Elite Server Event #1

Let's start small, see how this goes and work our way towards hosting other events like this in the future....

EVENT:
Fireworks Display (bring a variety of guns if you can)
DATE:
August 3rd 2003
TIME:
6:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (Greenwich Mean Time or Zulu Time - 5)
LOCATION:
Just North East behind the Planet Houston in the Texas System/Liberty Space.

This has been done on at least one other server, but never here. Let's all get on the Elite server and meet at the coordinates above. We'll try to only get this to last for 45 to an hour maximum so we can get back to the business of running a regular server. Bring as much of a variety of guns and lets light up the area with a real color display. Screenshots welcomed in fact if people want, I can link them so everyone can see them. Just send the screenies to me, (in .jpg format please).

Don't know how this will pan out, might be a flop, but worth a shot to do something a little different on the server. Sort of a brief cease fire (we'll turn OFF player killing for the event) might help the cause. If the server crashes, it crashes but not for long.

sounds like it should be fun... being a regular and all... how are you going to allow so many people in though? I mean it is tough enough getting in there sometimes when there ISN'T an event... might be tricky...

Post Wed Jul 30, 2003 5:34 am

We should have an event like Big dog fights. All fighters of all shapes come on.


Only two groups.

group a and group b. They have a big fleet battle somewhere (New York cough cough)

Be a few commanders to keep order.


Winners? Get money?

@Vade_Razor

We plan on playing it by ear of course, but there's the possibility of doing a server reboot halfway though to let others on. Maybe twice if we have the time and don't constantly crash the server. We'll up the numbers to over 40 because we'll definately have the new acct creation off as well as the PvP.
