Docking request accepted

Ladies, gentlemen, capsuleers, carebears, and pirates. It has been a wonderful journey that started nearly two years ago. Alas, it is no longer possible to keep this blog alive and well. It has been one hell of a run. I’ve had the pleasure of working, arguing, and collaborating with such fine individuals as James Egan and Krystalle Voecks at Massively, Crazy Kinux, Mynxee, and Spectre from the blogpack, and countless others who kept me focused through their comments, advice, and criticism. I have enjoyed the experience every step of the way and hope I made a tiny little ripple in the big lake that is the EVE blogging community.

I am going to be focusing on playing EVE with the time I have these days rather than writing about it. My last contribution to the blogging community will be the interview with CCP Hammerhead at a time to be determined. So use the comments in this post to continue to pose your own questions since I would love to get as much answered as I can for everyone. Crazy Kinux is the mastermind behind the meeting so I must give him credit where credit is due. You can get details on the interview by visiting CrazyKinux’s Musing.

Until then, much love, hunt well, fly safe, and thanks to one of the best gaming communities I have had the pleasure of being a part of.

  1. Bleh this sucks. Yours was honestly one of my favorite blogs on my list. Maybe one day when you find more time and motivation you’ll come back to it… everyone gets burnt out eventually but that writing itch is really avoid to ignore.

  2. Hate to hear it xiphos. Good luck to you, in-game and out. Hope you stick around enough to post the occasional comment or two on the blog pack articles. Best.

  3. Just don’t delete the blog. You might change your mind and it would be good to see you back even if sporadically. The Muse, she is fickle.

    See you in space, yarrrrrrr!

  4. Mate, we will miss you, but believe me, I can understand. There are so many hours in the day and something has to give.

    See you out there mate!!!

  5. really dude? i just subscribed to your blog last night :(

  6. I just noticed I said “avoid to ignore”. I think I meant to say “tough to ignore”. I am slightly retarded.

    • It’s ok, we know ;-) I will keep this blog up not only to waste space on the crowded web, but to keep the resources available. If I decide to get back into things it will be here to make the transition smooth.

  7. Whew, well I for one am glad he gone. Oops, I mean sad. Really. Honest.

    :) Hate to not read you. Don’t shoot, I come carebearing gifts!

  8. Sad to see this blog go out of business. I came late in the game but I’ve always enjoyed it.

    But I realize just how you feel. The actual game takes too much of my time to play, I couldn’t imagine adding working on blog to that. Especially one that’s so well put together.

  9. Keep the blog-fires burning, you might be back someday :) Fly Fun!

  10. He’ll be back.

    They ALWAYS come back.

  11. I’ve so enjoyed your blog, you will be missed :)

  12. You’ll be sorely missed. Perhaps we’ll pass in the spcae lanes…

    Fly safe.

  13. Hate to see you go, and have greatly enjoyed your posts. Fly safe.
