Would love to see that wordpress website but it seems hosted on a 300 baud connection.

wordpress websites are the worst

if you think your message is worth reading take a few minutes or a few units of currency to starving web designer and actually look your opinion is something that matters

looks interesting, I might drop by sometime and check it out.

though I heard ccp dropbear is no long with ccp, any idea how that's going to impact your project?

hmm, this is where i heard it from:

not sure if it's true of course.

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.

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.

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.

CCP Goliath please. You can also link me to blogs, wikis and whatnot via my Twitter (in my sig)

What?

Is there an actually going to be a meaningful live event happening at site one or is this just a place for role players to hand out?

Wow, this is really cool. I've been trying to find more info about Live Events by just lurking the various channels, but this is a much easier jumping off point.

By the way, that public channel you linked does not exist anymore? Is there a different one for the A'J narrative?

Thanks, this is really cool.. I need to spend more time getting into this. Live Events were a huge reason why I loved UO so much :)

I know it's a while ago [pre-crucible], but I think I ran into some pdf file report written by the A'J Project members specifically studying the celestial sphere of New Eden and try to determine the span of the current universe, or something like that. And then the nebula are redone in the crucible expansion, and I suppose the celestial sphere has changed a lot in the process. Does that mean A'J Project's effort wasted?

P.S. I'm heading to the live event site right now. Hopefully it's still there to be seen.

I THINK you're actually referring to the original Project Compass, which is a project I originally ran. The celestial sphere HAS changed, but I think the original analysis could probably still be done. The star pattern I was relying on in that project, Orion, is still present in k-space (and pops up just about everywhere once you know what to look for) as well as in w-space, there's just a bunch of OTHER stars now visible in k-space that makes it slightly less obvious.

Rather than considering the effort truly wasted, however, I believe the original Compass acts as an interesting baseline to the revised Project Compass (which I'm currently in the process of wrapping up, along with my co-lead Faulx). The report (which hopefully will be out soon) actually directly compares the original results to the new results. The only part that is EXPLICITLY disproven by the new Compass project is the conclusions I made regarding the kind of galaxy New Eden is in. We now have distinct galactic banding, which suggests a spiral galaxy, which is something I originally discounted in the first go-around. Still, I can use the bulk of the original research as some tepid support for my findings in the new Project Compass.

Which is a little weird, because that's how science works in the real world as well: building off of previous research.

Cant wait for more live events, I loved tormenting slave heavenbound01 ;-))

Shouldn't this topic be in Events&gatherings?

Or he got lost in a wormhole and Eifyr hires a replacement.. something..

Amen to that, it's been far too long since the last events. It's a real shame how it all suddenly died out.

Thread moved from EVE General Discussion to In-Game Events and Gatherings forum.

Thread moved back from In-Game Events and Gatherings to EVE General Discussion forum. Enjoy your stay in GD.

Huh?

I think Gaia Ma'chello was trying to make a joke, as she has the same (first) name.

So... what you know of a specific event or this is just generally to get people excited about the idea of events?

AAAAAGH I missed a live event!!!!!!!!!! (kills dog)


I will now go roam the streets having one sided incoherent arguments with strangers.

Ah Project Compass was one smart piece of work! I remember it.
