Dev blog: The Return of Live Events →

Return? I’m not sure I was aware these ever existed, but I’ve desperately wished, since I started playing EVE, that there was a mechanic for watching historical events play out in the universe. This seems to take it a step further, suggesting that actual CCP devs will pilot “actors” in these events, and players can participate and determine the outcome entirely (!!!).

This is big. This could have been a major platform for Tyrannis, so I’m not sure why they would have waited until now to announce it. I suppose it’s still in early development and may not pick up steam for a while yet.

Either way, it’s a very, very welcome change.
