For this first run, we're limiting the event timers to make sure everything rolls out smoothly. We'll be setting up more in the future and will be sure to have greater timezone coverage. |

We're monitoring these battles as the "official" fighting on the planet. Depending on how the results pan out, we'll adjust the direction of the storyline accordingly. If the Templaris Dragonaurs (attackers) win overwhelmingly, there will be less surviving DUST mercs in the backstory, while if Mordu's Legion (defenders) wins, more will have survived.
There is no specific reward for this event, but there will be something in future events. |

That depends on how you want the story to unfold. 
The statistics for people joining these battles so far are amazing, and it's very encouraging to see people getting actively involved with the ongoing rollout of storyline  |

Think of the event this way though: Things, just like in EVE, will not always happen exactly when you want them to happen. It is living and breathing world and it is a single shard universe. Sometimes you have to be in the right place in the right time to experience something unique and live to tell the tale to others.
I missed a lot of amazing EVE battles myself and yet I get chills just from listening to the stories my friends tell me later and vice versa. But you will have so many things to experience that you simply will not be able to get in all of them unless you simply don't sleep at all :) And I know some of you are even capable of doing that.
But rest assured that you will make an impact in New Eden. Because you are here to do that. |

Hey guys, we appreciate the feedback here and everywhere else. We're quite happy with the turnout even though there are obviously some kinks/hurdles to overcome.
1) We know you can't pick which side to join at the moment. It's a bit of a pain, but our backend currently doesn't have the capability to do it properly, though we're looking into ways to get around that.
2) The problem with the corps switching away from the Templaris Dragonaurs and Mordu's Legion were unexpected and we're looking into ways to keep that from happening. In case it occurs in the future, we'll be sure to clearly identify who is supposed to be the attacked and who is supposed to be the defender.
3) THIS event did not have any specific reward tied to it, but we might be giving some extra rewards out for future battles. My lips are sealed about what they might be.
4) You're not only affecting the EVE storyline, you're affecting the DUST storyline as well. If you don't care about that, fair enough. But for those who do, trust me, your actions were noticed (and will be reflected).
5) We currently have to put all these events into the system manually, which means we need a GM sitting there putting in new contracts as battles end. This is obviously suboptimal, but is part of the reason the length of the events are restricted for now. We've got some crazy people in the Live Events team, however, so we've got plans to cover additional timezones and get some extended events going.

Is there a choice which side i get to fight with? if there is no choice then is mostly just random as most people dont care they just want to grind, or MCCC
We're working on getting that functionality soon.
Trust me, we're very very excited about having that in place. |
