WOW! This sounds cool!!!!
MUCH better than agent missions. They get stale quickly. THIS is what i thought all those innocuous "news stories" were all about on the right side of the character selection page, but i was sadly mistaken.
Too bad, some of these events sound like theyd be super fun if we could participate.....

Definately. The events of old are missed greatly by the older community. Getting them back would be a major step forward. Not to mention the droves of new players that organized events would bring in.
Lets face it, with events back in place, actual events, people would post on forums, blogs, YouTube, etc. People would talk to their friends and co-workers about how they were involved in the massive slaughtering of empires, the protection of a renouned president from viscious marauders. People would come out of the woodwork to try it out, to see what all the commotion is, to see what it like to be a part of the game and not just a player. Subscriptions would increase, CCP would get more money to fund ongoing projects, and the community would be happier in general. I understand the risk, but isnt the reward worth it?
Events are the life-blood of any RPG game. Nobody bothers to read the news posts anymore. It's just wasted text on the log-in screen. Why? Because it no longer affects us, the players. We have our systems, our boats, our guns, and our wits. We're thrown into the game with no sense of direction or cause. Tell me, did the Empress Coronation Ceremony affect any of those? I didnt see a cluster of new systems open. I didnt get a shiny new ship. I got nothing. It was boring, and nobody gave a crap about it after it happened. Hell, most people don't even know it happened. Again, because it doesnt affect us, at all.
I miss the days when trying to attack a leader was possible. When it wasnt all figureheads and text. I want to see Sarum floating around space with the Amarr Navy surrounding her. I want to see Heth coming and going from press conferences. I'm tired of having a story fed to me, whether I like it or not. I'm tired of being powerless to change my surroundings. I'm tired of watching everything collapse because I am a player, and thus have no voice.
We are the players. We will be heard.

I totally agree with bringing back interactive events.
I really envy those of you who were around when players were able to actually participate in the events that had a real bearing on the Eve storyline. It would be tremendous if those of us not fortunate enough to have 4 or 5 year old characters, especially roleplayers, could have that opportunity again. |

I got an Email this morning. It was from a MMO I play a bit and it was telling me about their exciting new live in game events structure. About how the game benefits from something a bit out of the ordinary, something to draw people together, something to change the dynamic from the familiar to the new. This game was WAR. This email made me sad. WAR has live in-game events. Eve doesn't. It made me die a little inside.
So yes I support it.
Although the no flashy uberpwnage loot thing gets extra marks from me.

First off, elohel roleplayers.
Second, I actually agree. CCP seems to have lost their nerve when it comes to letting players be involved in storyline events, and for those who choose to involve themselves in the backstory its a pity that they're cut off from the opportunity to take part. The lack of player-story interaction is probably understandable given past events within CCP, but if the 'prizes' are kept to a sensible level (i.e. no more giving away free motherships in an event taking place in a particular 0.0 alliances back yard), Internal Affairs is involved, and CCP can get a competent team to work on the events (and that means people who, amongst other things, can react to unexpected outcomes and smoothly incorporate them into the storyline) then I can only see this as being a positive suggestion.
So yes, this is a Goon supporting a Jade post (I'm probably going to be kicked now).

CCP, grow a pair and bring back in-game events
Anyone who has ever been part of one of these event will have a hard time forgetting them.
It is a shame that newer players are missing out.

This ISSUE was just voted through the CSM with a resounding 9-0 in favor of escalating the Issue to CCP developer attention. I'd like to express my thanks to the many players who have taken the time to support this issue thread and to my fellow CSM delegates who have been prepared to vote yes to the proposal to bring back Live Events to the Eve Online universe.
Lets get this done!

As a relative newb, I find the current situation particularly confusing. When CCP announces "news," I never know if it is real news or fake news (e.g., If there is a lost convoy, should we actually go looking for it? Is there something I should be doing for the trapped miners? etc.).

I was around (though not in the group defending him) during the death of Muritor, and for several visits by the defiants to 9UY, and for the protests in Pator when Filmir resigned. I don't know much about any loot involved, but I do remember how much activity the events generated and how much fun it was. I was sad to see Aurora cancelled. Worried about corruption? Don't generate any special loot. People will participate just to be involved. Much better to have people read about a news event and say "I was there", than to read a fictional news event written about something that never happened in game.
Let's bring events back!

Suicide gank an emperor? I vote yes.
Also I would have rather enjoyed rigging the mimatar elections by shooting down the ships that transported the votes. A bit silly to be transporting physical votes but we are constantly told they are required for a honest and transparent process.

For the benefit of CCP in reviewing the CSM request, I strongly support the request stated by Jade Constantine in the original posts (as do my alts! 8) ). Second-hand stories about the live events are what got me to subscribe in the first place.
Rewards could be provided easily through the new Medals system rather than giving in-game items. The major benefit of event participation should be the involvement, NOT profits.
In cases where CCP really doesn't want us to act directly (i.e. the Coronation), strong-arm us by preventing us from flying with armed ships (e.g. prevent all ships equipped with high or medium slot items from undocking in or stargating into Amarr for 24 hours) and/or do the events behind crazy-powerful station shields. While being able to interact with the event would be more interesting, bringing the EVE universe to life by making news events real is more important to me overall.

People will whine favoritism once more. Or simply whine about not being able to join events.
Or simply try to kill them in order to grief the event from happening.
Its still a cool idea and it should be aimed at RPG community to help them with their immersion. |

A a person who has experience GMing, I can undertsand the need for some events to fall outside the player areas in order to advance a needed plot element in a specific direction. However at the same time this mut be balanced with player interaction in order to keep the players involved in a living story. CCP really does need to bring some of these news stories to life.
