Hi, firstly I would like to confirm that CCP Dropbear is no longer with the company. It is not my place to explain the circumstances surrounding this, but I will say that the thread linked above is incorrect.
Some of you may have met me during the Live Events roundtable at Fanfest. I along with other devs (Abraxas, Affinity, Gnauton, Navigator to name a few) have taken up the mantle of live events. We were reponsible for the Dev Caravans that occurred over Christmas as well as the Scavenger Hunt player event at Fanfest. During the roundtable the Arek'Jaalan Project was mentioned by a few players. It is on our list of "cool things we want to get involved in" which is rather extensive following said roundtable. We are currently working on our Next Big Thing and so I will not give specific dates, times or topics at the moment, but rest assured that Live Events are going nowhere and we are committed to making some awesome memories for you all.

There you see. CCP is working tirelessly to bring the next big events for the Arek'Jaalan Project! Do not despair! By the way, are CCP Abraxas, Affinity, Gnauton, and Navigator going to continue to carry the mantle of the ingame character Hilen Tukoss?
Why didn't you ask if I was going to do it! 
As I said, I don't want to make any specific promises or decisions right now. Let's just say it's all on the table at this point.

Let's just say it's all on the table at this point. My apologies haha. Could you at least tell us who the contact person is within CCP, so we can communicate Arek'Jaalan's findings & responsibilities? Without Hilen Tukoss at the helm, it would be extremely difficult to get things organized. I suppose this is where you could come to the stage, to make a brief appearance as Hilen Tukoss and assure the existing Arek'Jaalan communities that the Project is still fully "operational?"  
I'm your best contact point for any information you want to pass along. I head up the Live Events community that we have in CCP.

Should we send it to "CCP Goliath" or "Hilen Tukoss?"
CCP Goliath please. You can also link me to blogs, wikis and whatnot via my Twitter (in my sig)

Talk like that gives me the feeling you are going to ditch it or make an abrupt closure (quite an effort from my side going in the bin in both cases) and move on to the Next Big Thing.
You have to understand, this particular project has a lot of history and high expectation attached to it. I don't want to say "yeah I'm doing it and I'm going to be the next Hilen and it's going to be awesome" because I can't promise that at this stage. Let me get caught up on the materials, sync up with the team, and then I will actually be in a place to talk specifics. I'm sure everyone in this thread would rather I made an informed decision and kept true to the initial spirit and quality of the project than jumped in with half-baked ideas and soured the memory of it.

And then the tools to roleplay our own live events? Like within the deadspace site, and other approved areas, you have players sign up, like ISD, and they run the live events for you
Why not give ver the majority of live events to the players
Give us tools too....
Change color of text in cha
Fly any ship we deem we want for the live event we are running.
Let us spawn ships at the sites.
Basically let players hired as volunteers, the power to be like a DM in a D&D game.
Heck you want to make it even more hands off? Let the people with the power to play story teller in eve, be elected via, in game voting system. Easier to watch over one player making events then 1000s right
Anyways, you should let us run our own events, and drop our own money into rewards for these sites. You don't need to pump in free ships that we can spawn for free. Like the eve market do it's thing. Let the STs buy buys, set AI for them, and send team off versus a group of players. So it would boost sales of ships no one uses!
anyways, just a thought, curious if it's even going to ever be a possibility.
It's not going to be a possibility. Pretty sure I don't need to explain why giving people the tools to create deadspace sites, associate AI with ships, change the colour of their text or remove skills from the ship-flying equation isn't particularly safe
Are you familiar with AURORA? They used to run live events and were volunteer-based. Unfortunately the player base grew too large to leave this duty in the hands of volunteers, and ultimately we are better placed to run events that give a consistent experience to a wider audience.
That all being said, there is nothing that is stopping players from running interesting, engaging events in-game. Marlona Sky for instance has run 2 "Flight of a Thousand Rifters" events now and I believe they were very popular. There are many other examples of this occurring in game and it's amazing to see how creative people can be within the boundaries of the game.
