I've got to admit I don't even think of going to any EVEnts until they start to do a lot more because I just know it's going to be a lagfest, a total waste of time, or a lagfested waste of time heh.
To be honest I would have expected a lot more events before now but CCP seem to be concentrating on Shiva. I was under the impression there was a dedicated events team but havent heard much from them. Are events going on we dont hear about?
Perhaps I'm being pessimistic but there were better events back in beta. Anyone remember the cruiser hunt event? 4 events run simultaneously in different regions to spread the load. Now THAT'S what CCP should be doing in my honest opinion. That would reduce the lag (unless one of the events is better and draws more people).

i rather like it now... but it's still a waste, i could have earned a lot in the time i spent in NC now...
true true, prob is that this is the 1 year aniversery and it shoulda been a celebration for everyone while now only half of the ppl involved can actually laugh about it  . if this is a birthday then i dont wanna know what shivas gonna be like

Well :) Sounded amusing to me.
ps: you're eager to see a Jovian?... Well, go and see them :D It's "next to impossible" to access their systems... but there are ways. (also called PURE LUCK).
Oh... and with a bit of luck you can find Chars who are Jovians... just look for them :)

I try to imagine what would have been happened, if the ambassador was killed by one of those bloodthirsty robbers. Don't they think on the consequences, or was a "reaction" they intended?

I was not at the event, being 40 jumps away and expecting a lag-fest, but following it on the news and in game channals was a real good RP ing experience which built up the atmosphere nicely. The only thing that spoilt it were the tossers who went there for no reason other than to shoot up a Jove without any in game reason for it! Had they been Amarr charachters RP ing fanatics out for revenge for the war it would have been understandable from an game perspective, as it is I really do hope CCP will arrange the Jove exacting vengance by sending warships out to pod the guilty men, that I would laugh my***** off at

I am utterly disgusted by the level of immaturity, the lack of roleplaying and the stupidness of many of the players of EVE that today was at new caldari, I have given up some profitable mining yesterday and today to be there to meet the jovians that was coming with a new technology, ok the jovians plans was destined to fail til the start, to me was perfectly cool thing. gave a big project to be made to retrive the various pieces of the poor jovian scientist..... the kill of the peaceful ambassador that came to tell us what happened was... stupid, and needless, and pretty much ruined the event, expecially by some guy using an alternate named 'killthejovies' or something like that.. the constant whining about the lags and the absolutely stupid attacks to the CPP(sp?) pretty much ruined the event, and that is NOT because of the CCP but of the stupid players who cannot stay put and silent for 5 minutes straight. as an INGAME consequencies I'd really hope that whathever the jovians was letting us have, that new cool technology won't be made advailale to us permanently, if would be for me, the jovies would send huge battleships and kill every single sentient life in the galaxy... but thankfully, they are better than us, it's a shame that the best people always dies first.. at the hands of the wrost idiots around. the best we can do is... totally ignore these idiots, isolate them, not let them interact anymore with anybody, eventually they will shutup and learn or DIE HORRIBLY OF SOLITUDE, which I hope.
fine fine I am way too mad currently to give a good point of view for the event, just know that in my view for now it was ruined by PLAYER GRIEFERS or better, who griefed both the CPP and the players partecipated the event, and in my view their account should be quit.
note well: if they had a REAL ingame reason to try to kill the jovian, to hate them, and so on the kill of the poor jovian would have been perfectly fine for me my character would have gotten mad/upset ingame, but that was just a RANDOM action done by someone called with an absolutely stupid name who had NO REAL REASON TO DO IT.
and don't feed me with the usual crap 'it's just a game' because YES it is a game, and we are supposed to have fun in the game, but some people are RUINING THE FUN of the other players and this is, wrong.
and don't feed me the usual crap of 'if you don't like the game go away' because it is not the GAME wrong the game is absolutely fun and cool to play, it's the IDIOTIC PEOPLE who ruin it.

Sir, you have done absolutely the right thing. I'm sure someone will be contacting you shortly. If in doubt, contact the ebil slavermongers in the CVA who in all other respects are honest trustworthy folks and will be more than happy to assist a brave Amarr in need i'm sure
As for myself, i won't say what bit i got; but i will soon be holding an IPO on Oracle Sexual Implants Incorporated.

Yes, funny, that one. However, I'm sure it's merely innocent coincidence and nothing more sinister.

I think it just sucks that 0.00000000000000001% of the EVE population gets tech level 29.3 because they were in the right place at the right time.The rest of us, get nothing.

Well i have to say could not make it with my main character but used one of my other accounts to go to the event for some RP, I now have in the region of 50 different retards that turned up for the event in a blocked list in a matter of 30 mins.
The event was cool and alot of fun pity the retards as normal got there indy ganking alts out to kill poor Veniel in NC just for greed purpose's.
I have been a GM for about 15 years playing RP game's all the usuel stuff D&D ect and I never seen as many number crunchers/munchies you pick your name as I seen today in NC.
I think someone needs to develop a online version of Hackmaster and move 50% of the eve community over to it.
The retards who spoiled the event for me and alot of others deserve to be punished for the crap they caused.
My 2 cents.

