MMO live events are a tricky business due to the fickle nature of playerbases as well as the inherent technical and logistical challenges that often arise. That hasn't stopped CCP from putting together the occasional shindig in EVE Online, and in the company's latest dev blog, CCP Headfirst tells us how the Sansha Reborn events that dovetailed with the Incursion expansion were the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Headfirst writes that there are "entirely new live event plot lines in the works," and he goes on to state that CCP's near-future plans will please both lore hounds and combat fiends alike. Cruise over to the official EVE website to read the full dev blog.

I fail to see how giving the player complete control of aiming would benefit anything...

Yeah, that'll work in a 500 vs 500 battle.. Like herding a lemming fleet through a normal damn jumpgate wasn't hard enough already (did someone say jump? I must jump!?), you want to add free flying and aiming as well. lulz

They need to have one at their ATL Headquarters for their East Coast brethren.

I came here to make a joke about monocles but the haters are out in force so I'll just say that I hope CCP comes up with some fun stuff for you guys.

For those who are curious, I've been watching the Live Events channel (along with a couple others) over the last couple of days, and a lot of the live events that have been taking place recently are actually Factional Warfare events. Yesterday a Chimera and Thanatos from the Caldari Militia and Fed Defense Union respectively jumped into a system and cyno-locked the whole place. The Thanatos was destroyed and the Chimera got out, but there's apparently been reports of Minmatar carriers jumping into Amarr Highsec space, too.
I may just have to get into this Factional Warfare thing soon!
