EVE Online are bringing back the popular “Live Events” for their upcoming expansion. According to the EVE homepage:
All in-game events will be personally run by EVE Online developers and, for the immediate future, every other facet of event production will be handled in-house too.
These events are serving a few purposes primarily to kick-start the new storyline of the expansion, they’re also attempting to “Reach out and grab players who may not otherwise be aware of EVE’s rich storyline, and of course, to breathe some more life into that world.”
CCP games are making these Live Events “Interactive” meaning players may be able to change the outcome of these events through their actions. Some of these events are already starting in certain sectors across the EVE universe and players are encouraged to check them out.