im a little confused, i dont mean to whine but i dont see what was so great or fun about todays "event". After eventually logging back on after downtiem in the system then undocking to see a LOT of ships all around the station after 30 minutes of waiting word spreads about the new "news" post and everyone moves on to continue whatever they were doign before hand. Then we learn everyone in the whole game gets a jove piece regardless of whether they were at the event. So what exactly was the event? Since this was the first "event" i have ever been at i was just wondering if this is what they are usually like? Did i miss something cos i didnt see anything fun about this.
Again i dont mean to whine just curious if this is what the RP is usually like in eve if so i shall avoid it in the future to avoid any further disapointment

traveling halfway across the universe and spending several hours in a system lagging to death for a total non-event,
is not actualy asking for anything for free is it ?
The problem here is not what CCP did. The problem is with people making assumptions. You were promised nothing. You went and you received nothing at a system where you ASSUMED something would happen. Do no blame another if your assumptions based on incomplete data were incorrect.
One thing you knew for certain, there would be many others in the system and there would be a lag fest. In this you were correct. So you can't cry about that either since you went there anyway.
BTW, someone said the whole EVE community was ****ed off. Not true. I am a member of the EVE community and I am not ****ed off. More like, ammused.  
Ha ha I totally agree, people assumed everything! And besides if the Jovian transporter hadn't have blown up then you would have seen nothing also!! As the Jovian diplomat would have teleported between planets with no need for a ship!!

*Mrissa walks into her hanger, and stops in shock and horror.
Guts (is that a piece of *shudder* liver?!) are draped haphazardly over Spooky's favorite hollowed out Hydrogen Battery casing. And yet none of the refugees or homeless living in a sectioned off part of the hanger are missing.
"Spooky! Spit that out right now!!"
Then, noticing the smell of ozone and burnt rubber, she goes around a support pylon and spies a bizarre chunk of alien, smouldering wreckage sticking out of the fuselage of one of her Atron.
Despite this, the missing Ares blueprint catches her attention first, the production run finished, and she freaks.
***
Later, wearing a gas mask and removing the guts to a secure container gingerly with a crowbar, she wonders if the world's gone a little crazy.

(Had to run to work, so haven't had chance to petition, but missing blueprints isn't part of the Jove Visitation, is it?!? At least now I know where the other stuff is and came from.)

What Riffix said.
Suggestion: Next time have seperate meetings for the races- that would reduce the lag by spreading the server load a bit, and also possibly cut down on the alt effect.
Happy Birthday Eve btw- only known you a week and a half, but it looks like you've got a lot of mileage in you (apart from the griefers, whingers and muppets in your subscriber base. Did I mention bugs?)

Seriously people build this up way to much. Rumors were spread like wildfire and then peoples hopes got shot down when they realized that what they heard was nothing more then some rumor being thrown around How do you come off criticizing CCP because they gave you something? If you don't want what they gave you I would be happy to take it. |

Actually I hope they do some kind of collection thingy and reconstruct the Jovian, now that would be fun.

Oh, btw. to all you people toasting, eating and drinking bits of that Jovian. You were aware that teh nanobots inside jovian tissue and blood will treat ANY non-jovian biological material as an infection and disassemble it didn't you?
Ah well, it's evolution in progress I guess, and at least a puddle of disintegrating mush can be sprayed away quite easily and does not need a burial :)

It was interesting over all, I sent my alt with a purpose thorugh NC and participated in the RP side of things and watched as local climbed higher and higher....
Personally i had great fun and it was amusing to listen to my CEO trying to log in after he gpt the "empty system" bug that seemed to affect so many. 
Also, the line of people chasing Veniel 600km from the station was good.

LOL, you people haven't been slaves of EA yet... you see, in EnB, there was a huge live "V'rix" (aliens) invasion during Summer of 03. Since the event was happening before "patch downtime" and no one actually knew about the invasion, little people could show up...
Around December, there was a huge story build-up for another probable Alien take over. HUNDREDs of people around the servers gathered around the speculated invasion area... just to waint untill the servers went offline, and wake up next morning to see Aliens swarming around. No invasion..nothing.
As stated, CCP never intended to make the Jove show up in New Caldari, but because so many people gathered, they decided to ATLEAST make something show up.. and they did, and you should be thankful for that. If CCP would have been EA, Castor patch wouldn't have ever been released, and no jove ship would have appeared at all... and you would wake up to see Halloween candy in your cargo hold.

EA......haha. EA has the absolute worst record of creating a good online game and then pulling the plug after about a year and a half.
Wait did EA shut down EnB for SIMS ausie style so they'd have more sims bandwidth for the ausie edition.
Screw EA and any online game they release. they might know how to creat games in a hurry that will not ever last.
Sounds like they made EnB just with the same intentions as they did Motorcity online. gotta tell ya ....eve is the only game like it and there is no other game for a vidiot like me.
Don't ever compare Eve to any EA online game. They know nothing of patching to introduce new items into a game and they know nothing about the type of loyalties that are due for a game of this type. Ea could have the eyesight to see that far down the road.
Can't beleave someone would even entertain the thought of saying anything about and EA online game in here. so disgusted i'm spitting all over my screen.
After EA took my Motorcity away(not to mention best absolute racing game EVER) after a year and a half of my building my own top ten placing cars and just shut it down.......I personally will never so much as look at an EA game. they will never get another penny out of me.
CCP has done a great great job at introducing a great and MASSIVE game with plans to see it through. CCP actually knows what kind of gamer they are looking for..............ones that don't quit. unlike the EA online game team.......the shut down all their online games cuz they just aint good enough and can't compete in that market.
Walks away fartingin EA's general direction
Refuse to even drop a quarter in a game of golden tee. No more money from me ever.
Keep up the good work CCP, throw a piece of brain matter my way anytime.
