Combative capsuleers,
The Uprising expansion – a major new narrative-driven update for EVE Online – is coming in November and brings with it the biggest overhaul to Factional Warfare that New Eden has ever seen. The arrival of Frontlines will be a big change to how the empires' militias compete for control of the warzones on Tranquility.
To encourage participation during the testing period on Singularity and thereby obtain as much valuable feedback as possible on this new feature we are hosting a Frontlines Wargame on the Singularity test server with some cool rewards to be granted on Tranquility for individual capsuleers and player corporations who distinguish themselves!
The wargame will commence at 14:00 UTC on 26 October when Singularity becomes accessible to players after the initial state of the Amarr/Minmatar warzone on Singularity is set up and it will conclude at 14:00 UTC on 4 November when Singularity will be taken offline and analysis of the outcome will begin.
There will also be a livestream on CCP TV today, 25 October at 16:00 UTC where CCP Aurora and CCP Swift will go over all the changes coming to Factional Warfare and the content first shown at EVE Vegas last week. For details about the wargame refer to this forum post.
The Frontlines Wargame on Singularity will take place in the Amarr/Minmatar warzone only. By confining the wargame to a single warzone we hope to maximize participation in one place and make monitoring the progress of the event easier.
Factions don't matter for the purposes of this contest, though, and so within the context of this wargame on Singularity the Amarr militia will simply be regarded as the "Blue Force" and the Minmatar will be the "Red Force". So, if you're a proud Gallente or
