"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

Eve has been around for ten years. Ccp as a company has been around for even longer. In the real world people change their place of employment from time to time. Generally, it's a good career move and it allows new blood to bring fresh ideas to eve.

All I'm saying is you can't expect Eve to go on for the next ten years with the same exact crew at ccp all the while. Best of luck to Unifex, you did a hell of a thing for eve. Cool

The saying is this: Hi mister rodent. I have a bigger piece of cheese for you if you want to leave that ship.

These guys aren't working at CCP for the satisfaction of forum space nerds. They are there for the paycheck. If someone offers them a bigger one, they leave. No conspiracy, just looking out for number one.

I wish good luck to Jon in whatever the future brings for him.

You people might like to recall that Mr Lander stopped working on EVE nearly a year ago.

Before I read this I was looking for the next Newcastle meet. I say this because I met John and chatted to him twice at that meet and was looking forwards to seeing him again. He is a great bloke and will be sadly missed but whatever he's doing..good luck with it.

Well, that, or the environment is no longer suitable, which in turn leads to self-preservation as you already pointed out.

No conspiracy implied or offered.

He was posted to the Atlanta office.
Odd that they didn't re-absorb him back into EVE .. or perhaps he had a better offer.

That's how I remember it, too. I think they said last year, they'll have something ready this coming fanfest. Oh, well.

Looked it up, here's the transcript of the Crossing Zebras interview from September 2013:

[...] Valkyrie kicked off and just looking at the opportunity we have with that in the short term. It's definitely something I've thrown my all into to get the project up and running. But the intention is – like I said – I'm gonna be handing over so that I can actually go and focus on mobile for CCP and all the various projects and products that we've got planned under that.
[...]
It's going to be happening this year. By the time I get to the end of this year I should be completely transitioned over and looking at what mobile means for CCP and how we should start building things.

CCP's mobile division is not "EVE Mobile".

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a strong Valkyrie element to their mobile work.

Replace Disney with Blizzard and you have Eve where when your ship blows up it "respawns" at the ship graveyard! Big smile
