Greetings fellow citizens of Eve.
It was my pleasure getting to share the wonderous universe of Eve with all of you during my time in Eve space. Despite it's flaws, it was a worthy adventure. It's biggest flaw, in my opinion, were the game mechanics that allowed some less savory inhabitants to feed off of negativity and the grief of others. Of course, I refer to the niche of gankers (a subgroup of gankers) who bring down the community not from their ganking, but from their intent to grief others -- those who feed their own pleasure through causing pain in others. But there were many good people as well, who thrived on the mutual joy of game play in both peace and conflict. It is that for which the game was intended. I will miss all of you good capsuleers who wished to share in positive mutual game play.
Alas, I am too busy in real life (RL) to continue with Eve at the time. We should all fight the good fight. The good fight in Eve is trying to find and support a balance of play that allows all capsuleers to enjoy the game not just in peace but in conflict. A worthy goal. And for the time being, the good fight in RL has me too busy to continue the good fight in Eve. I will leave my communication channels open while I am away, and I will always be with you in spirit.
Both friend and foe, I would humbly ask you to always seek ways to better your experiences, not just for yourself, but for everyone around you. Good luck to you all.
Scott Bacon
