    World at War Event

    Has there been any discussion on reviving the World at War EvE event?

    Personally, this was one of my favorite events as the teamwork and interaction with your empire is what I love about this game.

    I remember seeing a suggestion for a faction based in game event and I think utilizing that suggestion and intertwining it with the World at War would make it very interesting.


    I'll expand on my idea a little later when I have more time but I was more curious if it's possible or people even want it.

    +1 to this. I loved WW event.

    I think we'd do better this time too - more players here who would understand the goals this time around.

    I wish it was a regular weekend feature. So much work went into it - it could have become a regular mainstay.

        So playing since 2-3 years.... have seen MMB, Casino Royale and the mini events. Need a change here!!!

        Yes everyone loves MMB but getting somewhat bored seeing the same thing, need a change need something new.

        Someone can create a post on a new event suggestion and the best rational & feasible suggestion/idea sud get a reward. just like the lt. contest.

            World at war event easily the most fun event of them, the others are good but not really fun so to speak WaW had longer battle timed event as well as your normal battle schedule. So u could double up the fun!

            Would be good to see another one.

              It would need to replace some of the regular wars. It was brutal having both going, huge drain on real world time.

                This

                I've been curious for awhile to see the new classes and buildings in play for WW. As a Terminator, I'd like the ability to hit HQs though

                  Please bring it back! Take the two busiest time slots for 5 days and let's war.

                  EvE is pretty stale. Honestly you can figure who is going to win within the first 20 mins, if not sooner, on nearly every war. WW were always different and a smaller empire could do well if they were coordinated.

                  Instead of the tower for more points, make it a bunker for armor packs and have it Regen APs like the hospital.

                    No thanks. It wasnt well recieved. If it was revived i wouldnt participate. Also we dont have the actives for it In the empires like we used to...... you need 1 active per tile to try protect... unless you dominate and then it is 3 tiles to block an empire. I think it was 6 empires. Thats 15 strong actives holding 5 empires back and thats if you could dominate. It was boring, long and just conflicted far to much with normal EvE. My opinion.

                      I hadn't considered the inactive empires here. This actually makes me want another WW event even more.

                      The mingling of empires in the last event was a boost to recruiting here. Tactically, about 60-70% of us understood right away how to win or do well. We acquired some solid talent in that time from low activity empires with 1-2 who were frustrated by their empire's lack of event performance.

                      It's rare that the game offers empires a chance to align and form temporary alliances. In fact, I can think of no other event that does so. Knowing as much of the community as I do now, it would be even better to find an empire that you're friendly or affiliated with and say "Hey, let's gang up on these teams here!". The best matches were the ones where you could do this, and the worst were the ones where 3 other teams already made pacts. It added an extra challenge to the strategies employed. It wasn't just a tap and repeat event and that was the best thing about it.

                      As mentioned above, the only real hardship here was locking down for back-to-back double wars. Many were spent after the 2 hours in WW and played hookey on EvE because the event had a prize ladder worthy of the effort. If done early enough in the season, it won't make a huge impact on season rank if players skip out on EvE matches for WW event ones.

                      Also, reading above, I see the challenges that might be involved in making this happen. We didn't have tier 2 classes yet, and that may be difficult to factor into the design of the event. It might have to be base classes-only like boss fights currently are to work. (It would also force the issue of some of us with max tier 2 classes but bare tier 1 classes sitting on mountains of class coins to spend them.)

                      It'd sure be nice if Duke could chime in about this dormant code and let us know what Gaea's stance on this event type is.

                        You're referring to World War Domination correct? I thought this was a very interesting event, and really enjoyed it. However i would consider changing it, so that there is one winner in every tier or maybe just (Legend, Diamond, Gold). Personally, i'm all in for the event. Get some good empire drops or rewards to use in future EvE wars? I hope they bring this back. I also hope that it's more than just a week long event, like a mini-season.
