Rifterlings loosing a member... :(

Rifterlings always give us good fights in minny/amarr faction warfare zone, and now more than ever we need more people in that area as good fights are getting harder and harder to find (where did everyone go?). Lowsec (at least in that area) seems more dead than ever.

o7 to Rifterlings!



Geez. Should I make a melodramatic post about how I'm not with Rifterlings anymore too? I could use more likes and pity.

More seriously, there are some people suffering from burn-out, and a lot of people running into disillusionment with FW. If you would like to see the various complaints (including my own) you can check out Fozzie's FW improvements thread.

And come by Litom to find me, if you want. Pirate

Right in the feels

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

I remember when I made the call to come to CCP and had to give up my characters.

It was surprsingly hard to give up on a corporation that I'd ran for over 7 years, and cut loose wingmen that I'd flown with for a decade.

Real hard decision, but we all still speak out of game, and most of them attend player gatherings and fanfest, so we get to talk, but it can be painful to cut loose of a group you've been gaming with for years.

Also, coming to CCP was so worth it in the long run.

Haha CCP Falcon how long had you been playing EVE when you were hired at CCP? Although you get to work on this amazing game, do you ever miss just being in comms talking about fits, strategy, and what to do?

Yeah, I miss it sometimes, but there's a healhy contingent of CCPers who play a crapton of EVE to talk shop with. It's just not the same as being in a position where you're talking to bros that you've spent a decade flying with.

No offense but if that's the hardest thing you have ever had to do then you have had a charmed life. Since you mentioned high school, I take it you are pretty young still?


Isn't "No Offense" great? You can totally offend someone and then claim its their problem because you didn't mean any offense! Not that I totally disagree though. I just prefer to let people have their goodbye threads in peace. Oh wait, I'm doing the same thing you did now. You're such a good teacher!

Not really sure why you left a corp you like OP, but have fun with industry.

Let Devs actually play their own freaking game with their normal play characters alongside the players, and if any employees use Dev powers to benefit their corp or alliance, fire them.

It makes no sense to me to isolate ALL the developers from the community behind shrouds of secrecy because a few bad apples can't resist the temptation to cheat.



Yeah it makes perfect sense because its a HUGE conflict of interest. And it was abused hardcore in the past. Its actually why we have CSM.
