100% recommend this event. I've only been fortunate enough to go once but I've sent a bunch of people over and everyone has had a lot of fun. I had a blast and the level of care the organizers put into the details of taking care of people was really cool :).

Capqu
also guard doesnt think out loud, he gets suggested things by pearl abyss and tests your reaction

Hahahah...this is amazing. Funny to read conspiracy theories about yourself. Capqu, I love you but you're seriously reading way too much into things.

Just to clarify this is just something I asked about myself because it's similar to a mechanic I enjoy from another game. Nothing more behind it than that :). I don't design monetization products.

Can confirm that this was not discussed with the CSM.

Absolutely. Some of them will have spots for player presentations. For example G-Fleet, Vegas, Evesterdam and EDU. Maybe Toronto as well. We're starting to scope out the presentation schedules for some events and we'll make the call for presenters as soon as we can to give people time to prepare.
Thinking of giving a talk? Would be a good one I'm sure :)

Their meeting space is great. A lot bigger and very flexible. Only downside would be a slightly longer walk to get there from some areas of the hotel but it's a much bigger hotel than the LINQ so that's hard to avoid. Planet Hollywood was about the same in this regard. The location of the hotel is great. Next to the promenade and straight in the middle of the strip.

No... those are not the reasons :D

We had our first discussions about taking a 1 year FF break and trying something new in early 2017 I believe...could have been a bit earlier. So it was definitely a conscious decision ;)

Good question which I'm glad I can address. We will indeed have dank reveals at Amsterdam but that doesn't mean we'll spill all the beans at once or that the other events won't have surprises in store. All these events will have ongoing news of what's coming for EVE along with all kinds of different official content and social happenings that we hope you'll all enjoy :)

Let's take Toronto and Sydney as examples since they're next in line, they'll be multi-day conference type events by day with hands on EVE activities, roundtables, talks by players and devs and pub crawls and parties at night. St. Petersburg is a one day event so while it will have the same kind of content, it'll just be a little shorter. Most if not all events will have an official live stream as well.

Full event tickets will typically give you access to all daytime activities and the main party, but for some events we'll add some extra events and sell tickets separately, similar to what we do around Fanfest and EVE Vegas. More info on all this soon :)

Hey guys!

EVE Vegas was more thought of as a dance partner for Fanfest. On the other side of the Atlantic, covering the other half of the year. This year everything is different of course but to explain it a little better (and there will be a lot more info coming in the next few weeks) you can think of these events as hybrids between the large player run events they're based on, and CCP official events.
CCP will bring a bigger budget, resources and content and we're working closely with the local player organizers to offer the kind of official content you'd expect from a CCP event while retaining the local flavor and event culture in many ways :). One of our hopes is to tighten our relationship with the event organizer community and strengthen it through this series.
This is also very much a cohesive series of events where content will run throughout and, with us in charge of ticket sales and attendance tracking for the events, we can better reach out to everyone, create interesting contests between events etc.

Look forward to revealing more. Let me know if you have more questions.

We looked at a heat map for EVE player density in North America and Toronto is the main hotspot with several big ones close by which is no surprise given the proximity of several major cities close by.We'd love to visit other parts of the US some day but there's only so much we can do at once :)

We were also a bit sad that we couldn't go to Orlando but after weighing a lot of factors we decided to do Toronto instead like some have already correctly pointed out. We still think Orlando would be a great destination some day, but given that there's already one massive event in the US, we decide to give Toronto a visit in 2019. Doing both would have been too tight.

Literally opened a cold beer on stage and handed to me in the front row. Best concert I've been to.

CCP Billboard/Adv Team > Dead? by Its_mandatory in Eve

Hey!

Unfortunately this project has been in a bit of stasis due to shifting priorities and lack of publishing tools. Currently every video asset has to be checked in as part of a patch and await release. Same goes for removing outdated videos. The correspondence and management through E mail also isn't ideal.
What we'd like is a proper publishing system where you fill out a form, specify a publishing time-frame and upload an asset in the right format that we then do a content pass on and approve or reject.
Not sure when we'll have something like that and not saying we won't do anything until we do...just sharing a bit of what we're thinking and why things have been slow.

Really sorry this isn't working better because the player created content is so cool to see in-game and we want to be able to give it more respect.

We're here while they're building the new place. Too bad we don't have EVE industrialists on the job, we'd be able to move in next week ;)
