Yes they are, but they're good words, and they're words from the top.

It's only the first step, but at least the step is in the right direction.

After the last several months of combative, dismissive, and downright vague dev blogs, this is a breath of fresh air.

My hope for the future of the game has been restored.

A good, hope-restoring post. Now let's hope the actions follow the words.

An unexpected devblog, but I am glad to see it. I prefer a humble, cooperative and curious Hilmar much more than an arrogant and uninterested one. These words mean a lot, at least to me.

Now we just wait for what you do.

It's not the first step, actually. It's the promise of a first step. Or, well, I guess you could argue what has to come first and whatnot. But Ivana is right. Ten birds in a blog and one on sisi, or something.

This goes a long way toward restauring my faith in CCP's leadership. I appreciate the courage it takes to publicly admit you were mistaken.

I was expecting a blog full of excuses and backpedaling. I was honestly surprised and impressed with the amount of honesty and reflection that was put into that post. Bravo!

Big fat kudos to you Hilmar! This is the blog many have been waiting for. Combined with Zulu's, I can't imagine that all of New Eden won't be in a festive mood this weekend!
