Socratic might have been right about something. He may out-last me in EvE.
Yup...I actually pushed the button.
It has been a hell of a ride. And unless something takes a sharp turn, August 16 will be the last day for me in EvE. Which means this blog will probably get a title change when I find something else to play.
The stories will stay here. The IEEE will be staying with me, and no, you can't have my stuff. (Not that there is that much of it.) You never know if the EvE that I know and love will be back.
The locator agent tool will stay up as long as justaddhippopotamus.com stays up. Or until CCP makes me take it down because I won't buy their license.
I spent enough time looking at the cancel button. It was hard. Hopefully, enough folks do the same and CCP realizes that they've done some real damage to themselves willingly.
I was looking forward to WoD. I helped with the Shared Universe one year. More as a glorified taxi driver for the man who ran Ottawa's branch of it. (For those who don't know...it was a multi-city shared universe LARP based on the Laws of the Night that White Wolf put out)
But. I can't stomach it anymore. Maybe once I've washed this awful taste out of my mouth with another game.
Will you keep playing (and posting) while your subscription runs down?
ReplyDeleteGonna miss you Cayne. I've lurked on this blog for a long, long time and kept up with your exploits, Paul Clavet's, and many of the other eve legends. Truly been an inspiration, and it's a shame, though not at all unexpected, to see you go. I feel like others will follow, me too probably. Thanks for the excellent stories, hilarious trolls, and nonstop actions you provided, not to mention the inspiration for my own (albeit low-level) actions.

Butbutbut... You can't leave. What other blog will entertain me like yours has?! This sucks. :(
ReplyDeleteBlog lurker here.. I can empathize with the feeling of button clicking. For me, it may well be watching a non-renewing subscription just... go away. I will keep my eyes open to see where you go. My possible next target is http://godsandheroes.com/ . Let us know where you go. I will miss your writing and the stories of your determination in the execution of your duties in the EVE universe.
ReplyDeleteGonna miss your eve antics. I can't say I blame you though, that licensing fee is probably going to kill a large majority of the free eve apps out there entirely and I generally don't feel comfortable paying for stuff with paypal or the like...
ReplyDeleteI stopped playing Eve about a year ago but have continued to read and enjoy this blog. No doubt you'll thrive in whatever game you pick next you clever sod. Thanks for all the laughs.
ReplyDeleteI don't play EVE. I tried it for about a month, once, but I discovered that I like the idea of the game a hell of a lot more than the game itself.
ReplyDeleteSo, I read about it occasionally. Your blog has been extremely entertaining for that. I wish you well.
