Hi everyone! We are putting on a Death Watch event occurring throughout the weekend! Our first meet-up and takedown was a success. Again, I appreciate all the feedback, positive and negative that I have been seeing. Community input is very important to me!

Please watch your emails and other comms for updates on the whereabouts of the Death Watch.

can we have a week notice so we can plan to participate?

We have 3 types of events:

Pre-planned: These are, as the name implies, pre-planned. They are therefore announced via all channels well in advance to attempt to bring in as many players as possible
On-the-Spot: Again, as the name implies, these are on-the-spot and can happen at any time, unannounced

The idea with these is that EC staff can throw something together quickly at a time that meets their timezone, which might allow better distribution
Also, due to the fact that Hakry and I have had rather aggressive work schedules as of late, we have had limited time available to throw something together

Reward/Milestone: These are rare, designed to reward the community for achieving a particular goal
The Death Watch Escape event was an on-the-spot event, and therefore had very little time from conception to launch (if I recall correctly, it was less than 4 days). As a result, a one week notice wouldn't have been possible.

Not every event is pre-planned to this extent. I will take your request into consideration for the next set of events. Thank you for your input.

For an 'on-the-spot' event spread throughtout the day (weekend?) lasting 40-60m per bout, it had a pretty good turn out, especially toward the end of the night.

Appreciate the work.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Death Watch Escape Weekend events! We had a total of 6 events, with many dedicated players who were present over multiple times and planets, and many new names and faces! You guys chased the Death Watch all over the galaxy, from Talus to Lok and Rori to Naboo and Corellia and finally pushed them back into their bunker on Endor.

I have listened to your input, criticisms, encouragements and ideas. I appreciate those of you who have reached out to me. Please be aware that I am still grinding out Event Coordinator XP so I can't put every idea to use, yet, but have enjoyed everything I have read from you guys!

Please enjoy some screenshots from the remaining DWE Events:

Awesome work Sugar. The amount of time and effort you have put in to learn what is needed to prepare an event, as well as deploy it, is outstanding. I am glad to see there was a good turnout and players had fun.




Thank you for all that were able to attend!

Your right sugar, there should be planned AND unplanned. Sudden and unexpected surprises can sometimes make for the best fun.

Not many people know exactly what kind of time and effort goes into planning and hosting server events. Big thanks to Sugarlizard for your efferts. Unfortunately, there will always be those who are unappreciative of efforts to engage in community activities, but there are many more who are very grateful.

Thank you from <EV>.
