a little harsh here, but I believe at last years fanfest Neb mentioned that the Gallente Elections were being handed over to you guys from CCP control. I can't find the post atm, but it was mentioned somewhere here too. That's almost a year ago now. It was running rediculously overtime then, it has entered the realms of ludicrous now. Please settle the issue already. Either announce that Fioritan has started a democratic dictatorship, or that Blaque won the election and has declared war, or just install me as the ebil overlord that I am. Next off the firing line: The Amarr Emperor is dead. The Amarr people have been operating without their god for almost a year now. Surely this has some ramifications? At least update the Amarr info on the website to reflect his demise. I know you guys work your asses off, and some of this is out of your direct control, but it's major things like these that give you guys an undeserved bad rep. ---------------------- Buy shares through the EGSE

You know, I'm increasingly coming to believe that these two events specifically are tied in with the introduction of factional warfare and war between the Empires...so while the original plan was to have that ready long ago, it's only just now in the coming weeks/months that we'll probably be seeing the resolution of this. Well, at least this will stop the *****es directed at AURORA that they aren't finishing the election/emperor events... -----

Miss Overlord Gallente Garoun Investment Bank	Posted - 2006.09.19 23:44:00 - [54] some sort of hint in the offical "events" channel would be good - perhaps more for us pacific players mid week in the events channel even rumour ie such and such constellation might have something happening would mean not a rush of players but give some warning something might occour

EP Aine ISD AURORA Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.09.19 23:49:00 - [55] Originally by: Omber Zombie Sorry to sound a little harsh here, but I believe at last years fanfest Neb mentioned that the Gallente Elections were being handed over to you guys from CCP control. I can't find the post atm, but it was mentioned somewhere here too. In the spirit of being helpful - is this the post you're referring to? Unfortunately that is old data. It's true that AURORA had hands on the elections at one point, but that is no longer true. I don't know the details (and even if I did I wouldn't be able to say) but the fact is that we do not at this time have any control or say over the progress of the elections, the emperor, the insorium arc or any other large-scale "racial" event. Believe me when I say that everyone in AURORA is interested in seeing these arcs turn out, as much or more so than the rest of the playerbase. Regrettably, we aren't any different from you in this - we're all waiting to see what will happen. It could change tomorrow, but at this time this is the situation. ----------- Aine Tier 2 Events Producer AURORA

Mitchman Omniscient Order	Posted - 2006.09.20 00:08:00 - [56] I appled to Aurora around 2 years ago. Had the interview, passed it. Sent in the RP application and never heard back from you. A few months later, I heard you had lost it. Resent it, and never heard back again. At this point, I'm so disillusioned, that I go public with it since I don't see it ever happening.
Crausaum Ixion Defence Systems The Cyrene Initiative	Posted - 2006.09.20 00:29:00 - [57] Good to see Aurora is still alive and kicking. It's been a LONG time since I've seen any sign of you in my timezone. In fact most people I talk to around the Pacific rim (countries in near the Pacific ocean) have no idea that there are events in Eve or what Aurora even does. I know you guys try your best but spreading some, small, events into the 0100 - 0400 GMT would finally hit some of these people that have never seen or heard of you before. Anyways, now a few stray ideas from me: (prepare for spelling errors and ranting) - Event Paticipation - Currently most groups I know that have attended events often walk away feeling more frustrated than entertained. Mostly this is due to the fact that they go out, try their best, loose a few ships, have those ships loot stolen by people raiding the even, and then recieve no reward for attending even though one was hinted at (or even promised). I stopped attending any events I saw long ago as after getting burned in my first two I realized I would have more fun with the ISK that going to that event would perhaps cost me. In my final event no shots were fired as we could not be sure Concord would not gank us. (I have seen 5 events and bothered to attend 3 in about 3 years playing) Events need a better system for rewarding people participating. A scramble for the loot cans is not a good system and as you can probably figure out from those Concord agents being nuked after the last event went off script it may be a good idea to give out too much ISK rather then kick people in the groin after they came 20+ jumps. - Subtle Emmersion Breaking in Eve Storyline - (Gallente player here so Gallente events focus) Gallente Elections - Not Aurora's gig, still more fluff should be generated from this. Make it feel like there is an election going on. "Today in news: Presidential debate tonight" rather than "Ok, here's NPC #1 and there is #2, now they're just going to sit there for 2 years while the election runs" Same thing goes for the Emperor deal, MORE FLUFF NEEDED. Rechade V (sp?) (That Gallente Planet that got pwned) - Gallente Federation, entire planet punked, during election year(s), life goes on with no political fallout. (Yes I noted the news article about it today, would never have remembered it otherwise) Some news about the effects of this planets loss on the Federation was BADLY needed. In addition one of my corp mates helped escort the relief supplies to that planet only to have the frighters suffer a "warp drive malfunction" and blow up. He thought that was lame, decided to give up on events as his actions will never really effect the outcome of an event. Gallente Titan Theft - Serps somehow manage to steal a titan from the Federation Navy shipyards while all of it's workers are out taking the longest leak in the history of the universe. (Remember the empires in Eve have HUGE populations, their dockyards would have like 100,000 staff) Titan manages to get away through it's use of the /heal command. Lots of players killed trying to stop it, no reward, predetermined outcome. More of my corp mates gave up events... More log on later to hear about how they missed the event because they live in the wrong timezone, hear about how it went, are glad they live in the right timezone. I could go on but I'm too lazy to type more (tired of being an armchair critic and I'm nearing the character limit on the post) but I think you get the idea. The Eve universe feels dead an barren as far as a story goes, I've been playing for nearly 3 years and it really does feel like "Everlasting Worlds and Empires" (Eve dev joke). Just a few random bits of uneventful fluff would really bring the game to life. -Brotherhood, fraternity and equal rights to all men. ...and the ladies too.
Caerleus Board of Twenty	Posted - 2006.09.20 01:22:00 - [58] stupid forums ate my post so i'm not typing it again..but concise version.. Aurura - done by the few for the few.. Try spanning multiple events over a period of a week and have something happen in highly populated areas which more people can take part in. Then, hopefully, you will capture peoples imagination a little more and raise the profile a bit. I'm fairly lucky in so far as I live in The Bleak Lands which regularly has 'blues' flying around. What they are doing tho is anyone's guess as they are seldom reported on in the 'news'. Eve is like a new girlfriend - you know its going down at some point, its just when and for how long.
hendo001 Caldari Quantum Tech Mining	Posted - 2006.09.20 01:58:00 - [59] I remember fighting a bunch of gurista pirates about 9 months ago, I was still noobish it was fun, we went from like nonni to elonya then the chase back up to Ibura iirc, where we got to fight a fair few actors playing the roles of the pirates and the caldari navy. Was fantastic I started a gang and just kept adding ppl to the gang while chasing the actors around the systems. In the end we had both the gates covered and about 2 gangs with around 50 ppl in each chasing the actors. Also about 6 months ago I ran into the tail end of a mining event but not to worry I'm sure I'll run into some more events in the future. Regards Hendo001 Visit the QTM forums Linkage
Resolve	Posted - 2006.09.20 02:26:00 - [60] Having been with EVE for nearly a few years, I've only personally seen one event and I tend to get around :P. Not saying everything should be announced weeks in advance, but logging in and having an "In progress events" selection on the map so people can at least see if 'something's going on' and check it out would be very nice. I'd like to think that more people would see more events that are accessible than is currently happening. Once a year per player is far too few. Making the events 'more available' would be my only suggestion. Having to wait a year+ just to see that nice teal text in local, is far too infrequent.
