Well whatever people think\thought of Somer Blink over the years, to many people Blink was a large part of the EVE universe and a bloody fun one!

Thanks for all the good times im sure many many people will actually miss you guys,i know i will.Sad

The way Somer Blink has been treated here is garbage. I will be doing whatever I can to help get the message across to CCP that this is as much a part of EVE to me as the game itself.

I cannot believe that CCP are being like this. Blink is a HUGE part of my eve life. I know all of us regulars on blink are actually pissed off about this.

On a side note to Somer and staff you have as always done an amazing job and you are the MOST upstanding and honest people I have met in EvE.

CCP needs to burn for this one.

I really enjoyed the two days that I did get to enjoy SOMER Blink. I think that losing Blink is a major blow to the eve community. I hope that they get back to opperating soon.

Then again they have a history of shady dealings. So they would've done something even CCP would have to call them on eventually.

I think the real winners from this micro lottery were those running bots and staying under the ban radar (and I do not even want to think about the possible collusions that could happen there...)

If they come back, they will hopefully put something in place to make sure this can't be botted at all, or that anybody can automate their participation so that botters do not have undue advantages.

Not sure what words are appropriate.

This experience will not be even remotely the same anymore. I can gamble anywhere but, the loss of the fun, the professionalism, the fountains of isk, and above all the community will be greatly missed.







Tell you what I do like though: A killer. A dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold-blooded, clean, methodical and thorough.

Not happy CCP/CSM have acted in this way. tall poppy syndrome.
CCP will probably lose a lot of accounts out of this, not out of protest, but just out of not needing to earn as much ISK,
I hope CCP retires the bus and makes the arrangement official, so that no misunderstanding can happen in the future.
Good Luck Somer, in whatever you do next - perhaps its time to do something new anyway, something that will make you earth rich.

Well if you know any short poppies that are currently giving out isk rewards for buying referral links, be sure to let us know and we'll cut those ones down too. But from where I'm standing it looks more like a weed being pulled.

I will remain hopeful that CCP changes it's mind and we can all be blinking again soon. I have tokens and isk to spend still!! was much fun.

It's pathetic that CCP would shut down such a successful player run organisation like Somer Blink.

They will undoubtably pay for this mistake through lost plex sales and lost subscribed accounts.
