Also, a big thanks to Hilmar for writing this. It is a hard thing to admit when you have made a mistake.

This is exactly what we needed to see from Hilmar and CCP, and I applaud the courage it took to post such an apology to the community.

Thank you, Hilmar, for your candor.

This is a really big step towards re-establishing the trust that I'd lost in you guys; I look forward to seeing what you and the rest of CCP have planned for us.

But above all else, communication is the key!

Good first step down a long road, Hellmar. Stay the course and we'll be with you every step of the way.

Looking forward to the follow on where you detail how you're going to commit to the new path. Please believe that we still wish you every success, and that all we've ever wanted was to sincerely help you make EVE the flagship of the entire MMO community. As I still believe it should be.

As I still believe it can be.

You said you were going to watch what we did. I know what you were thinking when you wrote those words, but let me recast them for you in another way. EVE is a sandbox, In the MMO world, EVE should stand for community, for partnership between players and developers, for continual evolution, for the greatest social experiment in gaming history.

Give us the opportunity to work with you, give us the tools to reshape this gorgeous, vicious, intriguing, unparalleled universe and then, by God, watch what we do with them.


Don't let us down and we won't let you down.

Deal?

There IS hope, after all.

Now, usual meme - what you do, not what you say, etc.

But with a pinch of trust now.

About time. this was what i was waiting for. Through this whole mess the only thing on my mind was where is hellmar until now i don't think we've seen him at all. I was really just wondering what frame of mind the CEO was in to let this all happen. But i'm glad he had put him self back into the "game" and i hope what he says will get done.

Live long and prosper hellmar, do the eve universe proud.
