Remember this event, was fun, me Esme and WL won a red banana and exchange it for a gun worth ~80K iirc it

Perhaps time to make e new thing like this MA

I made so much progress, so fast... there was a 2x event not long after that as well... I gained about 30lvls in hunting 15 in crafting and mining over like 3 months lol...

Might be important to note that skill price went down a lot, just after these events.

I LOVED the 3x skill event! Though many high level players were upset because it DID kick down the skills Market considerably.

That being said.. a 3x skill event every 2 years or so I think would be "do-able".

Maybe not 3x, but 1.5-2x skill gain increase.
It would definitely increase activity.
Give players 1-2months notice and a follow up a week before, plaster the Client loader for Calypso (or perhaps every planet, a Universe wide event!) to make sure people know.
They could also tie in an advertising campaign, new players entering during a Skill Bonus Period, enticing them to play more and deposit to make the most of the skill gain bonus. The invested money would also keep them in game early on, no one wants to leave straight after investing money without giving themselves the chance of big returns.

Edit:

I LOVED the 3x skill event! Though many high level players were upset because it DID kick down the skills Market considerably.

I thought the reaction would have been opposite, especially for the players who find it cheaper to chip in skills for health than to hunt for the skill gains. Perhaps it was just the angry people chipping out without much thought who were pissed off.

I dont think these should be regular events, but I do like the idea of tossing one in every 2-10 years.

Why should they not be regular events?

Because then people will expect them on a time table, and the skills market will not have the ability to recover from the sudden injection of volume due to the expectation that another boost will happen within a finite period of time.

Yes, 10 years possibly is a long time to wait. That's the point.

Scanning robots with 3xskill bonus was fun (back in time).
Now its not even fun scanning a robot with 1xskill -_-
