Thread: In Game Concert Announced

  1. #1

    In Game Concert Announced (Updated time!)

    In Game Concert Announced

    In a special event next weekend, we have teamed up with our partners at Massive and Verizon Wireless to provide a great in-game concert event.

    Preparations have been completed for the grand concert in the ICC area in Andromeda and we invite all North America-based citizens of Rubi-Ka to attend this unique musical event.

    The concert features The All-American Rejects and the event kicks off at 3PM Eastern Time on August 12, 2007 (To figure out what that means in your local time check here ).

    Keep your eyes peeled for teasers and more information during the coming week for this exciting event!

    UPDATE

    Tonight's scheduled concert is postponed. Time and Date TBA. We apologize sincerely for the technical difficulties and thank all who came out earlier. The response was overwhelming and we'll definitely try to do more of these.

    Interesting... never seen an concert ingame. O.o

    Will it be a 100% zone while the concert is running? I dont want to accidentally be there with a flag and get ganked while trying to enjoy the music.

    Why only north american players? Is that based on the time of the event or is it somehow disabled for gamers from the rest of the world to view it?

    Has to be some kind of licensing issue.

    F#$%^@# lawyers screw those of you not from North America.

    Either that or the streaming abilities of the ad system that'll probably be used for it will restrict it...

    What if I use a proxy?

    At any rate, who is that band? I've never heard of them o.O and how does this all work? Since I'm not elligible to attend anyway, we should get the scoop on how it's done!

    I bet the server upgrade is making it possible for such event to take place. This is great news, makes me feel like this game just got A LOT more modern.

    Is this an actual in game concert the band knows they are playing in? Or is it just a concert streamed via Verizon from some other place?

    Haha! In real life its a 75% zone and they check you for weapons before you enter the venue. So I imagine we will have to hand over our weapons to an ARK or GM .

    I should like to point out that even in a 100% Zone you can still be attacked if you have a flag iirc

    Nah, region flags are pretty easy for a GM to Change, and you can wear your weapons (in-game) anywhere, you just cannot use them everywhere *me tries to picture GM's confiscating MA hands and feet*

    Licensing/legal reasons.

    Hehe, MA's will own everybody in a weapon-free concert.

    On a 100% completely unrelated note, I'm going to go roll a new toon...



    I'm thrilled to see stuff like this... updating and upgrading and modernizing is fantastic.

    I'll be there!

    I don't particularly care for the band, but live performances (even if "televised") tend to be better than albums. Also, it's a legitimate reason to finally get to wear something out of the 8+ bags of social armor I have.

    I got a feeling that it's gonna be hard as hell getting in the battlestation...
